Hotel Hacienda Guachepelin near Rincon de la Vieja

The province of Guanacaste is named after these huge Guanacaste trees. They are tall and the canopy is very spread out so each tree casts a lot of shade. This one is on the grounds of the hotel where we stayed, although the trees are all over the place.
This tree had a lot of epiphytes in it, bromiliads etc. and a big flock of tiny green parrots. The parrots squawked loudly and constantly. Wish I could understand what they were so excited about. But they were small and high up in this huge tree so I couldn't get a good picture of them.
More interesting epiphytes, vines and bromiliads growing in this tree.
This tree had such pretty leaves. It was a very big tree, but the leaves resembled those of a house plant.
Close up of the leaves.
A very large bird in a dead tree. I wonder why these birds particularly like dead trees?
A large felled log that was part of the landscaping.
A eucalyptus tree.
Pretty plates on the wall of the dining room.
More pretty plates on a different wall.
A cute gate close to our room. This rock wall surrounded the back side of the hotel grounds. I especially like picturesque gates and rock walls.
This is for Austin who bought a hammock when he was here. You need a large veranda with posts to hang your hammock on!
