The trail from los patos to sirena - muddy but passable.

Getting a ride to the river. We were supposed to get a ride through 9 km of river crossings, but we ended up having to walk this portion. All told, it becuase a 30km hike with full packs and about 25 river crossings.

Julia crosses the first river.

Posing with the sign

The three of us posing - Jeff, Julia, and the bird book.

I was really tired, so I took this picture as an excuse to stop walking

Most of the hike is in the jungle right along the beach

Falling behind

Sunrise - we are hiking out 17 km along the beach from Sirena

Boats to take up the river to view animals

Taking abreak by the palms at low tide

Near the end of the hike. My feet are killing me

Looking out on the Pacific

The clouds kept the beach hike from getting too hot.
