Los Quetzales!!

On our way back to Montezuma from the Osa Peninsula we went to the mountains to this place called Mirador de Los Quetzales. So basically you spend the night in a cabin and then get up early in the morning to have a hot drink and then walk around and look for quetzals. A quetzal is a rare bird that only lives in the Central American mountain ranges. During our time on the Osa Peninsula we met quite a few people that went up in the mountains near Monteverde to look for quetzals and didn't see any. Luckily, we saw some.

Campanario!!!

On Christmas day, we had to wake up at 5:00am so that we could drive all the way to the Osa Penninsula which is more than 200 kilometers away. We left our house at 7:00am and, after a short ferry ride and a long drive down the coast, we finally made it to our final destination in the town of Sierpe around threeish. In Sierpe we met up our friends from the US that we hadn't seen in four months! The next day we had to wake up at 5:00am AGAIN so that we could eat breakfast and then get on a boat at six that would take us to Campanario. The boat trip was two HOURS long, but it was kind of neat because you go down the Río Terrabà and out into the ocean.
