      A very nice thought, particularly as you explained how to attract them in but the bananas are over the laguna and the laguna has caiman!!!! Posted 5 years ago

            Alright, then we'll just use light attraction. Can bring spectacular results in the tropics. Posted 5 years ago

        Some, but it's always more exciting for me to see other people's photos. And, I have never been to Costa Rica, although I would absolutely love to go. Posted 5 years ago

          I agree it's nice to see others' photos - it gives you ideas - Costa Rica is amazing we put together a great itinerary - from the Nicaraguan border down to the Osa peninsula with brilliant whales at Marino Ballenas - turtles on the Caribbean & Quetzals in the highlands Posted 5 years ago
