Tomorrow I leave early for a short flight to Golfito in the south of Costa Rica for a week at Esquinas Rainforest Lodge in the Piedras Blancas National Park,one of Costa Rica‘s birding hot-spots. And note that they only have Wifi in their main building, so my posts could be limited or certainly my correspondence will be. Part of being in the jungle! 🙂
I live to the left of San Jose. Nothing is terribly far within Costa Rica! It will be a 30 minute flight and a 25 minute drive from Golfito Airport. Costa Rica is the same square miles as West Virginia in size as a comparison for Americans.
AND ZOOMING IN ON THE AREA:
Notice it is across the big Gulf of Dulce from my favorite Corcovado NP. And my last visit there was to Danta Corcovado Lodge about where the capital P is located in the park name, Corcovado NP. I flew to Puerto Jimenez for that.
Charlie – Have fun on your adventure. As you might recall, we loved Esquinas Rainforest Lodge when we spent a short time there on our birding adventure in August 2017. Lots of great birds and beautiful grounds.
Gracias Ed. I knew you were in that area and may have gotten the lodge name from you, but my old man brain doesn’t remember now. I’m looking forward to what they call a “birding hotspot” even if there during the rainiest month! 🙂 Still trying to cover the whole country. And I look forward to reading your report of Ecuador!
