A snake on the path which our "guide" stepped over without seeing during a bridge canopy tour of Santa Elena cloud forest.

A sloth near Volcan Poas. Such cool creatures. This was a 3-toed sloth. This is the other reason to visit Costa Rica: Mount Arenal, one of the few active Volcanoes in this hemisphere. This is a rare shot as the mountain is usually covered in mist. At night when it is clear and the volcano is spewing, it is a wonderful show of nature's fireworks. The enormous (2nd largest in the world) crater of Volcan Poas, some 1.5km across, with a lake in its centre. An incredible view once the clouds cleared after 30 minutes of waiting. One of the other people doing the Monteverde canopy tour. You can see just how high up the zip lines were, the last of the 16 was 600 metres long and 90 metres above the forest floor. Sunset at Playa del Coco, Pacific coast.
You can see why surfing is the big attraction. This is the famous Salsa Brava shot from Beach Break. (p.S. These are not my shots, just place holders until I get my external hard drive back) A snake on the path which our Puerto Viejo An extremely cold swim in the San Ramon waterfalls, Monteverde. So cold it was quite painful, in fact. Had to be done though. An iguana we spotted during a trip up the Sarapiqui river.
