Day 6 - MVHS Costa Rica

Today, after breakfast, we loaded up on the bus and headed off to Manuel Antonio National Park. When we got to the entrance of the park, we checked in and began our hike. It took around 20 minutes and along the way we saw animals such as crabs, iguanas, an armadillo, and even a mother sloth with it’s baby. On the hike we also learned about a lizard called the Jesus Christ lizard, this lizard gets it’s name because it can run on water. We spent a while on the beach and we all swam and had so much fun.

After we were all done on the beach we hiked back on a different trail to the bus and saw many tribes of red ants. When we got out of the national park, many of us tried fresh coconut water right out of the coconut. Then we all got onto the bus to go back to the hotel for some lunch.

When we got back from the national park we all ate and then we all did our own thing. Some of us went shopping while others went swimming at the beach or pool. Later on that evening after dinner most of us went shopping to close up our incredible trip. Those of us that stayed at the hotel enjoyed a live mariachi band from the pool.

Though we are all sad to leave, we all had an amazing cultural trip with an amazing tour guide and of course our bus driver. On behalf of all the Chamber Singers thank you to everyone for making this happen!!

We are now all patiently waiting for our flight at the San Jose airport and enjoyed a wonderful time here in Costa Rica!
