Activities
Barba Roja
There is no better place to watch the sunset in Manuel Antonio than at Barba Roja. This restaurant/bar offers a great happy hour from 4pm - 6pm, just in time to watch that famous sunset. The sun almost always sets at 5:30pm. Seafood is their specialty, although I must admit I [...]
Pineapple Plantation Visit
A neat little stop along our way to doing the Kayak River Float tour in Arenal was a pineapple plantation. Pineapples are now Costa Rica´s number one export surpassing Coffee a short while ago. We were told that the most exported pinneapple is called number 5, because it is genetically modified. [...]
Poas Volcano
Technorati Profile Poas volcano was my father´s highlight during his visit to Costa Rica. I myself really enjoyed seeing this volcano. I had been to Arenal many times, and did not know what to expect. I had fairly high expectations, especially since it had just been voted one of the [...]
The Iguana Stop
On our way to do the Cano Negro tour with Canoa Adventura, we were taken to a neat little stop. They called it the Iguana Stop, and we were asked to step out of the tour bus and walk on the bridge. Although I did expect to see Iguanas, I never expected [...]
Sash Restaurant
If your looking for Mediterranean cuisine while in Costa Rica, Sash just may be one of your best options. This restaurant is divided into three sections. They have a lounge area upstairs that is only open from Thursday to Saturday. They usually spin some house music on those nights. On [...]
La Casona del Cerdo Restaurant
Translate to the house of pork in English. This restaurant is not for those looking to eat healthy as the name suggests. This is a popular night spot for Costa Ricans looking to drink some beers and eat some bocas (apps). I wouldn’t say this restaurant is good for families, even though [...]
Safary Float by Kayak
This activity one of our favorite activities in the Arenal area. Go kayaking down the Pinas Blancas river and witness the beauty of your surrounding area. On this calm river you will have the chance to see sloths, monkeys, caymans and much more. Another positive for this activity is the fact that [...]
Corteza Amarilla Restaurant
Corteza Amarilla just may be one of my favorite restaurants due to its unique decor and amazing food. This restaurant/ boutique hotel offers an experience unlike any other in the Central Valley. Located about 10 minutes from Santa Ana, this restaurant was decorated by the owner who has a passion for [...]
Baalbek Restaurant
Great views, decent service, and overpriced menu basically sums up this restaurant. Located in the mountains of San Rafael, Baalbec caters to the upper class of the area. This large restaurant offers four different environments to its clients. A lounge area, main restaurant and bar are all nice to eat at, but [...]
La Casa de Doña Lela Restaurant
Translates to Home of Mrs. Lela Restaurant. This is one of the most famous typical restaurants in Costa Rica. You will usually see more locals than tourists in this restaurant. All of the restaurants are located in the Central Valley. Rice, chicken, beans, pico de gallo, arroz con leche are basically [...]
