TRANSCRIPT
Good morning you guys, welcome to another Mytanfeet video. Today we are here with Randall our friend who is an excellent naturalist guide and he's going to take us on a rainforest walk in Bijagua.
Bijagua is a small town in the Alajuela province, just 87 kilometers or 54 miles from Liberia International Airport.
This area is famous for its rainforest and nature, so for our day trip, Randall took us to the Heliconias Rainforest Lodge private reserve to walk through their protected primary rainforest.
The trail is 2.2 kilometers and normally it'll take us between 2 and 2 and a half hours depending on what we see. We pass through 3 hanging bridges, this is great because it gives us an excellent point to appreciate the canopy and the forest itself from a different perspective and point.
Having a guide take us through the tropical rainforest was an amazing experience. Randall shared with us interesting facts about the rainforest and why its so important to conserve, respect and protect nature. He also pointed out the many animals hiding in the trees like snakes, insects and birds.
So whenever you're with a guide who is really into birds or a birder, you know he always has his book and he'll show which one it is and this is what we're always looking at when we're not walking. We have to see, we have to know what we saw.
What book is that one? The Birds of Costa Rica.
And we also got to see one of our favorite reptiles of Costa Rica.
Now that is a beautiful animal!
After our hanging bridges walk, we headed to another reserve in Bijagua to see an animal that Costa Rica is very well known for. Sloths.
We are now on this second trail and the main reason we are here is to look for sloths. It's a very small family owned reserve. We can find two species of sloths here, the three toed and two toed sloths. Thanks to small projects like these, family owned, is that we have chances to see these animals in their natural habitats. In this nature serve, it's surrounded by human activity such as farming and cattle farming so it works like a small sanctuary to these types of species.
That was our day in Bijagua, Randall thank you so much for taking us we had such a great time because this is rainforest, completely different from where we live so in only a couple of hours we can experience this beautiful nature and rainforest.
Thank you you guys for visiting it's been a pleasure for me too.
