点评:This place is off the beaten path. A small dirt road off the main road (Hwy 4) with a very inconspicuous wooden double gate. Crossing those gate, you come into a paradisal land. William and Kristal have developed this land from a small plot into one of the premier lowland birding locations in Costa Rica. They have obtained pasture and abandoned land and let it recover into what it originally was… wild. On my visit, I was able to view and photograph frogs, bats, butterflies and over 50 new species of birds. My guide, Greimer, (sp?) was superbly knowledgeable and appeared to know where all the species were… fantastic. We had two daytime and one night tour during a one night stay.
The butterfly garden is fantastic, mainly because, as a side business, they export butterflies all over the world.
As far as accommodations, rooms were clean, spacious and air conditioned, a must in this hot and humid climate.
Meals were included and fresh, varied and abundant.
They have plenty and well marked trails.
I want to directly thank Kristal, who so graciously went out of her way to transport my wife in her vehicle to the dining area, being that she has walking problems.
翻译:这里远离喧嚣,只有一条从主干道(4号公路)岔出的土路,路口有一扇非常不起眼的木制双开大门。穿过大门,仿佛进入了人间天堂。威廉和克里斯塔尔夫妇将这片土地从一小块地开发成了哥斯达黎加首屈一指的低地观鸟胜地。他们收购了牧场和废弃土地,并让它们恢复了原本的自然状态……一片片野趣盎然的景象。我此行观赏并拍摄了青蛙、蝙蝠、蝴蝶以及超过50种新的鸟类。我的向导格雷默(拼写可能有误)知识渊博,似乎对所有鸟类的栖息地都了如指掌……真是太棒了!我们在那里住了一晚,期间参加了两次日间游览和一次夜间游览。
蝴蝶园非常壮观,这主要是因为他们还以出口蝴蝶为副业,将蝴蝶销往世界各地。
住宿方面,房间干净宽敞,配备空调,在这样炎热潮湿的气候下,空调至关重要。
餐食包含在房费内,新鲜多样,而且量足。
这里有许多标识清晰的徒步路线。我要特别感谢克里斯塔尔,她非常热心地开车送我妻子到餐厅,因为她行动不便。
