» A selection of member photos for Costa Rica
An iguana we spotted during a trip up the Sarapiqui river. A snake on the path which our Punta de Uva beach, near Puerto Viejo, Caribbean coast. A sloth near Volcan Poas. Such cool creatures. This was a 3-toed sloth. 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.
The road to Manzanillo 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. An extremely cold swim in the San Ramon waterfalls, Monteverde. So cold it was quite painful, in fact. Had to be done though. 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) Shame I have such a stupid expression in this photo, but look at the size of the beetle on me! This was at World of Insects, Monteverde. I have holes in my t-shirt from the hooks on its feet...
