Memos for Me

I love Senda Monteverde Hotel! However after a final morning walk, we left Monteverde for our final destination in Carrillo Beach in Guanacaste.

Yellow-faced Grassquit

Blue and White Swallow

Northern Emerald Toucanet

Rufous-capped Warbler

White-eared Ground Sparrow

Along the way, we stopped once again in Abangares for gas, where I was entertained by the Macaws.

The views along the route were also pretty amazing.

We later stopped for lunch and a private, guided boat tour on the Bebedero River in the Tempisque River basin bordering Palo Verde National Park.

Bare-throated Tiger Heron

Grey Hawk

Groove-billed Ani

Iguana

Pacific Screech Owls

Spot-breasted Oriole

Streak-backed Oriole

Wood Stork

We also saw so many crocodiles and babies!

We even saw monkeys, a giant anteater and bats! I need to emphasis how excited I was to see the bats!! I finally got a video of a basilisk running on water as well.

Our final days will be spent at Nammbú Beach Resort. I’ll admit I was not in the best of moods when I arrived – I was pure crankiness. I ended up taking a quick trip to check out the beach at sunset before getting in the pool to cool off and nab a drink from the poolside bar (which definitely helped).
