In Puntarenas, Costa Rica, we just pull up next to this jetty to disembark.
A wide shot of the facility where we end up.
We take a bus out for a ziplining tour: here is the equipment area for harnessing up.
Under the main shade area, where we will have lunch after ziplining.
These little cable cars take you up to the top of the rainforest.
Waiting in line for our turn. Sorry, there are no actual pictures of the ziplining, as it is
too dangerous to try to bring cameras or phones on the tour.
After the tour, we get a little nature tour through their garden area.
More native plants.
Here is a line of leaf-cutter ants taking their haul back to the nest.
They only harvest from a particular species of tree.
Our guide opening up a cacao pod...
...to show us what is inside.
When the local trees are healthy, they grow this white lichen on the bark.
A main attraction is the butterfly garden.
These local butterflies are huge. They are brown on the folder wings for camouflage.
They are a brilliant iridescent blue on the inner wings.
Some chrysalis where they are growing the next batch.
Some decorations back in the main area.
