Arrived at Destination Costa Rica
By Steve Winter
Posted Aug 6,2007

What a day! Alan, Tom Zeller from NGM and I flew from Newark to San Jose, Costa Rica, and hit the ground running.  We jumped into a rented 4x4 and headed off to meet the jaguar team, Kathy Marieb and Roberto Salom, in eastern Costa Rica. We drove through one of the most beautiful rainforests in Costa Rica, Braulio Carrillo National Park—a perennially wet, unbelievably green landscape—and it was, or course, raining frogs and monkeys (the CR equivalent of cats and dogs.) The windy “highway” that runs through the park is the main road to the east coast; we followed it to an area about 40 miles west of the Caribbean town of Limon. We spent the rest of the day getting up to speed with the team and getting ready to leave the next day.
