La Fortuna
Well we arrived in San Jose at 7am and we desided there wasnt much we wanted to do or see here. So we hopped on a public bus headed for La Fortuna.
The Bus ride took a little over 5 hours by passing some beautiful landscapes. We thought about getting off and taking pictures but we didnt know when the next bus would be. So we stuck it out by taking pictures from are Bus window.
Well im sure your all asking why La Fortuna? Well it sisters one of the most Active Volcanos in all of Costa Rica. Let me tell you it was AMAZING.
We arrived intown about 1:00pm and ate lunch at a local pub.
Then found a hotel. We took showers because we were getting a little ripe.
We then spoke with a few locals... i use the word ¨spoke¨ losely. Are spanish isnt up to par.
Well they told us to leave for the Volcano today and then relax after in a Hot springs. So that was are plan. We did just that.
We took a tour bus up to the edge of the Rain forest and Hiked 2miles to the face of the Volcano. I cant find the words to describe the lushious beauty. It was So Amazing! We saw Birds and Monkeys on the way up. I took lots of pics and when i can i will up load them for you all to see.
Well we stopped at this perfect view point. Its was so incredible. we just waited and Watched the Valcano eurupt and spit up was looked to be pebble sized rocks but in all reality they were more like Small car sized bolders. The noise i will never forget. It made this train like sound.You know when a train starts to take off and that sound. chug a chug chug, as the train builds momentum. louder and louder the Volcano did this until it erupted spilling out Gases and rocks. It was breath taking to see this first hand. We stayed until the sun went down. There was a lake close by and we took advantage of that through the sunset. We took some Brilliant photos. Well We hiked back down to our bus that awaited us and the driver took us to the Most Amazing hot springs we have ever been to.
