It is raining very heavily, so heavily that the Tarcoles River runs too fast for a boat trip. We wait a bit longer, but it keeps raining. So we go to the next stop, a very basic hotel at 2850m. There it is drizzling with 10-15 degrees, compared to the downpours with 25-30 degrees we came from. Their restaurant is not heated, we eat with warm clothes. But they do have a lot of birds on their feeders. Many of the species on the promise list are already being fulfilled on their small deck. You can approach the hummingbirds very closely, something for a 40-150mm lens, not for the 150-400mm lens.
