Yesterday we made our way up into the mountains just side Santa Ana. We drove to the top and then hiked around the peaks and the forests for around two hours. It was fairly ch
illy and the wind currents blew hard over certain parts of the mountain. In fact, when we first got out to the vehicles we all had to duck behind them in order to even put on our jackets. Don Jorge pointed out a variety of species and noted some of the ongoing reforestation efforts occurring in Costa Rica's forests. Our hike concluded with a steep trek down the hillside to Don Jorge's second home in the mountains (pictured below) where he keeps an assortment of Pre-Columbian art. We passed the time there eating comida tipica, drinking coffee, enjoying the beautiful vistas from the balcony, and exploring our surroundings. After an hour or so of relaxation at Don Jorge's place our drivers returned to bring us back down the mountain. Along the way we caught our a glimpse of a 5-6 foot long boa constrictor slithering its way off the mountain road back into the forests. I would have liked to have jumped out and snagged a photo but I was locked in the trunk of our jeep on the way home. More pictures to come soon as well, so keep checking updated posts for new photos.
