SmugMug > keywords > rica > The reception center of the Santa Juana Mountain station of Fincas Naturales Wildlife Refuge. The tour staff, usually a guide and a driver, take the tour passengers (usually 4 people max) to the station for refreshment after the hour-plus drive over some pretty rugged terrain and rocky roads. A two hour hike, some horse back riding, some relaxation and a nice lunch is also part of the tour. It's a very nice, laid-back but adventuresome experience. November 20, 2009. Canon SD850-IS
SmugMug > keywords > rica > A street view in busy, downtown Quepos, Costa Rica. Located on the Central Pacific coast region next to Manuel Antonio, Quepos is widely known as a sport-fishing town. A large fleet of charter boats are home-ported here. The town is actually a few feet below sea level located behind a large berm on which a railroad once operated during the era of banana plantations. Disease killed the banana industry years ago which was replaced by Palm Oil production. The town mostly depends upon the health of the tourism industry to keep itself thriving. November 11, 2009.

SmugMug > keywords > rica > View from the Fincas Juana Station reception center in the Santa Juana mountains, looking south towards Quepos and Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica. The station and a large surrounding tract of land (through which I was treated to a two-hour birding tour and hike) in these mountains is owned by the same wildlife refuge, Fincas Naturales Wildlife Refuge in Manuel Antonio across the street from the Hotel Si Como No. The Pacific Ocean and Manuel Antonio are barely visible in the distance.

SmugMug > keywords > rica > An example of a so-called "Infinity Pool" on the grounds of the apartment which my wife and I rented for a month in Manuel Antonio. Here's some excerpts from a Wikipedia definition, "An infinity edge pool ... is a swimming or reflecting pool which produces a visual effect of water extending to the horizon, vanishing, or extending to "infinity" ... The water spills into the catch basin, from where it is then pumped back into the pool. One type of location in which the effect is particularly impressive is where the infinity edge appears to merge with a larger body of water such as the ocean, with the sky (if the pool is located on the side of a hill or field of green), or with foliage (the example illustrated here)." At our pool pictured here, the visual effect was very pleasing to the eye. We felt like were we swimming in the jungle. To support that notion, we often just stood in the pool and watched the monkeys jumping around through the trees. Very cool indeed. The large palm leaves are those of the banana plant.
