A first taste of Costa Rica

Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio is about a 3.5 hour drive over the mountains and down the coast from San Jose. This was our first foray outside the city and quickly showed us the "real" Costa Rica.

The park is really small, but densely populated with a massive diversity of wildlife, including the endangered Mono Titi (Squirrel Monkey). We took 2 short hikes through the edge of the park and saw close to 20 species in the first hour.

I'm a bit rusty with the old camera after 12 weeks without using it, but I managed to get close enough to a few of the local critters for some shots.
