After a small rest for lunch we decided to check out some other paths through the reserve. The ticket is good for the whole day, so we planned another 2-3h hike.
We were all alone on small paths that were partially pretty steep and made aour way over a few small bridges to a view point from where one can see fromt he Gulf of Nicoya, which we just made out under the clouds to the central valley and volcanoes. Unfortunately you can see that the view in that direction was very much obstructed by clouds.
All in all we had great hiking weather, though. The forest grows so well because it's about 18°C here all year round with about the same high humidity level. We had a largely sunny and dry day, though, with nice warm temperatures. In a few places the fog made it dark and a bit spooky, though.
We passed over a hanging bridge a little below the canopy level. It was an amazing view but the bridge tended to swing a little bit and we had to take care not to fall. Look what a long way down it was! We also saw some plants that are often featured on postcard of Costa Rica because they look like kissing lips. All in all we had a great day.
Tomorrow we are going to catch another bus and make our way down to the beaches of Guanacaste. We heard it will be HOT!
