Great photos! It would be great if you added your spotting to the "Reptiles of Costa Rica" mission:

hahaha !! Wellllll, you have to remember that my blood was used to 38 C... All is relative !!
OK Daniele. The folks that live there refer to this area as Alpine Cloud forest, they say it's the only one in CR, that's why I added it in. It is definitely different from the other cloud forests I have been to in CR. Freezing at night ! I needed 5 blankets and a hot water bottle... Peaches, apples and berries even grow there.
