Instead of doing 8 hours bus, we had the choice to take a jeep-boat-jeep trip a little bit more expensive but saving us at least 4 hours. They have apparently improved the road because it was a van-boat-van..less adventurous! Anyway the boat trip on the lake located just behind the volcano was beautiful. At our arrival in Monteverde, for the first time during this trip we were hunted by hostel manager looking for some customers. You could fell the law season smell! We end up in a nice hostel with view on the valley and Pacific!
We took then a guided night tour in the forest which was really cool. We saw a deadly snake, a poisonous frog, a tarantula (beuuuh) and finally a sloth with her baby! My favorite animal…you know, the one that goes very slowly and falls asleep all the time ;-)
