The introduction to tropical weather is in style: the schools are closed today because the government is afraid that the roads cannot handle the rain. But my guide thinks it is possible, we drive almost two hours to a higher mountain range where there are nature parks and entertainment. In normal weather, daredevils can float above the trees with a cable line. Now the waiting room is only a nice place to watch the birds that are attracted to bananas in particular. If it rains a little less hard, we will go to another park, now focused on nature. There is a trail of 300 meters on a concrete path with hummingbird feeders, ideal. There is also a 2.5 km walk, but in this weather it is a mud path. So I don't think about that. In addition to birds, they also have a butterfly house, where they show butterflies from the area and sell them to other organizations.
