National Geographic Quest anchored in front of Coco Beach early this morning, and from there we all took motor coaches to reach Hacienda Guachipelin. This is one of the biggest areas in the region to see cowboys, named “Sabaneros,” and was also the location for our ziplining, hot springs, and nature walks for the day.
Our guest all had to deal with rain during the activities, but everyone approached the weather with a perfect expedition mentality. We had lots of smiles and laughs thanks to the wildlife sightings of white-faced monkeys, motmot birds, and iguanas, and also the feeling of trying something new, like ziplining through a canyon in the tropical dry forest.
In the middle of all that, we all enjoyed the most Costa Rican lunch of the trip, as well as the performance of dancers with their national costume.
