Panama Canal Cruise - Day 7 - Puerto Caldera, Costa Rica

Our first port of call on the Pacific side was Puerto Caldera, Costa Rica. Today's tour was a Tropical Train and Riverboat Ride.

We board the train to begin our tour.

The interior was lined with some beautiful wood and the seats were comfy, too.

Entering our first tunnel.

We passed under a tree loaded with Howler Monkeys who were singing for us (well, probably yelling at us).

Some local children came out to see us as we rode by.

We then left the train and headed out for the boat ride.

The wood that they commonly use for fence posts take root and eventually grow into trees.

I love the interesting trees.

We then stopped for snacks (with yummy fresh pineapple) before boarding the river boat.

Here comes our boat.

The riverboat tour was a lot like boating the lakes and canals of central Florida.

That large black blob is actually a termite nest - quite common in this area.
