Toucan in Guiraoga refuge
We are looking forward to being at home again, but not the long travel time of almost two days. We have had a fabulous time here but it is always nice to go home.

This morning we went to a nature reserve, Guira Oga, where they rescue native wildlife. They had many varieties of birds and a few kinds of mammals as well as some reptiles.

We’d planned to also go to the Botanical Garden which we’d seen advertised; however, it was closed. Instead we went to La Aripuca. It’s a bit of a conservation themed Park where they’ve used old trees to build several large wooden structures. There really isn’t a lot to see here, but they have a restaurant where we had a nice meal.
After lunch we went downtown hoping to go to a hummingbird garden. It was closed for siesta. Instead we tried to find a grocery store. We asked at the hotel downtown but they said all the stores would be closed. However we did find a small corner store where we got some bread, cheese, fruit, and a can of tuna fish to have for supper tonight and lunch tomorrow.

It has been hot and humid all day. Just a few minutes ago it started to pour rain so we are glad we are dry in our room, not downtown in the downpour.
