Ethan Li ’25 and Rowan Van Wormer ’24 share a poem from a visit to Marino Ballena National Park, La Sierpe, and their arrival at Campanario.
A night with air-conditioning was such a dream
I felt the cold air coming, I let out a scream
A great nights sleep in the best bed
Just what we needed to clear our head
Went to a beach shaped like a whale’s tail (Uvita Beach at Marina Ballena)
We saw some monkeys whose faces were pale (White-face capuchin monkeys)
Some people were pooped on
The hike in the sun was a marathon
We sat together and watched the waves
Ice Cream made with love satisfied our craves
We stopped for lunch before getting on a boat (Las Vegas at Sierpe town)
Our tour guides Jero and Pablo are the GOAT’s
We took a boat ride to Campanario
The ride was smooth, best case scenario
No electricity, No air conditioning, No fans
We’re all excited for the future plans
Before dinner we took a dip while the sun was setting
The seasickness from earlier we’re now forgetting
A candlelit dinner for fifteen
Yet another meal of rice and bean
Ending the night with a debrief
To bed we go, what a relief
