Day 5 Costa Rica Overland Expedition

Woke up to an amazing sunrise on the coat after watching the total lunar eclipse in the pitch black cost of Bandera de Parrita (Caminos de Costa Rica). Focusing on the mountains we drove northwest to the highest viewpoint along the southwestern mountain ridge.

Once we entered the mountains it felt as we were in for an amazing adventure. The roads narrowed and becamevery steep (20-30 degrees). The views at the top were unforgettable

Staying in the mountains we proceed Northeastwards to Poas volcano (10k elevation) and watched the tropical foliage shift to subtropical ferns and spruce trees and a much cooler temperature. We were in the Bavaria of Costa Rica.

Sadly tomorrow we conclude this chapter; however, this provides the opportunity to explore another area.
