My little sister, Jessi, in front of the waterfall.
La Catarata de la Fortuna is a waterfall that falls from a height of 70 meters. To get there we enjoyed a long horse ride through the jungle. To get closer we hike down several "set of stairs". The stairs were made of rugged rocks so i put "stairs" in quotation marks.
In fact to Prepare for a trip to Costa Rica I would recommend hitting the gym. Specificaly the stair master and some weights for the upper torso. The hike to see the waterfall in La fortuna left me winded and that was the way down! Stronger arms might of helped my confidence during the zip lining. And of course strong arms are needed for white water rafting and repelling.
Highlights of the trip include;
- spotting a sting ray on the boatride to Tortuga Island in the Nicoya Peninsula region on the West coast of Costa Rica
- The banana boat ride at Tortuga Island in the Nicoya Peninsula region on the West coast of Costa Rica
- playing volleyball on the beach
- Seeing a rufus hummingbird
- Lots of pretty colorful butterflies
- Baldi hotsprings
- A big butterful moth in the changing room
- Close up view and feel of the waterfall at La fortuna
My Dad's most favorite part of the trip
1. Going to bed and waking up in the same room. He said it reminded him of when we were little girls and all sleep in one room.
2. Riding the banana boat. He said specifically watching me stand up on the float and jump up and down. He said the boat driver was laughing so hard, my dad thought he was going to pee his pants.
