There was a 15ft, freshwater waterfall and swimming hole inside the woods. After a week of swimming in the warm salt water ocean (I know, its a rough life I lead), a cool dip in a freshwater river is heavenly. We climbed up the waterfall. Sat right below it. Best massage in the world. And we could dive off rocks into the smaller freshwater pool. Be jealous.
We went on a 8k hike (16k total, both ways) through a primary lowland rainforest, aka a Jungle. Monkeys overhead, leaf cutter ants below, gigantic tress and vines thicker than my head, and a beach at the end of the hike that was more refreshing than you could ever possibly imagine. Saw some cool stuff on the way to the forest, as well. Like the dead whale below.
Then we took a boat to Isle del Caño, a small island off the Coast of our beach. Also, very beautiful. Saw a humpback whale, dolphins, and sea snake on the way. Beautiful.
Corcovado was insane. We lived in the Jungle. The humidity made sure your clothes were always soaked. Monkeys swung all around us. Went for a swim every morning at 6:30am (best bath in the world) and cooled off in the afternoon with another dip or two - no need to ever actually shower. Drank water straight from the forest. Ate beans and rice everyday. Although we had (and still have) class every single day from about 8am till 6pm with occasional night lectures, being in paradise makes it seem all okay. Again, be more jealous.
Then we had to say goodbye to our beautiful home. We had places to be, more beautiful places to see. Left Corcovado on the 14th to travel to Santa Rosa.
More to come...
