The airport terminal at Quepos (bigger than most). I am
standing at the end of the runway taking this picture. It was a paved
runway but paved a good number of years back.
 |
Flying into Quepos - who is that in the right seat???
Could it be the copilot or a helpful Air Traffic Controller. |
|
We stayed at the Tulemar Bungalows. This is Jack
& Richie checking out their bungalow.
|
 |
 |
Bob & Linda at their bungalow under the beautiful
"monkey tail bush". |
|
Inside our bungalow, Lisa standing on the back
balcony surveying the landscape.
|
 |
 |
The three boys on the balcony deciding when they'll
have that next beer. |
| Bob & Linda come calling, with an extra brew - come
right in!!! |
 |
 |
Right off the balcony, Reid spotted a three toed sloth mom with
a little baby hanging onto her chest. Can you see the gray spot
in the trees, just to the right of Linda - that's it.
She kept us amazed for a couple days until she decided we were
too invasive and moved away.

 |
The sloth
(not a good pictures)
|
 |
 |
This is where we started each day, at breakfast.
Continental, Typical or American???
|
Another breakfast shot....
A beautiful fresh fruit plate each day, fresh orange juice, rice
and beans.
|
 |
 |
Pool at Tulemar - we spent a lot of time in here! |
Monkeys, yes we saw monkeys. These squirrel monkeys
(Mono Titi). They showed up right outside the pool area and put
on quite a show.
Mono Titis are endemic to this area around Manuel
Antonio and like so many other creatures, are in danger of extinction
due to habitat loss.
|
 |
 |
They hung around to entertain us (or was it the other
way around) for a little while and then left. We never saw them there
again. |
 |
|
Costa Rican squirrel outside our bungalow.
|
 |
 |
Cattle and cattle egrets on the road to Dominical. |
|
Local Restaurant in Manuel Antonio - The food was
fairly good, but we REALLY do not recommend the place. We left a
pair of binoculars on the table and never saw them again.
The people there were LESS than helpful, bordering on hostile.
|
 |
 |
Local store in Quepos - we bought some supplies! |
|
Fresh pineapples anyone?
|
 |
 |
Another local store in downtown Quepos. |
| More storefronts in downtown Quepos |
 |
 |
Local restaurant we didn't have time to try. |
| Hardware store in downtown Quepos - everyone needs a
machete. |
 |
 |
The sunsets at Tulemar were beautiful...... |
 |
.....and they came....... |
|
just about the same time, every day.
|
 |
 |
Did I say we really liked the sunsets?
|
|
Okay, that's enough...
|
 |
|
After a week in Quepos - this was our ride back to the
San Jose area - a Cessna 208 Caravan. More civilized than the smaller
planes. |
