Hammocking it Carribean Style in Costa Rica

After a beautiful boat ride from Bocas back to the mainland, we crossed the bridge over the river between Panama and Costa Rica, zig-zagging between the many holes in the bridge, easily big enough for a backpacker to fall through them down into the river.

In the Carribean beach town of Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, we slept for 4 nights in a hammock in Rocking J´s Hostel. One day, we rented a bike and cycled to some nearby beaches, another day, we made an excursion to nearby National Park Cahuita, where we saw (and heard) howler monkeys and sloths.
