24<\/span>th<\/span>.January, <\/span>Cara Blanca Trail<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

I set out in the mor<\/span>ning <\/span>on my own to explore one of the remaining trails and was fortunate to see the Jesus Christ lizard, which is able to run on water to escape predators. Particularly the juveniles <\/span>which<\/span> have a more distinct stripe down their backs are able to perform this feat. They are also known as Basilisk Lizards of which there is also a bright green species.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The trail leads through the forest to two small waterfalls with pools which are deep enough to cool down in, but not for swimming, although a strong shower can easily be had.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I had been hoping to see some <\/span>more <\/span>monkeys <\/span>of species I had not yet seen <\/span>on the <\/span>trail<\/span> but none were forthcoming. When I explained this to one of the staff at lunchtime, she looked over the side of the veranda and immediately discovered some squirrel monkeys! I just <\/span>had time before they disappeared to<\/span> take picture<\/span>, one of a head without a body and one of a body without a head, the rest being hidden in the leaves.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In the afte<\/span>r<\/span>noon after a rest by the pool I walked down to the <\/span>beach again just before sunset, noting the face carved on a tree stump which marks the end of the path to the beach. I had had difficulty in finding this on my first day having come down a different way. N<\/span>ow I had been on practically all the available tra<\/span>il<\/span>s except the river walk which I then booked with a guide for the next day.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
