Costa Rica 2008
Four of us from Golden Triangle Audubon spent Nov 6-15 in Costa Rica, an absolutely beautiful country blessed with an amazing variety of Flora and Fauna. I highly recommend this friendly country. We started our trip with one night at Hotel Bougainvillea in the San Jose area. They feature a large (8 acres) and beautiful garden behind the hotel. We then travelled to the Tarcoles / Carara area (Pacific lowlands) and spent two nights at Hotel Villa Lapas. From there we crossed back across the mountains, stopping at Cinchona (an area hard hit by the recent earthquake) for hummingbirds and spent three nights at the La Selva Research Station in the Carribean lowlands. Easily the most "birdy" of our destinations. From there we travelled back thru San Jose and headed South into the Talamanca Mountains for three nights at Savegre Mountain Lodge. Great trip!!!
