    A shitty cell phone pic from Manuel Antonio National Park in Quepos, Costa Rica

    bonus:

    Saw this cool frog, took a picture, showed to this guy, and he was like “oh those are like super poisonous”

      They are poisonous because of their diet. We had them around where I grew up but they were not native and, without their natural diet, they were not poisonous.

      They’re extremely cute as froglets!

        It was wonderful. I got dental care while I was there and it was incredibly affordable and expertly done. Best healthcare system in Latin America and one of the better ones in the world.

        Some photos while driving. One of the downsides is driving in Costa Rica is an intense experience that I would not recommend. We got a deal where a car rental was only 50 cents a day if we added it onto our flight so it was like why not! They only had manual which was fine, I can drive that, but keep in mind because it also meant I had to do 100% of the driving as my partner is like most Americans and has no idea how to drive a manual. But when we picked it up the clerk was like “have you ever driven in Latin America before?” when I replied no he looked a little alarmed. It was challenging

        There was a sloth, these were actually really hard to find. Hide and seek champions, way up in the trees and blend in well.

        Monkeys however, were all over the damn place. They would unzip your backpack and steal your shit if you didn’t pay attention, apparently. We were also warned to not leave bags outside because raccoons would apparently also do this

    It really is a beautiful place, damned near miraculous. Too bad there are so many shitheads looking to ruin it for everyone else…

    Edit: added photo tax, let’s keep this going! Granted, not as glamorous as OP’s, but I love my native lands.

    Going for the long one here, but Carpenter Lake near Lillooet looking towards Seton Portage? Final answer for all the Lemmy currency.

      I’m very lucky to be able to do some exploring at this point in my life. Your time will come eventually and then it will be my turn to be envious.

    it used to be more beautiful, this is after all the industrialization polluting air and water.

    IIRC in germany 25% of trees are dying, due to one reason or another. You often see trees without any needles/leaves, and if they have, they are often grey-ish. It is rare to see a completely healthy forest, and yet if you do, it gives you a sense of what is the meaning of life. At least that’s how it is to me. Such a connection to nature.
