Sky walking and wild life in Costa Rica.

A sky walk is an amazing adventure. Typically, Sky walks are located in different rain forests and the most biodiverse regions of Costa Rica.

Our tour started in Villa Lapas Reserve, a 400 acre private reserve, we hiked along a 2.5 mile trail which included a series of five suspended bridges. At a height of 70 feet about the forest floor these bridges offer a perfect view of the canopy’s flora and fauna, while providing the added benefit of least disturbance to the creatures of the forest.

I love these sky bridges!!

After the lunch our adventure continued on a boat along the Tárcoles river which winds through Costa Rica's Central Pacific region before emptying into the Pacific Ocean.

Not hungry any more, a big catch

Its watershed provides a crucial habitat for a number of species (the most notable of which is the American crocodile), and although the river is somewhat polluted, it is significant for the country's residents, as nearly 60% of Costa Rica's total population lives along its basins.

Crocs are everywhere

The Tarcoles river is also famous for its abundance of American crocodiles. It's said that the Tárcoles River has one of the highest populations of crocodiles in the entire world - 25 crocodiles per square kilometer. Several tour operators take advantage of this fact by offering river tours that guarantee croc sightings.

The beautiful mangroves

Among the lush pacific coast mangroves we saw such wonders as scarlet macaws, howler monkeys and several other species of tropical birds the names of which I couldn’t remember.

This tour is a wonderful way to experience a variety of Costa Rica’s nature and wildlife as well as the beauty of the country side.
