Looking forward to an interesting experience at the Santa Elena Cloud Forest Reserve in Monteverde, Costa Rica. Getting there as early as we could, nature decided to put a spanner in the works and forgo the rain and clouds, clearly nature didn’t get our memo!

We still had a great time, the flora and fauna are amazing. While still no sign of the elusive Sloth, there were still plenty of crazy, exotic plants, insects, birds… and even a squirrel!

It’s not as hot here as La Fortuna, but the heat and humidity still pack a punch.

Our visit here is all to brief as the the coast, specifically Montezuma, is calling, a mere 6 hours away on some of the worst roads in the world (probably), in a mini bus with dubious suspension, and even more dubious air conditioning. Not sure how much more glamorous our adventure can become?

After a slightly crazy suggestion by me in the pub just after we bought our first house about 5 years ago that we should ‘just quit everything and go travelling for a year’ we got a bit more realistic (not least because of COVID) and eventually landed on 4 1/2 months in Central and South America. This website is the outcome of those musings down the pub and hopefully our ensuing adventures!
