Keep you're head up when hiking in the jungle near the Arenal Volcano! You want to see the vipers hanging from the trees, but you can also see the symbiotic relationship that happens here in the jungle. Never miss out on an #adventure!
One of the best parts about the #adventure to Costa Rica and staying in an eco Lodge was learning about the history of the land, and the use of living fence posts!
