The white spots you see on the side of the volcao are lava rocks
This is the active side
A Sky Tram Named Desire
More lava, but at a higher elevation
This is the Arenal Lake, which is man made. They get a lot of their electricity from it and also from wind turbines they put in it
Vegetation in a butterfly garden
Old Timer
This is what many of the walking paths looked like, if you were lucky, as it reduced the mud effect
Green
Hanging Bridge
The lighting was frequently tough on this trip. So, I tried to saturate this shot to give you a better flavor for the color
Look, ants!
Those are not flowers, the flowrs are inside - haven't blossomed yet. They are often pollenated by hummingbirds and snakes hide there, waiting for them.

Watch Out for that Tree! (That's a zipliner heading through.)
Lots of Clouds
The patterns of the back of these guys make up an owl face and snake faces on the edges of the wings to scare off predators. Again, my lighting was horrible.
