As we were hiking, this was part of the beautiful country we enjoyed.
The further we went the mountains, trees, valleys and mountains were breathtaking.
Below is a shot of our trail as we went further into the jungle. The roads got smaller, muddier, the bugs came out, the bugs and birds got louder and louder.
Here is the village we stayed out one night. The village was quite small, had one covered area, a patio for cooking and a couple of tables. The people were very nice, friendly, and the place was spotless. A cold shower felt soo good. The surrounding areas were coffee fields, which are really mountains.
Enjoying electricy, I got a kick out of this meter. Note the 120V disconnect switch with exposed leads, bare wires going into the switch and cable right next to a metal roof with NO ground. Oh yah, the school was next door and little kids played here...
As we were walking a Tucan fly by and into a tree. The shot below is from 100meters with a 300mm lens. Give it up for RAW format for croping.
If it looks wet this day it was...90% humity and 90 degrees.
The higher we went the more mountians valleys and trees came out.
This creek was soo nice to stop and get some shade and cool. At 90 degrees and 90% humidity the shade is a welcome moment.
The higer we went, the more valleys were visable.
Jairo was our guide by day and chef by night. He wipped up some really good food.
The valleys, mountain ridges, trees and farming fields were everything and more like Athe image of Costa Rica in my mind.
Across the valley we spotted this waterfall. This was at least 1/2 mile away.
A closer shot of that Tucan. The stripped underside is more visable here.
