点评:Juan and Antonio picked us up at the cruise port in Puerto Limon. A bit confusing finding Juan holding the sign. We didn't know we had to actually go through the market past security gate. But that was the only hiccup. Waited for the last couple for 5 minutes which was fine considering our own confusion. Onto a lovely air conditioned van. Antonio a fantastic driver, Juan so knowledgeable, pointed so much out as we drove through town to get to the canal. And really funny guy. Very good command of English. And Antonio! Oh my gosh! Talk about eagle eyes. He saw wildlife along the way and would pull over to have Juan point it out with his laser. Fantastic. Saw a sloth even before we got to the canal. Once at the canal, got into the boat and Antonia brought along an amazing camera with which he took fabulous picture. Between the boat captain and Antonio we saw a lot of birds, howler monkeys, a few sloths, iguanas, and even a baby crocodile. All of us on the boat were taking pictures, but imagine my surprise when we were offered pictures that Antonio had taken. Believe me, he is a much better photographer that I am or ever will be. The plantation tour was fascinating. It was so hot and humid and Juan made sure we always stopped where we would be shaded. He was very attentive. My husband and I highly recommend the tour. So worth it. Just remember, there are no guarantees you'll see a lot of wildlife. They were apologetic for not finding more. But it was fun regardless. Just to see the sloths up close made it worthwhile to me. Howler monkeys were high in the trees. And I swear, I have no idea how the boat caption saw that baby crocodile!
翻译:胡安和安东尼奥在利蒙港的邮轮码头接我们。找到胡安举着牌子的时候有点懵,因为我们不知道还要穿过市场,经过安检。不过这只是个小插曲。我们等了最后几位司机五分钟,考虑到我们自己的迷路,这完全可以接受。之后我们上了一辆舒适的空调面包车。安东尼奥是个很棒的司机,胡安知识渊博,一路给我们指点着各种动物,带我们穿过小镇前往运河。他还是个很幽默的人,英语说得非常好。至于安东尼奥!我的天哪!他简直是鹰眼!他一路上看到野生动物,就停下来让胡安用激光笔指给我们看。太棒了!还没到运河就看到了树懒。到了运河,我们上了船,安东尼奥带了一台很棒的相机,拍了很多精彩的照片。在船长和安东尼奥的带领下,我们看到了很多鸟类、吼猴、几只树懒、鬣蜥,甚至还有一只小鳄鱼。船上的每个人都在拍照,但当有人拿出安东尼奥拍的照片给我们看时,我真是惊喜万分。相信我,他的摄影技术比我好太多了,以后也永远比不上我。种植园之旅精彩纷呈。天气又热又潮,胡安确保我们每次都能停在阴凉处。他非常细心周到。我和我丈夫强烈推荐这次旅行,绝对物超所值。不过要记住,不能保证你一定能看到很多野生动物。他们也为没看到更多动物而道歉。但即便如此,整个旅程仍然非常有趣。光是近距离看到树懒就让我觉得不虚此行了。吼猴在树上高高地盘旋。我发誓,我真不知道船长是怎么看到那只小鳄鱼的!
