Today, National Geographic Quest stayed in the oldest region of Costa Rica, the famous Santa Elena Bay, located in the conservation area of Guanacaste.
In the morning we all boarded “pangas,” small local boats used to explore and admire the rock formations and geologic history of the country. After that, we challenged our guests with a nature walk inside the tropical “dry forest,” this time with a heavy rain in between. We had a lot of laughs and joy from everybody, as we found the trails flooded and the “dry” forest very “wet.” In the afternoon, our guests divided into groups for kayaking, Zodiac rides, and a power walk. In the end, it didn’t matter which of the options guests picked because they were all amazing. Whether watching an American crocodile from a kayak, spotting a bat falcon sitting in the Zodiac, or watching the white-faced monkeys while walking under the rain, this afternoon we were all winners on this journey.
