Under white sails on a journey to the unique natural paradise in<br />
Costa Rica: Puerto Caldera – Puerto Caldera (San José)<br />
Costa Rica’s Pacific coast:<br />
perfect sailing waters<br />
The Pacific coast is blessed with an abundance of natural<br />
beauty, reliable winds, outstanding anchorages, lush<br />
green coasts and radiant sunshine. Columbus named<br />
Costa Rica “La Huerta”, or “the garden”, and the name is<br />
just as fitting today as it was back then.<br />
The volcanic interior<br />
Deep crater lakes and blue lagoons set against a barren<br />
landscape: The volcanic regions of Costa Rica reveal a<br />
completely different side to this otherwise immensely<br />
colourful country. In the Valle Central, the most fertile of<br />
the country’s valleys, the natural bounty takes a particularly<br />
aromatic form with the extensive coffee plantations.<br />
The unique national parks<br />
The <strong>Sea</strong> <strong>Cloud</strong> brings you to the region’s widely spread<br />
national parks using the best possible route – the sea.<br />
Water birds can be spotted on boat trips through the<br />
mangroves in the Palo Verde National Park; the Carara<br />
National Park marks the transition from tropical rainforest<br />
to dry forest; the blossom in the Pura Vida Gardens offers<br />
a veritable rapture of colours; and early risers in the<br />
Manuel Antonio Park will be rewarded with once-in-a-lifetime<br />
sightings of the indigenous animal population.<br />
Also on board: biologist Brigitte Fugger<br />
Brigitte Fugger, marine biologist, ecologist, and ornithologist,<br />
has led over 150 research voyages. She has worked as a<br />
lecturer in tropical ecology and a birdsong expert. She now<br />
spends most of her time writing nature guides and producing<br />
wildlife films, and frequently works as an on-board lecturer.<br />
Depending upon the circumstances, it is possible that another lecturer will be on board<br />
for this trip.<br />
