A family trip to a park (Sarapiquí / Parque España / La Paz area) begins with excitement and sightseeing.
Learning through experience: the children—especially Tomás—gain knowledge and understanding about nature and animals while visiting.
Nature exploration and observation:
- Observing a wide variety of birds (over 400 species).
- Noticing different animals, including monkeys.
- Seeing plant life such as palm trees, and observing differences in water conditions due to rain.
Safety and attentiveness while exploring:
- Tomás gets hurt after stepping into/near large tree roots, requiring checking and reassurance.
- The group emphasizes being careful and looking out for Tomás.
Enjoying landmarks and capturing memories:
- Stops include well-known places in/near San José and the La Paz waterfall, where they take photos.
Food and recovery after a hard moment:
- After the mishap and walking around, they eat at a Sarapiquí restaurant.
- Tomás gets his favorite meal: salad, spaghetti, and chicken.

Leave home very early.
Walk to the bus stop to travel toward Sarapiquí.
Take public transport through key city stops:
- National Theater (San José)
- Ministry of Culture
- Parque España (where they board the bus to the park)

Enter the park and begin with:
- Reviewing a map of the park.
- Using a book (about animals and birds) to identify wildlife.
Observe and explore areas on foot:
- Look for birds (including specific named types in the subtitles).
- Watch for animals such as monkeys.
- Notice plants (e.g., palm trees).
Practice caution while walking:
- Pay attention to ground hazards like tree roots.
- If someone falls or is injured, check immediately and reassure them.

Encourage photo-taking at scenic spots (flowers, waterfall).
Give step-by-step guidance for photos (e.g., positioning and timing counts like “1, 2, 3”).
If needed, someone else helps while one person focuses on the camera/shot.
