Days 7-9 – Days at Sea, Quepos Mangrove Cruise and the Rainmaker Forest

Day 7 was a leisurely day at sea. I attended two lectures – “Darien: A look at the past of this legendary region” and “Costa Rica – Wild and Green”.

Day 8, in contrast, was active and started with a mangrove cruise in the morning in Quepos. I got great pictures of a capuchin monkey and a few photos of herons and sandpipers.

We went back to the ship for lunch and then returned to Quepos in the afternoon for a hike through the Rainmaker Forest.

Day 9 was a leisurely day and our last day on the ship. I watched a documentary “The Wildlife of Costa Rica”. We enjoyed a Farewell Cocktail Party and Dinner in the evening.
