Whenever the word \u201cenchanting\u201d is used, there is something, well, enchanting about it. Maybe it\u2019s just semantics, but there is definitely a stigma attached to that word. For me at least, it\u2019s worth an investigation.<\/p>\n

Drifting around Twitter-ville recently, I stumbled across this intriguing\u00a0word. My predictability took over, and I followed the link to Velvet Escape\u2019s post<\/a> about the crowning jewel of Costa Rica\u2019s ecological legacy, Tortuguero National Park<\/a>. However brief as this article was, \u201cenchanting\u201d was only the start.<\/p>\n

A maze of canals, estuaries, and lagoons are surrounded by the dense rainforests along the Caribbean; a combination that put Costa Rica on the map. Visitors to the park can take hike and boat tours through the waterways to get to the more intimate areas of the park. If you\u2019re going by boat, expect canopy-covered canals through a wonderland of animal life (monkeys, tapirs, and sloths . . . need I say more?). If you choose to hike — opt for the guided night hike during\u00a0turtle nesting season\u00a0(tortuguero literally means \u201cregion of turtles\u201d).<\/p>\n

All these possibilities send my imagination reeling. Looks like I\u2019ve been enchanted, yet again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
