Never smile at a crocodile

Of all the ecosystems in the world, Mangroves are one of the most spectacular to visit. Unfortunately they are quite a rare biome and can only be found in a handful of spots across the globe. Visitors to the Central American nation of Costa Rica are therefore fortunate that they can visit them on the countries Pacific coast. Just outside the beach town of Tamarindo you can take a boat ride along this primordial areas and get the chance to catch a vast array of wildlife that lives here from the birds sweeping across the tree line to the sounds of howler monkeys and of course the crocodiles lurking amongst the swamps #voyagevibes #costarica

Peaceful few hours out

I can’t help but think that the monkey park gets the experience it provides spot on. We were probably there for an hour in total, which was perfect and didn’t leave us lugging around in the heat for too long. Plenty to do and look at in the park without being too expansive or exhaustive. €10 pp for entry is brilliant for the experience provided, and I must assume this as one of the best excursions available on the island in terms of value for money. A further €3 for animal food made the experience greater for my partner, who was extremely excited to be able to feed the monkeys personally, as well as the lemurs, some tortoise, and guinea pigs. Little to no queueing allows you to enjoy the experience that bit extra also, so kudos for that. #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes
