San Jose Day Trip: Braulio Carrillo
The private shuttle picked me up at 10 a.m., and I was welcomed on board with smiles and a chorus of hellos. Alvaro, our guide, explained that our trip to the private reserve, adjacent to Braulio Carrillo National Park, would take about an hour. Ominously, he offered rain ponchos to us all -- "well we're going to a rainforest, after all," he said with a grin. A quick glance outside seconded his words: gray clouds peppered the sky, and the horizon looked stormy.
