There is an incredible tree outside of Santa Elena that I hiked to with three friends from the hostel where I stayed. What makes the tree so great is that some kind of parasitic vine type thing got to it and created a hollow center that you can climb up and up and up until you exit the trunk and are standing in a cluster of branches up in the tree tops. In my opinion this is way better than paying to walk on a suspension bridge in the tree - tops, especially after my friends headed back and I got a chance to journal up in the tree. Just as I was going to leave a beautiful toucan landed in a branch to my left, INCREDIBLE. It was one of the Kelle billed toucans with all the bright colors on it´s beak. I didn´t take any pictures of it, I was afraid of scaring it away. But I did take time for a shameless self-portrait photo shoot before climbing back down, enjoy!
It´s a long way down
Climbing up, view of the hole you climb through to get onto the branches
The tree!
