Tropical Dry Forest

In our trip to Costa Rica we hiked a lot. During the hiking to different places we walked through many dry forests .The dry forest is an ecosystem that has little amount of trees. This is a very different ecosystem from the tropical rain forest because is less colorful and has fewer amounts of life forms. The trees are tall and wide, consisting on mostly blanches with some leaves at the top. The seeds reach the dry forest when wind carries them to it.  In the rainy season the seeds and the plants grow because they have enough water. These plants have to be able to survive without water and moisture for a long time. During the dry season the leaves start falling so the trees need less amount of water, the termites and ants eat the trunks and they destroy it. While you walk through the ecosystem you can feel al the heat of the sun in your head. The trees can’t create a very strong shadow because they are very apart. While you are in the forest you also can feel the strong wind and hear it moving the plants. This wind is very useful because it refresh you. You can see a lot of landscapes around you that count be admired from a tropical rain forest because the trees cover them. In conclusion, the tropical dry forest is a beautiful ecosystem that can be enjoyed in the Natural Park of Guanacaste, Costa Rica.
