Dag 4: Naar de landvlakte bij Pacifische kust

Home Biota: what is it? Animals Plants Mammals Birds Insects NL EN

On the first day with the group we first have to leave the city of San Jose, and that takes a very long time. There are many cars, patient people and few main roads. It takes at least 2 hours to get out of the city. We first go to the hill area near San Jose known as the University of La Paz, where the guide finds a pair of Barred Antshrike. And of course butterflies and hummingbirds. The butterflies are a profession in their own right, so they are not in the post at the moment. Then continue through roads to the coastal plain. By Dutch standards it is rougher than Limburg, but it is under 100 meters. The hotel garden is home to regular macaws, the large birds that are often seen in the zoo. We will also come and have a look tonight, but apparently the bananas are not to thei liking.
