Cataratas La Paz

The day after the Canopy tours we got a group of 6 together to go to the Cataratas la Paz (Peace Waterfalls). It was expensive but so worth it. Besides the natural beauty there, this place was a fully developed resort and zoo with a serpentarium, butterfly....tarium.. and more!

I wanted to jump into the waterfall but I don't think I was allowed to so somebody stopped me....but next week when I go travelling to Limon I'm pretty sure there's a place where we can swim under and around some waterfalls so I'm psyched for that.

Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. There were flowers with blends of color, plants with leaves bigger than me, trees covered with 100+ species of other plants all surrounded by the thundering ambience from the waterfall and the mist enshrouding us all.

Double waterfall! The waterfall hit the bottom in a booming roar that made the water churn and bubble like a kraken's lair. I wouldn't want to swim near this one, I might die.

There are going to be more pictures on Facebook of the other stuff I saw in the animal cages, but I will share a few on here. This amazing bird is a kind of green toucan. 

Albino squirrel! I think one time I saw a negative albino squirrel at my house in Green Bay with bristly black hairs and blood-red eyes. This guy barely stood still for me to get the picture!

Love birds! Actually I think it was mommy and baby.

This is my pal Toucan Sam. He harvests fruit for me.

The main attraction! These guys were crazy, they were swinging on ropes and running around and playing raucously. It was great.

Oh wait, that was these guys. They also picked at each others butts as is obvious in the picture above.

There was a little area with about 30 of these feeders and like 8 types hummingbirds. They were flying around everywhere!

The master Boa. This guy is like a tube of muscle. I hope I don't meet any in my later travels that aren't behind glass....

So adorable! All of the wild cats were sleeping. I guess we came at naptime.

Of course we had to stop somewhere for lunch after, and this wouldn't be an Andrew blog without talking a little bit about the food I ate.

8 bucks for all this food! My drink was blended strawberries and milk. Bon apetit!
