Costa Rica: Pura Vida!

I finally made it to Costa Rica!!  I have been waiting a long time for this.  My first stop was San Jose, only because it was really late getting in and I just wanted to get a hotel.  The city is not where I want to be. . . so the following morning I took the bus to Puerto Viejo to enjoy some more fun in the sun. 

Welcome to the jungle!!  Cahuita, is a little coastal town about 25 minutes north of Puerto Viejo where the jungle and the beach meet.  I have been waiting to see some real jungle. . . and while I didn´t find any jaguar, I was fortunate enough to see the elusive blue morpho butterfly. . . twice!  I also came across Capuchin monkeys and Howler monkeys.
