Rincon National Reserve

Today I went on a long hike in La Rincon National Park.  Less than an hour from Liberia, there is this beautiful reserve with hiking trails.  I walked through lush rainforest and saw waterfalls, monkeys and toucans!

Rope bridge not up to code

Super cool tree

Then the jungles opened up to a prairie

Lizard!

Another day, another beautiful waterfall

And just a word on prices, while Costa Rica is more expensive than Nicaragua, it’s still quite affordable.  Examples:

Lodging = $10/night

Meals = $23 (was the most expensive.  On the beach and included fish and several beers)

Transportation = $20 (to get to and from the national park.  All other transportation has been under $4)

Tomorrow I travel to La Fortuna (by Arenal Volcano, a touristier place).  I don’t plan on having many adventures until Monday so check back then!
