Video of the day: Luxury mud pit of death
Bit of silliness from our hike around the Rincon de la Vieja volcano in Costa Rica yesterday.
Around the park, sulphur pits, steam vents, boiling hot pools and bubbling mud baths give the landscape a sci-fi edge.
Different kinds of forest – from dry to virgin cloud to rain – lay all around supporting a startling diversity of flora and fauna.
It was crowd-free, which I gather is a rarity in Costa Rica, so we had the place to ourselves more or less – ‘mas o menos’.
Monkeys threw sticks at us, kingsnakes hissed at us, and toucans croaked in our general direction. Good times!
