Should I have gone? Budgetarily speaking, probably not. But it was really fun.
Here are some very amateur photographs from the trip:
On our way from the coastal town of Tamarindo to the mountain village of Monte Verde.
Arenal Volcana overlooking the city of La Fortuna(very much an active volcano. We sat a few miles from the base one night and watched lava barf over the top edge for a good hour)
A nature walk around the base of the above volcano during the day. The wildlife is spectacular because of the richness of the soil. Then we smoked 'em.
A cascada a few miles outside of La Fortuna. This was in the middle of a serious rainforest, we had to hike in a few miles to get here, but the swimming was worth it.
Poorly executed artsy shot attempt, but the flower is pretty, eh?
