Hiking in Pico Bonito National Park











Here's some snaps of us taking a hike up the Pico Bonito mountain trail to a beautiful waterfall. We decided to tackle the trail just the two of us and it was a brilliant hike despite the rain and we did it in a speedy 3 hours. En route to the waterfall was pretty steep but with lots of pretty streams and swim holes on the way. We didn't see too much wildlife though - only a few stalks and herons, big butterflies and a massive spider that landed on my leg.

We did spot this beautiful Macaw though in the park a few days before, he was totally unphased. I've been reading a book on the fate of the Macaws in Central America, so I was pretty excited to see him!
