day 6: corcovado national park
we hiked all day through the southwest corner of the park, which is to say not very much of the park at all. maybe if this goddamn rainforest wasn’t so big and biodiverse and there weren’t so many TREES everywhere it would be easier. man, if they just fucking paved this thing we could make it across it in no time. instead, we saw:
- (sleeping) bats
- silky anteater
- sleeping raccoon (see? i told you we were out too early.)
- white faced monkey
- gulfo dulce anole
- coconut filled crabs. actually, a coconut filled with crabs. which were, i guess, filled with coconut. so i really mean: coconut filled crab filled coconut.
- baby boa constrictor.
- and a bunch of stuff we already saw. you do realize i’m just naming the new stuff, right? otherwise we’d be here FOREVER.
i have to admit that i was amused by the fact that during our night hike, as we tromped through the jungle in search of dangerous poisonous snakes, while we carefully trod step by step wearing hiking boot and long pants, our guide was wearing shorts and crocs.
