Hobbies Riley Coleman (Operational Excellence Analyst) decided to take a trip to Costa Rica over the month of June. He and some of his friends from college were looking to go there to commemorate the summer of 2025. They were looking to go on a cheap international trip and discovered Costa Rica is in its rainy season. About 2 days after the discussion, the group booked tickets to Costa Rica and began planning where they will stay and what they will do.
The next few days. The group visited Manuel Antonio National Park, where they had the opportunity to see hordes of monkeys, sloths, Costa Rican deer, and iguanas within arm's reach. It was a beautiful park, and they stayed until closing. After the park closed, the group took a private tour with a guide through the jungle at night in the rain. The trails were flooded so much that all of their shoes got sopping wet. During this jungle tour, they got the chance to see wild scorpions, tarantulas, sloths, bullfrogs, and Poison Dart Frogs. In this rainforest there also was a swinging bridge that was 148 feet tall. After the trek through the jungle, the group went back to the tin to relax. Thank you, Riley, for sharing your exciting experience with us! After the plane landed in San Jose, Riley and his friends landed they took a rental car to Jaco, CR, where they stayed on beachfront property. Over the many days they were there, Riley got to explore La Paz Zoo and Waterfalls. There were 5 waterfalls in the zoo which had a trail that led up to it. In the zoo, they got to see up close capuchin monkeys (the same monkey from the Night at the Museum), Jaguars, sloths, Toucans, and Scarlet Macaws. His favorite animal was the Scarlet Macaw, which is one of the most common birds found in Costa Rica. A Scarlett Macaw has red, yellow and blue plumage and is known for its big personality.
