So on our first full day of the trip we headed to Arenal 1968 park for a short hike and our first experience of the Costa Rican forest.
Whilst we’ve not yet spied the iconic sloths or monkeys, the experience was an assault on our senses, and mainly our ears. I really cannot describe all the sounds we heard, with some of them almost otherworldly (although after much listening we think a lot of them were different birds). The cacophany of noises was intense and when it stopped momentarily I almost thought I’d gone deaf!!
Whilst it was an incredibly hot and humid walk, leaving us knackered very quickly, we loved it and cannot wait for more.
