Our experience at the ferreteria

What a wonderful start to what will surely be the trip of a lifetime! My group and I began our first warm morning in Heredia by enjoying our desayuno at the farmers market, or ferreteria. We were greeted by the smell of fresh fruit and vegetables, handmade tortillas and empanadas made with love. Our host mother treated to a delicious breakfast of empanadas with carne and a delicious jugo of watermelon and strawberries. With our bellies almost full, we still wanted to try the fresh and exotic fruit Costa Rica had to offer. We sampled papaya, mamones and avocado. It was a great experience and introduction to the diverse and delectable cuisine Costa Rica has to offer. It was simply farm fresh at its best. Make sure to visit a ferreteria when you have the chance with your host family. ¡Pura Vida!

Hola soy Olivia! Today was a day full of adventures! The day started early with breakfast at the hotel. With so little time and so much to do we headed out bright and early to Manuel Antonio National Park. After a short ride to the park, we separated into two groups and started our guided tours. My group was guided by Diego. Along the way we learned about the types of animals and plants that are in the forest. We were lucking enough to see white faced monkeys, crabs, and two and three fingered sloths. We also had time to spend at the beaches inside the park. A little later in the day, those who chose to go zip-lining had an amazing experience. We went through nine cables and a monkey drop. The monkey drop was was kinda scary in the beginning but definitely worth it. Once we got back to the hotel we had some down time and many of us we spending it at the pool.
