Isidro -2

This was not a “roughing it” trip — no sleeping on mats or eating rice and beans.  We birded pretty intensely at times but always returned to great meals and nice beds. Even the box lunches were pretty amazing. Isidro was particularly special.

The light-filled bedrooms were surrounded by jungle and birds.

The artwork and decor was striking.

There is a wide variety of birds around and hummers everywhere.

On one of our outings, we stopped at a nearby village to bird and relax.

On a Sunday afternoon, kids and adults play futbol on the playground.

Rest for the weary

I generally do not take pictures of food but the meals we returned to deserved some documentation for their artistry and taste.

That evening, after a unproductive owl prowl, we rested for a long travel day by bus, boat, and canoe to the Amazon Rainforest and four exciting days with a whole array of birds and other wildlife.
