My trip to the Rainforest
My name is Maria and I’m on holiday in Costa Rica with my
family. We’re staying in a lodge, which is a special house in the
rainforest. There are ten people in our group and there are two
guides.
This is my diary…
Thursday 10th September
Today we walked in the rainforest
with our guides. Wow! It was
fantastic. The trees are really, really tall here. There are a lot of
amazing and colourful birds in
them.
You can hear them singing and
making weird sounds! I saw black
and yellow toucans and big red
and green parrots.
I also saw the biggest bird in the
rainforest, the Black Guan. It’s
black, but it has a blue face and red legs. We saw a lot of insects,
too. I saw some blue beetles with
black spots and some beautiful
butterflies. There are thousands and thousands of insects in this
rainforest. There are more than
100 types of animals, too!
In the evening, we sat next to the
campfire. The guides cooked us
rice and beans. The food was really nice. We talked about the rainforest and I wrote my diary.
Friday 11th September
Today we got up early. Then we
went on a small boat on the river
Tenorio. We saw more birds and also some monkeys in the trees.
The monkeys are called howler
monkeys. They are big and black or brown. They are also very
noisy!
We saw some baby crocodiles,
too. There were ten baby
crocodiles in a nest. The mother
wasn’t with them.
Adult crocodiles are big and very
dangerous, so we didn’t stay
there long!
In the evening, we had rice and
beans again and we ate some
fruit. We talked about the crocodiles!
Tomorrow we’re going to look at a volcano! It’s called Arenal and I
can’t wait!
