Four families, eight kids, all friends, decided to go to Costa Rica for the weather, animals, and waterfalls.
Day 1:
We landed in Costa Rica. Took a 3 hour drive to Manuel Antonio.
Day 2:
We went to Manuel Antonio National Park, which is known for its forest, beautiful animals, and white sand beach. We took a tour through the forest and saw many animals such as monkeys, sloths, and crabs.
Day 3:
We took a 6 mile hike to the Nauyaca Waterfall. At the bottom of the waterfall, there was a pond, where we swam. A lot of the kids were scared to go in the water because a woman had been bitten by a scorpion. Then we hiked some more, and ate some locally grown pineapples and watermelons. Then, we did a little swimming back at the hotel and ate. It was also the first time that I jumped from a small 10 foot cliff, so that was exciting.
Day 4:
We took the 3 hour trip to San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica.
Day 5:
We went to La Paz Waterfall and Zoo tour. The zoo had many unique animals including toucans, monkeys, sloths, butterflies, snakes, and jaguars.
Day 6:
We took the 2 hour drive to Arenal, where we rented a scooters to go to Arenal Lake. The kids stayed in the hot springs and pool.
Day 7:
Me and most of the kids when zip lining through the forests of Arenal. We were almost 1000 feet above the air and in the clouds with drizzling rain overlooking a nice canyon and lake.
