Rios y Parques

Saturday started off a bit bumpy but got a whole lot better. We had signed up for an all day white water rafting trip with Iguana Tours but when we got to the office they informed us that our reservations had been cancelled. The problem was that we booked the excursion through our school and so did one of the other students. Well, he decided to go to Monte Verde this past weekend, so when the school called Iguana to cancel his reservation they also cancelled ours by mistake. They didn´t have any more room for us to add to the full day trip that we were supposed to be on, but they did have 2 spots available for us on the 1/2 day trip. So we joined that excursion and had a great time.

After the white water rafting we went to Manuel Antonio National Park. It has a $7 entrance fee and then we paid an extra $25 each for a guide, which seemed a bit expensive at the time but proved to be very helpful and almost imperative for fully enjoyment of what the park has to offer. Our tour was in Spanish and English because we were teamed up with a couple from Argentina, which helped us to use our Spanish even more. We saw monkeys, iguanas, sloths, some very cool & interesting plant life and many other creatures.
