In Puntarenas Costa Rica we took a mangrove forest river trip with the hope of see some of the famous Costa Rican wildlife. We were not disappointed. During the two-hour cruise we saw lots of birds, crocodiles, and iguana. We were even fortunate to spot a gorgeous macaw bird. Valerie, who is an avid birder, added 7 new birds to her life list! Besides the wildlife, we were not overly impressed with Costa Rica. What was most noticeable was the fact that virtually every house and business was surrounded by a wall topped with razor wire. While we did see lots of really nice looking eco resorts we did not get the feeling that was a particularly safe area.

Not the place to go for a swim
