LaFortuna Waterfalls are a beautiful attraction in LaFortuna, Costa Rica. We took a taxi from town and then walked the 500 steps down....and then back up from the falls. It was such a beautiful day we decided to walk the 7 kilometers back to town. By the end we were exhausted, but it was another great adventure.

Sandy and I hiked the Hanging Bridges trail near Arenal volcano in LaFortuna, Costa Rica. It was an easy well maintained trail with a few moderately steep grades. The views were beautiful of the 'jungle' and of the Arenal volcano and lake.

One of our adventures while in Bocas was to take the chocolate farm tour at Green Acres. The owner of the plantation is the guide. He is a naturalist, cocoa farmer, chocolate producer and a sailor. It was a terrific experience. Music: Claude Vamur, Putumayo presents: Caribe, Caribe: Tre Dynion

On our trip to Panama, we saw the Panama canal from both the observation deck at Miraflores and from a boat tour through the locks. Fascinating! Music: Govi, Chuchama "Chili on Your Huevos"

Everywhere we went in Panama and Costa Rica there were beautiful flowers.....everywhere. This is just a fraction of what we enjoyed everyday!

Boquete is a beautiful mountain town nestled in a valley in eastern Panama. We took some beautiful pictures and video on a hike.

Our first adventure in Boquete was a hike up the pipeline trail that brings the natural spring water to the city for the drinking water. Our guide was an excellent naturalist and very interesting. Music: Ottmar Liebert, Nouveau Flamenco, Barcelona Nights / 3 Women Walking

One morning we rented a scooter so that we could explore the mountain roads around Boquete. Even though the roads were at times very steep, the incredible views made it worthwhile.

Boquete has one main drag. When we were planning our trip we didn't find much footage about the town. Hopefully, this video will help others as they plan. FYI - South of town is more arid. North of town is lushly forested.
