Hanging Bridges - Worth doing?
I write this post with the idea of warning those who are looking for action and are thinking about doing the hanging bridges tour in Arenal or Monteverde. Don´t do it! Now, I can understand how someone can enjoy this activity, such as a bird watcher or a complete nature lover, but this [...]
Why Red is the International Symbol of Danger
On my second visit to Costa Rica my group and I decided we would seek out the land less travelled by most tourists and go to the country’s east coast to visit the hippie/rasta paradise in Puerto Viejo (Province of Limon). Luckily for us we were travelling with a native Costa Rican senorita which [...]
Driving in Costa Rica
If you have ever talked to someone who has been to Costa Rica they have certainly spoken to you about the driving conditions of the country. Although few countries can rival the majestic views you are bound to see while driving in Costa Rica, few also have such bad road conditions. Thankfully the [...]
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. [...]
Amazing total Lunar Eclipse in Costa Rica!
The Lunar Eclipse was just as striking in Costa Rica as anywhere else in the World.
What made the sight so spectacular was the absolutely clear night sky. These pictures were taken from the Central Valley, close to Heredia. The peak hour to watch the eclipse was at 9:26pm local time.
Costa Rica - Panama border
To cross the Costa Rican border to Panama on the Atlantic Coast is an adventure in itself. While heading out to Bocas del Toro in Panama, we came across this border straight out of a comic book. The most challenging part to the crossing was making sure my feet didn’t go through [...]
My Trip to Puerto Viejo
Puerto Viejo I now regard as my favorite location in all of Costa Rica. I feel quite badly about not having brought anyone who visited me initially to Puerto Viejo, but I really had no idea this kind of place could be found in Costa Rica. It truly is paradise on Earth, and has a [...]
What can happen in any 32 hour period in Costa Rica
This posting is primarily a warning to anyone traveling to this wonderful country and thinking they can drive as they do in their own country of origin. Obviously as a prominent tour operator in this beautiful country we would like to suggest taking private transportation, but if you want to rent-a-car we can arrange [...]
A Magical Experience
One of Costa Rica’s best kept secret has to be La Cusinga Lodge near Dominical. We arrived and were greeted by an amazing staff; they walked us to the reception area that was perched on a hill top overlooking the Pacific Ocean. We realized at this moment that this was going to be [...]
One Heck of a Journey!
This past week I decided to make a stop in Panama. Being on a tight budget flying was out of the question, so I decided to take my bags with me and hop on the Tica Bus. This is a local bus company that takes Costa Ricans from Panama all the way to [...]
