US Airways - December 2013 - (Page 61)

You don't necessarily need to go looking for thrills in a country where so much is already wild. This might seem like the antithesis of adventure until you realize you're miles into unfamiliar woods that are home to poisonous snakes, walking trees, and screaming monkeys. But I'm looking for monkeys. I've seen images of cute monkeys everywhere - on postcards, T-shirts, key chains, even cuddly stuffed versions in souvenir shops. Monkeys are everywhere, except here in the wild depths of the Cinco Ceibas rain forest reserve. Cinco Ceibas, near the Nicaraguan border in northeast Costa Rica, is the brainchild of Henk Morelisse and his wife, Jackie. They purchased the abandoned pineapple farm surrounded by forest in the 1990s to grow teak trees. But the untouched rain forest they discovered proved an even more valuable investment in usairwaysmag.com Clockwise from top left: kayaking, cinco ceibas owners Henk and Jackie morelisse, a "blue jeans" poison-dart frog, toucan, and rain forest guide Adrian baboza Alvardao december 2013 61 http://www.usairwaysmag.com
