Friday

On Friday we went for a rainforest hike with hanging bridges. We drove about 2 hours away to the rainforest surrounding Miravalles and Tenorio volcanoes. Once again we started with a warm sunny day at Playa Conchal (where our hotel is), and by the time we arrived in the rainforest the skies were cloudy/rainy and it was very cool. I guess they don't call it the rainforest for nothing! We weren't able to get any good photos of the volcanoes.

The hike took about 2.5 hours, and went over 3 hanging bridges. The bridges were about 300 feet long and were 100-125 feet in the air. The bridges were very wobbly! It was very cool to see the trees from so high up though. It allowed for some great views of the tree tops, and the forest below.

Once again, our guide was very knowledgeable and told us all about the plants and animals of the rainforest. We ended the tour with a rice/beans/chicken plate back at the lodge before we headed back for Playa Conchal.

We are planning on spending our last 2 days in Costa Rica taking advantage of the resort and the water sports out on the beach. There are many activities here that we have yet to try!
