Some more #TropicalVibes from #CostaRica. This is a white-nosed coati (cousin of the #Raccoon), a resident at the Sibu Wildlife Sanctuary. That cuteness tho! Hard not to go in for a snuggle.

ESCARABAJO DE PLATA
Costa Rica es un sueño para los amantes de los insectos.
Alrededor de 34,000 especies han sido identificadas dentro del país, y más se han ido descubriendo con el pasar del tiempo.
Algunos de los insectos de Costa Rica son tan fuera de lo normal que es necesario verlos para creer que en verdad existen.
Tal es el caso del “Escarabajo de Plata”, científicamente conocido como chrysina limbata, un insecto increíble
Costa Rica y su naturaleza extraordinaria

I think we can all agree Starbucks is pretentious, right? Given that, this is—hands down—the most pretentious Starbucks I've ever seen. The local grower that still uses a water-powered process that's over 100 years old was so much cooler. And the coffee kicked ass. #DokaCoffee #FTW

It's a furry basketball in a tree. No, wait, that's a juvenile 3-toed sloth. #sloth #puraVida #costaRica #rainforest
Poas Volcano. 1.5k hike (more like a paved path but Madre Mía arriba, arriba, arriba) to Laguna Bota. Cafe Umami for lunch and bought bougainvillea y canasta (flame vine) at the Vivero Santa Gertrudis. The altitude and ascent mixed with volcano gas and lunch have me stuffed. Brilliant morning. #puravida
Lovely lunch in Montezuma and now we've checked into our hotel in Santa Teresa. It's 34⁰C in the shade, across the street from the Pacific Ocean, and all I can think is I wish we had Ottawa temperatures. I might have to nap until it nears sunset.
Next up: night jungle walking tour.
On our way to our next destination, stopping for a break. Apparently, so is the wildlife.
