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.

Dendrobates auratus - Green and Black Poison Dart Frog
This was photographed while we stayed at the Almonds and Corrals Hotel for the last two days of our trip to Costa Rica in 2011. There was a section of the hotel set aside with a "nature trail" and - while it was obviously not maintained - a small pond in the middle had some of these green and black poison dart frogs just hanging out.
