My family and I had a great time in your home Casa Punta Banco. You did not exaggerate when you told me, this was one of the most beautiful places in the world. We really loved your home, the trails, waterfalls, and beach. Everyday was a beautiful adventure. When we arrived the floral arrangements were probably some of the finest I have ever seen. On your property we visited w/ the monkeys, both white faces and squirrel, and heard the howlers. We saw the macaws everyday, and the toucans occasionally; the last day six toucans said goodbye to us. We especially enjoyed the second floor porch view; on 3 maybe 4 days we watched the whales diving. We found the poison frogs, butterflies, and moths. Flora was great; she prepared amazing diners every night for us. She cleaned and also did some wash for us. Each day when she arrived, Flora walked thru the orchard, and brought fruit/spices, etc. to enhance our diners. The diners were truly restaurant quality. One day we hiked to the top of the property, really quite a challenge. Both villages, Pavones and Punta Banco, the people were great and we did almost every activity offered: from surfing to fishing. One night, one of the local Ticos even called upon us at 8:00 PM to join them in the release of the sea turtles. I will refer people to you to rent your home. Thank you for a great time, Norman Roth

The rainforest has the highest concentration of life and habitat on the planet. Species of animals include ocelots, sloths, cacomistle, kinkajou, olingo, porcupine, skunk, rabbit, agoritic, tayia, grison, deer, otter, squirrels, raccoons, opossum, anteaters, armadillos, wild boars, lizards, colorful dart frogs, toads, iguana, paca, weasels, fox, and peccary just to start the list. You can see everything at Casa Punta Banco that Costa Rica has to offer other than the large cats and macaws that can only be seen across the bay at Corcovado (local fishermen can take you across for the day).
