It is 4 pm. The sun is finally not melting the roads and the temperature has finally gone down to an agreeable and “fresh” 30 degrees. So, it is rush hour in monkey highway.

Click this link to get a peek on our new neighbors. Spoiler alert: No scary insects and spiders. This is much more exotic and “tropical” than Guanacaste.

I say serious because we had felt slight tremors before. Both in Alajuela and in Guanacaste. They usually came at night and they felt as if someone had forgotten a mobile in vibration mode on the bed. Like a subtle, almost unnoticeable move.

Esta vez en dirección a la región que muchos consideran la más salvaje … More Playa, montaña y selva…en la misma semana
This week we have been a little busy. Hence, the neglected blog. At the end of February, the end of our beach vacation was also there and we had to get back on the road.

We have now arrived to what will be our home for the next four months. The trip was “almost” uneventful. Almost. Let me explain. We left the central pacific with blue sky and full sun. It was even too hot. But as we were approaching the Osa Peninsula, it suddenly got dark. Let me repeat. … More Welcome to the jungle!

This is the second wildlife rescue center that we have visited since we arrived in Costa Rica in January. … More The bitter-sweet feeling of visiting wildlife rescue centers
