It's so hard to just pick a few photos when you have 300 of them to choose from!! I did my best…

We left Monte Verde and headed to "Grampa Ninja's", a B&B, in the small town of Barrance, just outside of Punta Arenas. Fun spot with rolling farmland hills and pretty cliffs by the beach. Kadin really liked the pool and the cows.

We also went to one of my favorite beaches, Playa Doña Ana, where Kadin had his first encounter with the ocean and crashing waves. Huge smiles and laughs as I held him up in the waves, letting the foaming swell slosh him around.
The Pizote, also known as a Coati - they were at the entrance to the beach.
As we left the beach, we saw a bunch of Capuchin Monkeys (Mono Carablanca) playing in a wooded grove. They were about 6 feet from me. I had to keep Kadin a safer distance away or he would have run off to join them!

Next, we traveled down the coast to see the crocodiles at the Tarcoles River and then to visit the Carara National Park. While we were hiking, we had a torrential downpour that lasted about 20 minutes – it was super refreshing considering how overheated we had been earlier that morning!

We packed up and continued traveling south, to the town of Quepos.
I taught Kadin how to "toast" with the Spanish phrase, "chin chin". He loves it!
