On my last night in Costa Rica I went to a Hotel near Manuel Antonio National Park that I heard had access to some great habitat right next to the park. In order to get access you had to pay for the hotels expensive guided night hike. Well the guide we were supposed to have was sick and someone else showed up that didn't seem to know what to do. The other participants in the hike were mostly not dressed for any serious hiking so this guy took us only on a paved portion of trail near some wetlands. I was pretty upset to pay so much for such a lousy tour and to not even get into the good habitat. The guide at least let me go ahead of the rest of the group sometimes. I did find several of these pretty Red-Eyed Treefrogs. These are pretty common throughout Costa Rica and I have seen them many times but they are always a pretty site. This one was photographed in-situ as found.
