travel central america costa rica limon countryside
From the port of Limon, we drove to the Rios Troicales Lodge near the village of Cairo about 30 miles northwest of Limon for white water rafting.
Although it was lightly raining and I was shooting through a rain-spattered window, I did get a few, mostly fuzzy, photos along the way.
