This is the beautiful sandy beach at Samara on the Pacific Coast. Once you get here this safe, small, chilled-out, surfer town is just so nice you won't want to leave. Video from http://www.CostaRicaTravelRevealed.com

Peccarys are fearsome creatures that have been known to attack and even kill dogs and people. We were shocked out in the Costa Rican forest then when this friendly one came to say hello! Video from http://www.CostaRicaTravelRevealed.com

These ants were amazing. It's difficult to believe the size of the pieces of leaf they were carrying in relation to their body size. Video from http://www.CostaRicaTravelRevealed.com

These ctenosaurs or black iguana live all over the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. They communicate like other iguanas by bobbing their heads like this guy. Video from http://www.CostaRicaTravelRevealed.com

Iguanas are meant to spend most of their time in the trees but these guys were equally happy on the ground doing the job of rabbits and eating all the wild plants in this field. Video from http://www.CostaRicaTravelRevealed.com (more)

These bridges are securely fastened at either end and provide a unique way to see the forest and it's animals. But they *do* move about and they're not for those who are scared of heights! Video from http://www.CostaRicaTravelRevealed.com

This is proper rain - the sort that can come out of nowhere in Costa Rica. If you're in the forest and the sky starts to cloud over - find shelter - fast! Video from http://www.CostaRicaTravelRevealed.com

This is an example of the sort of rain that can come from nowhere in Costa Rica! Video from http://www.CostaRicaTravelRevealed.com

In this video I tried to give you an impression of how beatiful it is to be out in the Costa Rican forest on a warm, sunny day. Video from http://www.CostaRicaTravelRevealed.com

These forests at Monte Verde and Santa Elena in Costa Rica are at such a high elevation that the clouds roll through them, making them cool and very spooky! Video from http://www.CostaRicaTravelRevealed.com

Our guide said he'd never seen this before so while the video quality isn't great (sorry!) this is a very unusual and special video. Seen in Cano Negro in Costa Rica. Video from http://www.CostaRicaTravelRevealed.com

These ants had obviously had their nest disturbed. There were millions moving house. Note the white larvae that many are carrying under their bodies as they scurry past. Video from http://www.CostaRicaTravelRevealed.com

We found this forest scorpion running along near the toilets during a night tour in the Childrens Eternal Rainforest, Monte Verde, Costa Rica. Video from http://www.CostaRicaTravelRevealed.com

I did it - and it was a real buzz. You get a total feeling of weightlessness and you step off the edge. Would you try?! These sort of activites can be done in Arenal and Monte Verde. Video from http://www.CostaRicaTravelRevealed.com (more)

These agouti are about the size of a cat and fascinating. Watch this one chew the top off a nut so it doesn't grow, then bury it like a squirrel for later. Video from http://www.CostaRicaTravelRevealed.com

At the Butterfly Garden in Monte Verde, the cages are in among the forest and you can sit here at the top on comfortable chairs and admire the views. You can even volunteer here. Video from http://www.CostaRicaTravelRevealed.com
