What are mangroves?

In Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica, you will enjoy the National Park tour but you should also consider the Damas Island Mangrove boat tour.

We’d like to give you some information about mangroves.

“Mangroves (generally) are trees and shrubs that grow in saline coastal habitats. The word is used in at least three senses, most broadly to refer to the habitat and entire plant assemblage or mangal, for which the terms mangrove swamp and mangrove forest are also used, to refer to all trees and large shrubs in the mangal, and narrowly to refer to the mangrove family of plants, the Rhizophoraceae, or even more specifically just to mangrove trees of the genus Rhizophora. Mangal is found in depositional coastal environments where fine sediments, often with high organic content, collect in areas protected from high energy wave action.”

We are in the worst month for rain here in costa rica which is october but it is not raining, but people tell me that is happening all over the world. Tours here are very good. Our guest are seeing alot and very satisfied. The full moon is coming and they are bringing the largest tides of the year, oct has the biggest tides in central america, so no swimming for the locals, it is better to swim in nov to april in Costa Rica.

Thank you and thats all for today

Sorry we can not write more but we are still at the hotel la mansion inn and internet here is very expensive.”

Rainy Season in the Tropics

Another great day in the tropics and manuel antonio is beautiful as always, the town is getting ready for the big soccer game that is La liga against a team from Chile called Colo Colo. The national park is great and there is not alot of people but that is normal due to the lowest month of the year for tourism, not just in costa rica but in the whole world…..
We are still going in everyday and we are seeing alot of animals like monkeys and sloths.

That is all for today your friend and cool Costa Rica tour guide
