Last weekend my program's excursion was to Monteverde cloud forest. We took the bus out of the city and up into the mountains, sometimes on one-lane roads. But the views were beautiful!
We stayed at an amazing hotel, but unfortunately I didn't get to explore much of it because I was sick. The rooms were great though, with the most comfortable beds! I watched Ratatouille in Spanish and saw a piece about Colorado on the travel channel - imagine that! Plus each room had a balcony facing west for prime sunset views.
On Saturday afternoon a few friends and I took a stroll through the orchid garden up the hill from our rooms
where we saw great plant life and shockingly beautiful views.
On Sunday we went into the Monteverde National Park to do some hiking. There were so many people on the trails that we didn't see many animals, but it was amazing to be in such a green place!
We hiked to the continental divide, which runs through the park,
and went to an overlook where if you looked to the left you could see all the land that drains into the Atlantic Ocean,
and to the right to the Pacific.
Overall a wonderful weekend - I can't wait to get out of the city again!
