Sloths, Parrots, Bats and then Breakfast -- a winning combination!
Arenal Oasis Wildlife Refuge的点评
点评:My family of 6 drove from our rental apartment in La Fortuna to Arenal Oasis Wildlife Refuge to take the 6am SLOTH TOUR. We were loaded onto a tour bus that left promptly with a total of 12 participants and our guide, Juan Rojas, for locations around La Fortuna. Juan showed us sloths at three different sites, but we spent most of the time at the last one, where we saw both 3-toed and 2-toed sloths, including a precious year-old one. We would never have seen the sloths or the bats or the parrots without his help! I appreciated Juan's voice: he presented information succinctly and completely. When he spoke, he didn't raise his voice, but we could hear him well. It seemed so appropriate to the early morning and our desire to see the wild animals. My husband was impressed by the depth and breadth of Juan's knowledge -- he identified birds in flight and by ear, and knew the geology and history of the land. When I made the booking, I requested that a chair be provided for my husband, who is recovering from back surgery and needed to sit at times during the tour. Our driver, Walter, carried the chair for us, which made the excursion possible for Dick. When we returned to the Arenal Oasis Wildlife Refuge Lodge, we discovered that the coffee we'd been promised was actually a full, "typica" Costa Rican breakfast with fresh fruit, rice and beans, plantains and an egg!
翻译:我们一家六口从位于拉福图纳的租住公寓驱车前往阿雷纳尔绿洲野生动物保护区,参加早上六点的树懒之旅。我们登上了一辆旅游巴士,巴士准时出发,车上共有十二名游客,我们的导游是胡安·罗哈斯。巴士前往拉福图纳周边的各个地点。胡安带我们去了三个不同的地点观赏树懒,但我们大部分时间都待在最后一个地点,在那里我们看到了三趾树懒和二趾树懒,其中还有一只可爱的一岁大的小树懒。如果没有他的帮助,我们根本不可能看到树懒、蝙蝠或鹦鹉!我很喜欢胡安的讲解方式:他讲解简洁明了,又通俗易懂。他说话时声音不大,但我们都能听得很清楚。这种音量和清晨的氛围以及我们想要观赏野生动物的愿望非常契合。我的丈夫对胡安渊博的知识印象深刻——他能通过飞行和听觉辨认鸟类,还了解当地的地质和历史。预订时,我特意要求为我丈夫提供一把椅子,因为他刚做完背部手术,需要在游览过程中坐一会儿。我们的司机沃尔特帮我们把椅子搬了过来,这才让迪克得以顺利完成这次旅行。回到阿雷纳尔绿洲野生动物保护区旅馆后,我们发现之前承诺的咖啡竟然是一顿丰盛的“典型”哥斯达黎加早餐,包括新鲜水果、米饭、豆子、大蕉和鸡蛋!
