Trip to Mal Pais

Two friends took me to a quick weekend trip to Mal Pais. Although Mal Pais is very beautiful, the journey was far more rewarding than the destination. Most images below were a no no shot from car images.You never know what you're going to run into when flying around curves. This just happened to be a herd of cattle we approached at 60kph.


Fences are made from live trees here. Why? because if the tree is alive the fence won't rot. The fence will grow into the tree. Post are expensive if treated for weather and will eventually rot so this is far more effective. The only problem is, if you dont cut the top of the tree the fence grows up. Good thing is the top of the tree/fence can be replanted as another tree/fence.
I got this shot by sticking my camera out the window and snapping three photos. It is a fish farm near the Nicoya Penisula.
The animals give the stink to gringos also.

Stayed at Playa Naranja because our 5 hr trip had turned into 7 due to a large river in Playa Bongo that we couldnt cross. Had to back track for a long while.

Mal Pais. Surf was head high and kinda fun. Area is super built up yet still beautiful.
