COSTA RICA La Fortuna and Arenal



Hotel Bijagua at La Fortuna was a good choice for us, very nice room and garden, supermarket next door and an excellent meal from soda y restaurante across the road.

 We drove west past Lake Arenal to Arenal Volcano.  This is as close as we could get.  A bit further down the road we walked one trail, seeing only this Emerald Basilisk until rain sent us back.

The weather improved so we walked a shorter trail.

We saw many heliconias and several big birds, Gray-headed Chachalacas.
