Costa Rica - Puntarenas

Today our excursion started at 7:15 a.m. We boarded a bus for about an hour drive through the town of Puntarenas and out into the country side for our Jungle River and Crocodile boat tour.

Our tour was on a river boat that took us through the Rain Forest, Mangrove Forest and out to the breakwater of the Pacific Ocean. We saw quite a few crocodiles in the water and on the shore. Take a look at one of the attached pictures for the crocodile that was just barely visible in the water. This guy was about 17 feet long. We saw lots of exotic birds, a monkey, and of course the Black Hawk just stood there and watched us go by. We decided that it was not a good idea to put your feet, hands or other body parts in the water. We ended our tour with fresh fruit and Mango juice. We got back on the bus and arrived back to the ship a little after 12 noon.

Very knowledgeable tour guide and an enjoyable time.

Costa Rica is a country that only has 2 seasons, Dry and Rainy. They are known for their coffee production.
