Cascada Verde
COSTA RICA | Thursday, 23 October 2008 | Views [137]
Tugged away in the jungle is this glorious tree house, like
Noe’s but ten times bigger. It's an eco-retreat and takes in volunteers to help around
the organic farm. Organic garden is more like it, as I haven't seen
any animals. I think it’s
totally luxurious because it has electricity and running water. Mirko, from Germany, runs the place and the
volunteers. He put my in the attic of
the guest quarter because the volunteer quarter was full, but only for one
night as five volunteers would be leaving the next day for visit Panama for
five days.
The distance from the pitched roof to the floor of this
attic was so short that even I have to bend forward some. While I can’t imagine how other traveling
gringos would be able to handle it, I came to like it, even if it were for one
night. It had a gorgeous view of the
jungle (no windows) and in the distant background, you can see the horizon where the ocean
meets the sky. When the sun sets, the
sky turns orange with bright yellow and orange rays penetrating through the
foliage of the dark green forest. Besides
the songs sang by the animals and crickets, it is quiet.
Everything seems to be at a still, even time.
