Because, it was such a climb came up with the idea of getting a taxi to take up to where we had stopped on our first hike and then climb to the top. Found a taxi willing to take us up the road and off we went. The driver's name was Luis and he actually as from Puerto Jimenez and knew some of the people we knew there.
We were heading up the road visiting and talking about changes in Puerto Jimenez and in Golfito when we started hearing some very loud calling. What is that? Luis stopped the vehicle and we got out to see what it was.
Luis was the first to spot the Three Wattled Bell Birds that were making the calls. We thanked him for the ride and started from there. It was an amazing place, there were about six or seven Bell Birds calling to each other moving from tree to tree. That was not enough and there were almost as many toucans also moving through the trees calling to each other.
As we walked along, it seemed both the toucans and bellbirds were following us as we moved along. Could also hear motmots calling but
could never find them. At one point the insects started there sounds and you really felt you were in a jungle.
As we were walking back down were rewarded with a male and female Black Throated Trogon. They are so funny to watch as they move their head back and forth; so robotic looking.
We walked and walked and walked but never did make it to the top and so we are not sure of what the actual distance is but you did enjoy the walk and consider it a great place to explore if in Golfito.
