Costa Rica
My wife and I first visited Costa Rica in 2006. We spent the first week at Casa Corcovado Jungle Lodge near Corcovado National Park. The second week we traveled around without any plans or reservations, except for the last two nights. We read that driving in Costa Rica is risky - but we had fun. Of course, we got lost once too and ended up spending the night someplace we hadn't intended.
We returned in 2011 and went to the Caribbean side and stayed in Cahuita for almost the entire trip. It was quite different from our first visit.

Coatimundi - Nasua narica - White-Nosed Coati
We saw wild Coatimundi on many occasions but, as I've come to understand, it can be quite frustrating to photograph animals in the wild (they tend to hide or run away - imagine that).
This shot was taken at Tree of Life another wildlife sanctuary near Cahuita.
Note: I'm not convinced the term "sanctuary" is entirely appropriate for some - or all - of these places. I have some questions about how much effort is made to put animals back into the wild.
