Lookout Inn Tropical Update
Hello and pura vida to all our friends and family who have joined us over the years at the tropical Lookout Inn.

We are entering the heart of this year's rainy season standing at 120 inches to date and a lot more ahead of us. The Scarlet Macaws have been in full regalia this season. In fact, National Geographic's professional photographer, Roy Toft, has chosen the Lookout Inn to hold his Osa Peninsula student workshops. The unique perch that our observation decks offer to his aspiring wildlife photographers give a rare vantage point from which to photograph these jewels of the forest. Unfortunately, most photos of these regal birds are taken as they fly overhead and too often result in a silhouette against the sky. When not teaching classes in Africa, Alaska, Borneo or India's tiger country, Roy can be found at the Inn, joking with the guests and waiting for that award winning shot to fly by.

If you were to read almost any field guide on Costa Rica, actually seeing the famed Red Eyed Green Tree Frog in the wild is all but a lost cause. Those of you who have graced our home know that our two frog ponds are teeming with these colorful creatures. This year is no different and each night guests venture down our staircase before and after dinner to photograph, videotape, or just bask in the beauty that this beautiful amphibian offers.

| Lookout Inn offers a package tour with Mike Boston offering guided hikes. Click here to see the details |
In the last two weeks, resident biologist Mike Boston, has sighted the tracks of two individual jaguars and a Baird's Tapir east of the Lookout, confirming the widening of the corridors that connect the various species populations around the peninsula. These corridors continue to assure that the gene pools do not remain isolated and instead the endangered species have every opportunity to continue to thrive.
As in passed years, the Save the Turtle Foundation has continued their invaluable work in collecting, incubating and then releasing the turtle hatchlings each night. Their efforts not only assure that many nests that would otherwise be poached or destroyed by dogs are safely guarded, but more importantly they are assuring that these species continue to grace our beaches for many generations.
Finally, Katya and I would like to extend our warmest regards to all of the guests who have visited and have shared their experiences with friends and family alike. We often times find ourselves rereading the kind words you have written in our guest books and reliving the wonderful times you have brought to us. Please continue to live life to the fullest and remember that you have a home that welcomes you always at the Lookout Inn.
Katya , Terry , Wendy and the Staff at Look Out Inn
