Ironically, thanks to the non-sustainable, land poisoning agriculture seen en route, there is a straight, fast, good road that zooms right on up to Los Chiles, the closest town to Cano Negro. From the Arenal area, it’s a pretty quick hour and a half deal up to Los Chiles. Get those bonus birds at Los Chiles and Cano Negro!

She holds her binoculars up to her eyes. She is frozen like a statue.
