Rain Forests of Costa Rica “Nature’s Treasure” Posted: 09 Jan 2015 07:13 PM PST Visit the Rainforest of Costa Rica-"Nature's Treasures" As you walk into the rainforest remember you are a guest. Hundreds of creatures live here. This is their home. The monkeys. White face monkeys and black howler monkeys inhabit Costa Rica's rain forests. They will peer down at you from the very top of the trees. They will actually stare at you for a long period of time. You are a stranger to them. Respect and be kind to them. Don't feed them. They take their nourishment from the rain forests. Snakes-most people run and scream when seeing a snake, but remember you are in their territory. So quietly step back and take a path around them. If you don't bother them, they won't bother you. Spiders-these are harder to see in the rainforest. Best to take a naturalist guide with you. He will spot spiders before you do and advise you to avoid them. The rain forest has several species of tarantulas and they are big. Most people are terrified at the sight of a tarantula! They live in big holes..so just keep your eyes open. Big trees hundreds of years old..are found in Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve and Corcovado National Park. Also I have seen some in Rincon de la Vieja National Park. These trees are nature's treasures. And are named "primary rain forest." "Secondary Rain forest" have had it's trees cut and what you see is the secondary growths. The trees are smaller. Birds- hundreds of species of colorful birds. Best to take a trained bird guide with you when you venture into the rainforest to look for birds, because birds can be very elusive. The sounds of these birds create a symphony of beautiful sounds, esp in the early morning-immediately after sunrise. Follow the Rhythm of Nature "Rise with the Sun and retire with the Sun" Everything in nature is more beautiful in the early morning and also in the late afternoons when the sun is setting. Take from from the natural earth only what is needed. And no more.
