Day 16. Wednesday April 27. Naranjillo to Esquipulas

Distance = 16 km (9.6 miles)

Nothing dries overnight in this climate, so I put on my wet clothes and started walking. We made it to the Esquipulas Rainforest where we selected our tents, cleaned up and washed some clothes. We shared the place with a group from the World Bank, who are section hiking the Camino. Birding is popular, and we saw many yellow and black macaws while sitting in the dining area. Several of us walked over to the nearby Naranjillo waterfall.

After dinner, when it had gotten dark, we all put on our headlamps and went froggin’. We’ve been seeing and hearing frogs all through Costa Rica but this was something else. Here is a collection of frog photos taken that night and other days by Juancho’s superior camera. Among others there is a Blue Jean dart frog, a poisonous Black and Green Dart frog and some Red-Eyed frogs (with their eyes closed).
