One of my most successfull and enjoyable safaris was on a boat in northern Costa Rica.
One of the national parks closest to the Nicaraguan border, Caño Negro is accessed by boat from Los Chiles, which actually is only three kilometres from the border. Although most tours start from Fortuna, a town where I had been just a day before for a visit to the Arenal volcano (which was covered in clouds), it is possible to arrange for a tour from the much less touristy Los Chiles. Already after one curve in the river, we stopped to spot caimans and for hours on end, this did not stop. This area is so rich in wildlife, that you can see animals almost wherever you look. But it was amazing how the guides picked out animals, sometimes small or completely hidden by their camouflage, far before any of us could spot them. At one time we even saw a nest of young caimans, at least 15, lying on top of each other.
