Although the tickets are valid all day long and you can go after the morning guidance to the national park again, many people already drive back to Santa Elena in the afternoon or to the following point of program. For the few people, who stay, it means, that the park is deserted, so that you rarely see someone on the round and walking ways.
That’s why we just meet a group of latecomers, when we walk a second time over the Sendero Bosque Nuboso to the Quetzals. The next kilometre we have for us alone. Sometimes it seams, that no one else is in the park.
Not until we see the lookout point “La Ventana”, we detect some other rambler. And they see us, as their waves tell us. Now at almost 1550 meter, you can observe, how the wind blow the clouds over the Comb line. Again and again small clouds and nebula clouds fall in the forest, in order to dissolve a little later. An impressing play.
Five minutes later we reached the Continental depart of Central America. Here the only protection against the storm-like wind were densely grown bushes. Where they were missing, the storm blew strongly in our faces. Fortunately the viewing platform was placed on the lee-side. If it was not you could not have stayed here for long. But from this position two different views opened up in front of us: On the one side the Pacific Ocean and sunshine, the other side with direction to the Caribbean- draped in clouds with a gloomy atmosphere.
