Not all diamonds

Well, we determined today that every day out can’t always be phenomenal. We went on a “nature walk” in search of sloths. I’ve really never been that interested in sloths, but now that they tell me they’re out there, I’m determined to find them! So we went out at 10:30am and walked for 90 min or so … only found 2 sloths. 😩 we ran into a guide and he told us we were there at the wrong time and to come back at 3:30 when it is cooler. We did that, walked it again for 90 min, but still no more sloths than the first time. It’s fairly uncomfortable searching for sloths in that they’re high up in the trees so you have to constantly be looking up.

We did find 3-4 sloths, but the iguanas and lizards are everywhere. So prehistoric looking. Also found termite nests, ant hills and birds everywhere.

Overall, kind of a bust as the park said we could see up to 40 sloths and we only saw a few. But, days can’t all be diamonds.

We figure the “sleepy” volcano is doing more than sleeping. We saw it venting some steam today as we sat and ate dinner . 🤷‍♂️En savoir plus
