We were picked up from our hotel shortly after 7.30 am to begin our journey to Monteverde.
The day was billed as 'Jeep-Boat-Jeep', but for each Jeep read 'Mini-Van'.
A 20 minute journey to the shore of Lake Arenal saw us board a small ferry boat that was to transport us across the lake.
Laguna de Arenal is a man made lake. The principal dam contains a hydro-electric plant that produces 40% of Costa Rica's electricity. Just 5% of the country's electricity is produced using fossil fuel, referee to as 'Dirty Electricity'.
The lake crossing saw many birds, including Ospreys and a Kingfisher.
We then took a very bunny and unlaced road, for a couple of hours, to Monteverde, where we are to stay for three nights. This afternoon was spent wandering around Santa Elena.
