During our trip to the Arenal Volcano and the Baldi Springs, we also hiked two trails: El Silencio and one on a private reserve. El Silencio is a path which winds up a small hill and at the top, offers a great view of the volcano. On El Silencio, we saw many different types of flora and fauna. Some of the highlights were definitely the toucan and the coatis. We located the toucan by its distinct, high-pitched sound and we found the coatis ambling across our path. The other trail we hiked was on a private reserve and circled a small pond located in the center if the park. Once again we witnessed many different species of wildlife such as a boat billed heron, a few types of butterflies, some Jesus Christ Lizards (named this because of their ability to run on water) and even a sloth!

Durante de nuestra viaje al Volcan Arenal y las piscinas de Baldi, tambien caminamos en dos senderos: El Silencio y uno en una reserva privada. El silencio es un sendero que va areba de un lado de una colina pequena y al parte superior, que ofrece una vista inrcreible del volcan. En el Silencio, vimos muchas tipos diferentes de la fauna en el bosque como coatis y un toucan. Nosotros enseguimos el toucan de su sonido muy distincto y enseguimos el coati que anduvo en nuestro sendero. El otro sendero que cambinams estuvo en una reserva provada y rodeado un lago pequeno en el centro del parque. Otra vez vimos muchas tipas de fauna en el bosque. Vimos un boat billed heron, mariposas, Jesus Christ lizard, incluso un sloth!
