Bolita Rainforest Hostel

To get to the Hostel we had to cross a river and hike through the Jungle. When we got there it was dark and we were really hungry. Ron, the friendly owner of the place showed us around and told us the lost important things such as that the water was drinkable, not to step on spiders, snakes or frogs, because they were everywhere and to be quiet between 10pm and 6am. We cooked dinner, veggie pasta, in our outdoor kitchen and went to sleep. Our room was very simple but we didnt need more. There were some bathrooms and showers a bit further away and the mainhouse was also really close. The next day we went hiking on the trails of the Bolita area. There was a map and all the trails were perfectly marked. The cool thing was that we were actually right next to the Corcovado national park and the variety of plants and animals was exactly the same but instead of paying a guide to walk us around we could walk on our own and see everything by our own. We did all the trails except for the small waterfalls next to the house. We saw monkeys, tucans, a snake, frogs and many birds. We gpt to big waterfalls where we went swimming. We got back at 2 pm and I sat down on a chair with a beautiful view and while Noah was sleeping I planned our further trip. The next day we ate breakfast on the terrasse, where we got visited by some Colibris drinking nectar in the flowers around us and walked to the waterfalls we hadnt seen. While we were walking it started raining really hard and I took a big leave and used it as umbrella haha. At around 9 we left and walked down to Dos Brazos where our car was parked. Some backpackers we met at the Hostel asked us to take them with us until Uvita, where they wanted to take a but to go further to the north and of course we let them come with us. So we were 5 people in the car: Sebastian, a danish guy, Henning and his girlfriend from Germany, Noah and me, driving to Uvita, listening to songs and singing along.Read more
