Nachdem wir die letzten Pistenkilometer geschafft hatten, erwartete uns eine traumhafte grüne Oase mitten im Dschungel und doch nur ca 400m vom einsamen Pazifikstrand entfernt. Die Stille, unterlegt vom Meeresrauschen, dem nächtlichen Gebrüll der Brüllaffen und dem Ruf der Vögel, sowie die beeindruckenden Tierbeobachtungen machten den Aufenthalt zu einem unvergesslichen Naturabenteuer. In der Umgebung befinden sich zahlreiche wunderschöne Strandabschnitte, die v.a. bei Surfern beliebt sind. Mit Rainer hatten wir viele intensive Gespräche und haben gute Einblicke und Tipps erhalten (danke dir dafür). Sein Team hat uns wunderbar bekocht. Zuletzt ist noch der große Pool zu erwähnen, den wir ganz für uns alleine hatten. Alles in allem: Pura Vida!
