Heliconia and Strelitzia are of flowering plants found in the tropical forests including Costa Rica. For met its hard for me to distinguish one from the other. Common names for the genus include lobster-claws, toucan beak, wild plantains or bird-of-paradise

Donna and I took a trip to Costa Rica in November 2003 to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary. One of the highlights of the trip was taking an all day rafting trip on the Class II Section of the Reventazón River. Our trip occurred at the end of the rainy season, so the waters were unusually high as can be seen in some of our photos.

The jungle comes right down to the beach at Manuel Antonio National Park in Costa Rica. Staying at the beautiful Hotel La Mariposa overlooking the park was a highlight of our trip to Costa Rica in November 2003. Although the park is Costa Rica's smallest national park, the diversity of wildlife is unequaled. Reportedly there are 109 species of mammals and 184 species of birds as well as three of Costa Rica's four monkey species — the Mantled Howler monkey, Central American Squirrel Monkey (of which we observed hundreds), and White-headed Capuchin monkey. Black Spiny-tailed Iguana, Green Iguana, Common Basilisk, White-nosed Coati and many snake and bat species are also common in the park.
