LaSelva Research Station

Thursday we departed San Jose to spend a night at La Selva Biological Research Station. La Selva is part of the Organization for Tropical Studies, which is a group of organizations devoted to the study of tropical rain forests. La Selva is the primary location for this organization and accomadates those wanting to study or observe and is located in the Atlantic lowlands of CR.

During our stay we were scheduled for two different walks. One for late afternoon/early evening and one for early morning. On the first walk we were lucky enough to see many poisonous Dart Frogs, wild pigs, birds, and many different insects. On the morning walk, we attempted to find one of the many poisonous snakes that call La Selva home. We were unsuccessful but the walk again, opened my eyes to the beauty and diversity located in Costa Rica. Pictures of some of our findings are to come!!
