Monteverde

---

The cloud forest looked quite a lot like the muggy forests of Pennsylvania and seemed slightly less rainy, with many more screams in the distance - not of monkeys, but of zipliners, and the monkeys and other animals have all been scared away in this natural amusement park for Americans, but I guess that's what pays for this treasure to be protected; besides, a hiking tour with a botanist who could call animals to him was really interesting and entertaining, especially when the American tourists got upset with him for "believing" in evolution.

Hummingbirds
The botanist there explained how harmful it is for the hummingbirds to drink sugar water - it's so sweet that they prefer it to flower nectar, which makes it more difficult for flowers to pollinate, which has a snowball effect that affects the whole ecosystem.
