Costa Rica Rainforest

Did a half to full day activity where we traveled to Sky Adventures Arenal Park where you can see rain forest, cloud forest and the Arenal volcano (very active up until 2010).

We did a three hour walk followed by a trip on their gondola. Both well worth doing.

The gondola going up through the canopy.

This was fascinating. It was a moth which got infected by a fungus. The fungus turns the moth into a zombie under its control and eventually kills it.

A view from the top of the gondola.

Going through the canopy.

One of the many types of butterflies they have.

This is a very small pit viper.

One of the two waterfalls we saw. You can see the more adventurous types trying to climb it.

Lots of these unusual trees around.

Can’t recall the name of this bird but lovely colouring.

A somewhat larger pit viper!

This is a photo of a tarantula in its hole. Quite glad it didn’t come out to complaint about the light.

Typical part of the path.

A fairly huge stick insect.

One of the dozen or so bridges we crossed on the walk. Amazing views from them.
