More in Corcovado and La Leona


While hiking in Corcovado, we also came to this great spot that looked like rain forest snow. It was just the petals of a tree that had fallen, but it made a beautiful backdrop.



We stayed at an eco-lodge called La Leona. Everythign in the area was way too expensive for what was offered, but the place was a nice one to stay at. We had a 'tent' which was basically a room covered by a tent, but with two beds inside. The beach was right outside and so we heard the great sounds of the ocean all night as we slept. There were also hikes up around the lodge with some nice views. The really great thing about the lodge was that it was out in the middle of nowhere. They didn't have phone service and you had to hike on the beach to even get there. The only way that they could get things to their lodge would be to take a horse and buggy on the beach back to the stop where the collectivo comes to deliver goods. It's a different life out there, but so nice and relaxing.



We also had great sunset views both nights that we were there. The first night had the most amazing sunset I've ever seen, but we didn't have our cameras out that night. These pictures from the second night show that it wasn't too bad either.
