I have only been in Costa Rica for two weeks and yet that does not seem possible having seen such a diversity of places from high mountain cloud forests in Arenal and Monte Verde to tropical rain forests on the Osa Peninsular. What a spectacular country with so much crammed in to a relatively small area.

It seems to me that there is nothing that will not grow in this country. The farm fence posts are living trees that start by the farmers just shoving a stick in the ground which then shoots out and becomes a tree in no time at all. I even saw a cement telephone pole with something growing out the top of it.
So I am going to dedicate this post mainly to the flora and fauna of Costa Rica

This photo does not do justice to this little guy as the green stripe are almost florescent. The local indigenous tribes used the poison secreted by this frog to place on the tips of their arrows and darts for hunting.
