Cahuita

Yesterday we left Puerto Viejo to go to Cahuita, only one hour away by bus (probably meaning no more than 30kms). We went to have red-snapper in a rasta bar, just infront of la Playa Negra (not to be confused with black beach, La Jolla. Some know why.).


Anyway, the point is still that the sand is black...

Going to the other side of town, one can find beautiful white-sand beaches, and a national park (including the beach). There we went with a guide early this morning and spotted lots of wildlife, as this slow sloth...


The next one is taken from less than 100m away!


Another sloth trying to reach the next tree (it took him about five minutes to figure out he was too short by about one meter).



The same snake as the other day, on flash needed this time.


And tons tons of monkeys... Here is one with its baby.


After a 6-hour walk, we chilled on the beach, and were surrounded by many others (videos to come).

Cyber is closing, we'll have to write more later. But we are flying back tomorrow night!

Je n'ai pas vu où est celui qui "est pris à une distance de moins de cent mètres"
L'art du camouflage doit fonctionner trop bien.
Pour le reste on se croirait au jardin d'acclimatation, avec les barreaux en moins... et la jungle en plus....
