We made it to the village and so did the rain. It has just cleared though and looks to be a beautiful evening. From the time we arrived we have given them plenty of food. I told them we wanted to beef them up before the big day of rafting. The homes we are at are very humble but with amazing people and just being here makes for a great community service project. To me this is the best part of the trip. It is a chance for the kids to meet the locals and see how it is to live in the country on not many resources except for some rice and beans, chickens, and smiles and laughter. The kids seem to be doing well and after lunch we had some cooking classes of the local meals and then they are all hanging with their families. We have planned a salsa class for after dinner so I will fill you in on how good they are with some pictures. We will be heading to the river in the morning and we plan on getting very wet.
We considet this the real gem of Costa Rica along with the many waterfalls, volcanoes, and beautiful animals it is the people in the village of Sitio de Mata that alway impress our guest more than anyone. If you are interested in making this village a part of a Costa Rica eco adventure package with us just let us know.
