La Fortuna

Views over to the (still active) Arenal volcano in Costa Rica, never failed to take my breath away.
Views over to the (still active) Arenal volcano in Costa Rica, never failed to take my breath away.
You can find this shot along the main road from La Fortuna as it goes past Arenal Volcano on your way to the lake. We got there just in time for the last bit of light. #bvs100k
Beautiful waterfall in the rainforest, in Costa Rica. 500+ steps to get to the waterfall, but worth it!
Didnt realize how small these guys were. #scaredthecrapoutofme
