Returned from Tortugero to San Jose for the night before we leave for our project at La Luchita
Arrived after a 5 hour bus ride - met by Luz from the Amanabif project.
On project with a women's community group who grow coffee and are looking to branch out into eco-tourism. They have built a guest house and we are helping dig a swimming pool 😧😂
Day off with some of the community to explore local waterfalls and have a swim 😀
Digging continues, a new outdoor table and fences have been constructed, the guest house is painted with our personal touch added 🖐️ and we found time to roast and grind our own coffee☕ .
Final phase - travel from La Luchita to the pacific coast for some r&r at the beach and national park
Walking trek through the national park with a fantastic guide
Walking tour exceeded expectations - we saw howler and white faced monkeys, frogs, snakes, insects, lizards and sloths!
Great swim in the ocean at the end of our trek through the national park
Alex and Dan took an additional night trek with the guide company we used earlier. Dylan was a fantastic guide who was amazing at listening for and spotting animals!
