We have always had one principle on our
bike trips: no detours. No matter how great someone will say a sight
is, and how close it is to the main road, it very seldom is worth the
detour on a bike. A good example of this were the Kivatsu waterfalls
that we saw in the summer in Russia: a nice small waterfall, but in
no way worth the 16-kilometer detour that took us nearly an hour to
cycle on a narrow sand road.
But when Kelly, the owner of Essence
Arenal, our new favorite hostel in El Castillo, told us this morning
about a small iguana sanctuary only about 1,5 kilometers from the
main road in Muelle San Carlos we decided to break our own rules once
more and do a detour. And boy, was this the best detour ever!
This lizard hotspot is situated North
of the big intersection in Muelle San Carlos. Right next to a bridge
lies a touristy shop and restaurant with a lizard theme, and outside
these amazing creatures were just enjoying the sun and our attention.
One of the big lizards showed a great interest in Lina's trailer sniffing and even licking it –
maybe he was considering a doing cycling trip of his own?
