Visiting Puerto Caldera (Puntarenas)

Our next port was in Costa Rica.  The dock on the peninsula is called Puntarenas.

Our tour started right off the ship on the dock where we were picked up by a bus.

It was several miles up into the mountains.  We had some pretty views. It took 2 hours to get to the top.

One interesting thing about our drive is that we passed over the continental divide.

​The excursion/tour is a "Walk in the Clouds".
The walk will take us through lush forest and over several swinging bridges.  The jungle was overwhelming with waterfalls, giant trees, huge ferns.... everything seemed oversized.
Even the trail took us around unusual trees.
We saw an amazing number of unusual plants.
Orchids and other flowers.
The bromeliads were everywhere in the trees.
On one of the swinging bridges, I almost put my hand on a huge lizard.  It may have been a type of iguana.
Our last stop was near the beginning of the hike.  Fruit was set out for birds.  They were so colorful.
After returning from the hike, it was time for our lunch.  We have heard a lot of concerns about food in Central America and Mexico. We did not have a problem with any food we ate. Yea, because Montezuma’s revenge is no joke from what we have heard.
On the return to the ship, we stopped at a small store where bathrooms were available to us.  They had a lot of touristy things, but this did include free coffee and liqueur tastings. The building had little murals painted all over the outside wall. Behind the building was a garden.
Time to head out to sea.
