We had a day in Puntarenas in Costa Rica so decided to see
some of the spectacular wildlife! We joined a group recommended for this
purpose but it was like a game of Where’s Wally.
After a long drive we boarded an Ecotourist boat for a trip
through the mangroves. On the way we did see a few birds including the
spectacular Red Macaw. On the cruise there was little to be seen with an
occasional sighting of waterbirds, crabs and crocs. Perhaps the twin 115 hp
motors and the high speed legs just might have something to do with it! I have
enlarged the wildlife to make this activity a little easier for you.

Where’s Wally the Blue Heron?

Where’s Wally the White Ibis?
Where’s Wally the Croc?
Our other planned sightings were on a restored leg of the
coastal Railroad built to take coffee to the port. It was an interesting ride
past the backs of houses with a few dogs, pigs and even more kids.
