why we work -- travel -- costa rica

	Tortuguero is on the northeast Caribbean coast of Costa Rica and is where all Atlantic Green Sea Turtles lay their eggs each year. In addition to a late-night turtle-viewing expedition, highlights in Tortuguero included waking up to the roar of howler monkeys, exploring the canals of Tortuguero national park, and our table mates.
	Corcovado is on the southwest Pacific coast of Costa Rica. We flew in a 4-seater charter plane, landed on a grass airstrip, and hiked along the beach for 45 minutes. The trek was SO worth it - more monkeys than coatimundis than we could count and you can't beat the ever-present sound of the rumbling surf!
	Located 4,600 feet above sea level, Monteverde was a welcome break from the heat and humidity. Highlights include hiking in the cloud forest, troops of white faced monkeys at the hotel, our first sloth sighting, and a horseback ride with a stop to see monkeys that jumped out of the trees onto our heads and shoulders!
	Manuel Antonio is located on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, just south of Quepos. Although not nearly as remote as our other stops, it was a great place to regroup before our flight home. Highlights in Manuel Antonio include a great guided tour of the national park, dozens of sloth sightings, and spectacular sunsets.
