Turrialba
Ready for some fun on the Rio Pacuare
Waiting to get into our raft
Pumping it up
Calm to begin
Then the rapids begin - J and P at the back of the raft
Woohoo
Keep paddling
So much fun
We pass lovely waterfalls
Here we come again
Trying to stand up
Harder than it looks
River flows though virgin rainforest
Close to the gorge wall
Stunning scenery
You can just see us going down this rapid
We pass indigenous homes
Us again....can we make it?
Paddle, paddle, paddle
Woohoo
Brilliant fun
28km of scenic rafting
Beautiful narrow gorge
We jumped in and floated through the gorge
Pulling the raft out at the end - what a shame it's over
Off to get into dry clothes
Volcan Turrialba
Monumento Nacional Arqueologico Guayabo
Circular stone bases remain - they would have had conical roofs
Surrounded by forest - only a small part has been excavated
Steps up to one of two entrances in the central dwelling
Underground aqueducts to holding pool
A further aqueduct leads to a tank of potable water
Square stone bases indicate the guard houses
Monolith - jaguar on one side
Alligator on the other side
Tomb
Jesus Christ plant
Red underneath and white on top
Blue dragonfly
