Day 12: Laguna de Lagarto Lodge and Ruta 138 / Upala - Caño Negro - Los Chiles

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

The day is again divided into traveling and enjoying the food at lunch.

The area is fun to drive through because the guide has a good nose for where to stop. And often there appears to be more than he first saw. He first saw a heron that was new to me, but then he hears a small rail and another seekeater. All new species.

The resort is nice for birdwatchers. Good food for people, a large beautiful garden, with new species as in most places. We see a gray falcon, several curassows and another toucan. It is spacious, and as one of the bird photographers says you can take pictures with a quiet background.
