Re: [Paddlewise] Costa Rica Pacific Coast Kayaking

I was actually in this area back in the early nineties. I went with a
kayaking friend (originally a client) although we didn't do any kayaking -
we she booked us on a
a "package" and we flew into Gulfito, then further to the coast and stayed
at the Corcovado Lodge (I  think). We made the reservations  through a
friend who was running the rafting program for Costa Rica Expeditions. It
was really one of the most beautiful places I've ever been and I'd love to
spend more time there. More untouched than  the rest of the country. They
say it has the highest percentage of parks but....

We did, btw, take a rafting trip with the company and also booked
ourselves on a van tour to a volcano. The guide turned out to be the head
of eco-tourism and a great naturalist - we learned alot about plants as
landing pads for insects and cool things about bromiliads. It was great
seeing things from "the other side!"

In addition we ran into some people doing the annual bird count and got to
go to another remote area.
