The Butterfly Sanctuary was amazing. CR is one of the best places to see butterflies. Melissa and Brian did the longest zip-line in CR – 13 links, the last one was over a kilometer long. About noon we headed down the mountain to Puntarenas (on the ocean). Just when I thought I had seen the worst roads, we took it up to the top level. The road down was gravel, rough, and without ANYTHING to protect you from the 300 metres (1000 ft) drop. We coasted at about 10kms/hour all the way to the bottom. The best way to handle the situation I discovered is to not look over the edge and keep my eyes on the road. The vistas were awesome but I couldn’t stop to take pictures.
