We enjoyed a ride along an old rail route formerly used for commercial traffic. The tracks run past a number of small communities. Folks will wave at the train as it passes their back yards. At the end of the trip, we bussed to a dock where we were escorted on a mangrove tour, seeing exotic birds and wildlife along the way.

Take a shore excursion here as it is quite a run down place. We visited the Central Valley where all the coffee plantations are and the scenery changes to one that is very lush and green -coffee plantation tour was very interesting. Also visited village where the vibrantly decorated oxcarts are made

The port we stopped at was Puntarenas. We were bused up a narrow dirt road, (reminded me of Romancing the Stone) to a culture center where we were treated to fresh fruit. Than they put on a story dance about CR. Had a buffet lunch😋really good. Iguanas, wild birds all around. What a treat.
