Guaria Morada and other orchids of Costa Rica

 

Costa Rica is famous for its more than 1400 species of orchids. Some are small, some large, many are quite showy. The Southern Nicoya Peninsula area is composed mainly of dry forest, most of which was chopped down in the early 20's and 30's, wreaking havoc on the flora and fauna of the area. Costa Rica has an astonishing number of plants, and people are drawn from all over the world to see the beautiful flowers that grow here.  

Of special interest to many are the numerous varieties of orchids.  In fact, Costa Rica has over Thirteen Hundred species of orchids.The best time of the year for orchids in Costa Rica in the wild is just as the rainy season is starting up with the first scant rains. Many of the orchids in nature are triggered into their blooming cycle at that time.

Bungee jumping at Monteverde EXTREME

Bungee Jumping at Monteverde is a extreme experience. Besides the famous ziplinning (Canopy) through the cloud forest, there is also bungee jumping to the cloud forest. I came to Costa Rica an this is the best tour I have ever done in the country. I came with http://www.bananaadventuretours.com, a travel agency located in Costa Rica.

Monteverde extreme canopy has one of the most beautiful views of the area, that can be observed during the tour.To reach the major heights, mix the extreme adventure together with the majestic. And admire the rich natural beauty of the forest and its treasures. You will feel exciting emotions when doing the big tarzan swing, the giant rappel, and feeling fantastic distance of each one of the cable. Which reaches up to 2550 feet long and 450 feet height.
