Day 16

Corcovado Park Sirena Station

After a very rough boat ride, our group (which included us, an older couple of a retired business professor and a judge,  and a young Latvian couple who spoke Russian) arrived a Corcovado. We saw a feu de lance, the most dangerous snake in Central America and almost invisible. Then a family of peccaries (wild pigs), trotted by. Next was a two-toed sloth sleeping in a tree. Then there were the monkeys! We saw all four types, white-faced Capuchins (the mafia of the jungle), a sweet and sad looking howler monkey, spider monkeys, and final last and least, the squirrel monkey. As if that weren’t enough, we encountered a large anteater in a tree and finally a tapir which looked like a mini hippo wallowing in the mud. I am not even counting the three-toed sloth with greenish fur, the possum, iguanas, crocodiles, toucans, or many other birds.
