The roof of our cabin is teaming with all sorts of life. The gecko’s are permanent residents and the bats fly in and out while making their high pitched calls way above us. Abundant wildlife is all around us, even though downtown Pavones and the surf break are only a 5 minute walk. Mira Olas, Jungle deLuxe Cabina is well positioned on a slope allowing to look straight into several different trees providing a food source for large groups of squirrel monkeys, the occasional white headed Capuchin and the impressive howler monkeys. Many birds like the beautiful Toucan as well as the Blue Morpho butterfly are amazingly close for great viewing.

 
It is hardly dawn, 5:20 am and the howler monkeys make their point starting out the day with some serious hollering, which when heard close up for the first time can be intimidating. End of the rainy season, no tourists. Besides a Canadian couple driving their 4×4 Isuzu thru Central America and an out of place looking Irish guy, there are only the real locals. Even most of the resident foreigners are still gone visiting their home countries.
