We headed to a cooler climate again and stayed in another cloud forest. This time in the San Geradon de Dota area which is about 80km south of San Jose. The area is famous as a place to spot Quetzals (which we did). We were at 2500m which made for a lot of puffing and panting when walking anywhere. The scenery was beautiful though so the helped. Tana and I did find a better way to conquer the hills when we went for a horse trek.
Each night we walked uphill (I know but it was worth it) to a local soda/restaurant that was run by this sweet little lady who always made sure she came out so say hi. As soon as we sat down we got juice and salad, and from there the plates kept coming until the table was full with beans, rice, veges, plantains (savoury banana), and a variety of meats including local trout. Just when we thought we couldn't fit anything else desert would be brought out which was stewed fruit, cake or biscuits and hot chocolate. Yum!

An excuse to stop when Tana and I went on a 6.5km walk. The first half down hill was fine, but I whinged all the way back up.
The famous Quetzal
The trees have plants growing all over them.
