So I just realized as I look over my blog that I never mentioned the National Park here in Manuel Antonio. Joanie and I ventured into the park for a day before she had to leave. It is a great area that is at the end of the beach. It cost $10 to enter, but it is so worth it on account of how many animals you see, the tranquility you feel and the practically abandoned beaches you encounter. On our walk to one of the many beaches, we saw crabs, deer, monkeys and more. Here are a few pictures of the adventure...
the signs directing us to the many beaches available in the park..
there are enormous bamboo forests that seriously are bigger than some of the trees here... I would estimate about 4 stories tall. NO JOKE.
The trees here are super impressive for so many reasons. Some are enormous, and others are like this with one of the most effective defense mechanisms I have ever seen...
Another cool piece to the jungle were these roots and trees. They created an obstacle course and a cool photo...
And the monkeys... SO cute... and literally everywhere.
The beaches in the park are awesome and beautiful. A bit more peaceful and less populated. Far to the left you can almost see the beaches we usually populate.
Great photos, great blog. These are some of my favorite places as well.
ReplyDeleteI am really impressed with your pictures. You have managed to take some really good ones. Keep it up! My secret to taking good pictures was take A LOT of them, and always have cool things to take pictures of.
ReplyDeleteI think you certainly have the cool things to take pictures of.
