Living - Santa Ana

Living is a small club located in the posh district of Santa Ana in the Central Valley. The crowd at living is an older crowd with a little bit more to spend than the average party animal. Bottle service is big here and you can expect to pay around $200 for your bottle, [...]

Snorkeling (in the Osa Peninsula)

One thing that Costa Rica may not be very well known for is its sea coral. It was thus to my amazement that I discovered how great this can be when I travelled to the Osa peninsula for the first time and organized a boat trip through a local sea excursion/ tour operator in [...]

Rapsodia - Great Place for a Social Drink

Rapsodia might not have the best location in town, but it more than makes up for it by having a great atmosphere and good service. This lounge is the ideal spot to hit for drinks prior to heading out to the clubs. The music differs depending on the night, but electronic music is [...]

Baldi Hot Springs

The only place in all of Costa Rica that I have taken every single person who has visited me are the Baldi Hot Springs. Words will never due justice to this wonderland located in Arenal. Try to think of an Eco Walt Disney World, with a giant active volcano as its backdrop. [...]

The most famous team in the country is without a doubt Saprissa, San Jose´s team. They have the largest stadium (Ricardo Saprissa), the craziest fans [...]

Coastal Kayak on Drake Bay

Venado Caves - A One of a Kind Adventure

I had the pleasure (if someone can call it that) of exploring the Venado caves of Costa Rica. Located about an hour from Arenal volcano, the Venado caves were created about 15 to 20 million years ago. They spent most of their existence under water until they surfaced due to tectonic activity. [...]
