Lapa Photographed at Casa Lapa

The photograph below was taken by Nick Halverson in May 2015 from the backyard of Casa Lapa using a Nikon D5000 with a Nikkor 18-140 mm lens. It is of a scarlet macaw (or a lapa as they are known in Costa Rica).

There were four lapas eating the ripening almonds from the almond tree in the early morning. If you look closely at the photo you can see that this one has the almond between its beak. We planted those trees approximately three years ago and we now regularly have lapas flying in and eating.

The condo is really excellent. It is a very comfortable place. Everything is new and works great. The kitchen is very well stocked. We really enjoyed the balcony overlooking the golf course. It is an excellent week long home in a great location.

La casa es tal y como se ve en las fotos. A la piscina le hace falta un poco de mantenimiento, tiene azulejos sueltos. Y el rancho para parrilla necesita mantenimiento

It was very good the house is comfortable and the pool is great, but I think it would be good to have TV via satellite at least and not only netflix or youtube. The wi-fi connection was not the best and the kolbi cellphones never worked in the area.
