Golfo Dulce Region, 12/14/2017, National Geographic Quest

Aboard the National Geographic Quest
Costa Rica, Panama & Colombia

Today we continued to explore the Golfo Dulce region. In the morning we had the opportunity to explore the region of Golfito with our Zodiacs, and there we found several bird species and of course everyone's favorite rain forest animal, the capuchin monkey. Later in the day we had an entire botanical garden just for us to enjoy with plenty of flowers, fruits, and birds and plenty of time to perfect our photography skills alongside experts including National Geographic photographer Kike Calvo.
