Flying into Palamar Sur is an experience. There were six of us with quite a few bags and we flew on smaller planes this time (not our choice). So, we required two airplanes. We (Lisa, Rich and I) landed first in a Piper Navajo followed in this Lake by Bob, Linda & Jackie.
|
Our approach to touchdown at Palamar Sur - No,
that is not a driveway, it is a runway!
|
 |
 |
Linda checks out the plane after a successful trip. Big sigh of relief! |
|
Unloading at the airport. At least there aren't
long lines.
|
 |
 |
On the trip down the Sierpe River (toward Drake's Bay) we ran into more than one of these (Crocs). |
|
Unlike Disneyland, these are real...
|
 |
 |
On the approach Aguila de Osa - we pass some of their facilities. |
|
We enter the Ajujitas River to the dock at Aguila.
|
 |
 |
And here we are again. Paradise. |
|
We arrive at the reception area which is also
the bar and dining area.
|
 |
 |
Their beautiful open air dining area. |
|
This member of their friendly staff accompanied us on many of our hikes and walks. Aguila (Augie) - could not be bothered to stay awake at this time. |
 |
 |
One of the room balconies at Aguila. There are 14 rooms of various sizes, each with a balcony and private bath. |
|
This is the balcony outside Linda/Bob and Reid/Lisa's rooms.
This porch had a hammock. |
 |
 |
Another balcony overlooking Drakes Bay. |
|
Some of the flowers just outside the walkway to
the dining room.
|
 |
 |
Ajujitas River... One afternoon while the gals read and napped, the guys kayaked
up the river a bit. |
|
From one of the room balconies - this is another
view of Drakes Bay

The beach on the way to town (Drakes Bay) |

Drakes Bay Market
|
 |
 |
Drakes Bay Saloon - Richie & Reid made their way here one evening for a party - without killing themselves!!! Everyone thought Jack and Lisa were negligent to let them go, like anyone could have stopped them. Those boys. |
|
This Yellow Billed Toucan visited us (just off
our porch) a couple times. We saw them flying all around the Osa
this year.
|
 |
 |
Monkeys, (Mono Blancos) visited us in the trees and bushes right outside our rooms each evening about 4:00. They do not have much to fear so they just make themselves right at home munching on things that monkeys like to munch on. These are white faced capuchin monkeys. |
 |
In the young palm plants, they really like the little berry like fruit. |
 |
 |
More Monkeys....
|
 |
 |
More Monkeys.... They were so cute and so funny |
 |
 |
On the roof between our rooms |
 |
Even more Monkeys....
|
 |
 |
BECAUSE... We were, after all,"in it for the monkeys". |
