January 7, 8 & 9 - Las Varas & Las Lomas



Beautiful morning at the estuary in the park

Saturday I went to JEEP and treated the cats ears for their final treatment.


Other than that it was a pretty uneventful day.

Sunday we went to Las Varas on a shopping trip.  


Shops along the highway


Downtown Las Varas at the Bodega (discount shopping store)

Today we decided  to venture out to find Lo de Perla, an orchid sanctuary near Las Lomas.


We followed a very long winding road through banana and mango plantations.


Past small farms (with goats)


Through dense jungle


Not orchids but pretty


This is actually a good country road it is wide and no huge holes!


We passed other local travellers.

Unfortunately we never found Lo de Perla.  We ended up at a private resort.  I will have to contact them and find out when their tours run and if we can drive there ourselves or need to join a tour.


Back in Rincon


We decided to have lunch at Hinde y Jaimes as a consolation destination.

Not to busy for lunch, I guess the tourist season is not yet in full swing. Our mouths are watering seeing the salsa and chili sauce on the table!
