Rainy Cloud Forests

A concrete path winding into a misty forest of tall, partially overgrown trees We had a bit of bad luck with the weather in Costa Rica, which annoyed us especially given the cost of living in the country. Not only were accommodations and entry to touristic attractions expensive even by European standards, basic food was almost not affordable either. And then we ended up not seeing anything of the volcanoes we visited due to weather conditions - although I did quite like the cloud forests we walked through.

A person walking a concrete bridge framed by vegetation to a concrete building in grey mist It gave us an opportunity to put our rain ponchos to good use and created an atmospheric scene for some nice photos.

At one point we took our swimwear to a series of beautiful natural pool leading up to a spectacular waterfall, only to enjoy the place under umbrellas again.
