Costa Rica 2009 - Central Pacific Coast

Nine days split between Hatillo and Manuel Antonio with an overnight stay at Buena Vista Ranch above Dominical on the way to the Osa Peninsula. Great accommodations and lots of wildlife right at the villas. We hiked in to Nauyaca falls again, and also took an excursion to Cano Island and saw Humpback whales. We finished the trip in Tarcoles near Jaco. Beautiful sunsets and a quiet beach with the crocodiles of the Tarcoles river right down the road.
