curu wildlife refuge

my favorite place in costa rica. we stopped and stayed the night in the curu wildlife refuge on the way back from montezuma. we would have stayed there the whole time but the fees were a little pricey for us. so worth it though! we stayed in a little cabina next to the beach. we made friends with a local monkey and a cute dog. they were both so friendly and affectionate. one of the most amazing experiences!

sharing some fruit with a local


she loved to hold my hand

the most beautiful beach

our doggy friend joined us

woke up early the next day and walked around with the dog

solitude. didn't see a single person on the beach the entire time


played in the water with the dog


precious baby

went walking around that morning and she ran up out of nowhere and hugged me


she wanted to hold my hand while we were walking but she needed her hands so she wrapped her tail around me

a car drove by and she dropped down and played dead haha

so affectionate

she was protective. a guy walked by and she got in front of me and hissed at him


broke out the papaya



shared some papaya. she loved it


she stole joshs half. she ended up eating more papaya than any of us.

she loved the ripe plantain too

as you can see, i love animals!

she wanted to take a nap after she ate


went swimming after that








our cabina for the night

frugivore hands. long fingers, perfect for opening up ripe fruit.
