Wild Sun Rescue Center
27 februari 2021, Costa Rica ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
Imagine relaxing in a nice cool swimming pool..

..and suddenly a deer walks around the corner.. eats a little gras and chills just next to you at the pool🦌

Well that’s exactly what happened to us today😂 and while we were still admiring the graceful creature about 13 scarlet macaws were flying around and they landed on the trees above us.😍
They made such a noise it was so much fun and their colors ar just stunning!

For this night we’re staying here in a rescue center for all kinds of animals. They right now have cute little babymonkeys😍
The hotel is a bit outside the village in the jungle. We have a beautiful view over the forest and the sea. The smell is incredible and so are the colors and the best of it are the sounds of the nature🌿
Many crickets and birds are singing their lullaby 🎶Meer informatie

Montezuma Falls
28 februari 2021, Costa Rica ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C
After a dreaming sunrise and very yummy breakfast we walked through the river to the first (there are 3 big ones) waterfall. Up there we found some ropes in the bushes/ roots and of course we had to climb up there! (there are steps for the non adventurous people)
Some parts of the trail were very difficult and kinda dangerous, but i like these kinds of adventure😬
After about 15 minutes we reached the 2nd and the 3rd waterfall! Up there were big pools of water and we found one for our own!
The water was soo refreshingly cold, a dream after the hot and sweatly climbing part😂
It was a bit creepy because the water wasn’t very clear and i couldn’t see everything.. But that’s the deal of adventures, right?
As we were chilling in the pool, a lizard came to the shore and drank, there were many birds and sadley many spiders chilling at the water🤢🕷Meer informatie

Puntarenas
28 februari 2021, Costa Rica ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
From Paquera we took the ferry to Puntarenas. We were there at about 2pm. At 3 they started to distribute the coupons which we needed to buy our tickets. Their organisation was a organised chaos. Atfer an other hour we were ready to swim the 70 minutes to Puntarenas. We played some Black Stories and judged some people which weren’t wearing their masks correctly🧐
We arrived perfectly for the sunset, an amazing one!

The we walked along the Promenade but it was so dirty, filled with trash and annoying sellers. It smelled very bad too! So we escaped into the the hidden streets where the locals life. There it was much prettier. The colorful houses and the green trees!
Here we saw the extreme differences to our standards of living.Meer informatie

As a short stop from the road we’ve found this absolut gorgeous beach! The dark sand, the palm trees and the fishing boats were just so idyllic🌴☀️ There were nearly any people and we had the diamond to ourself.
We saw many different birds there and a lot of cute shells and little crabs.🦀 🐚Meer informatie

Jungle Night Hike
1 maart 2021, Costa Rica ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
So tonight we went on a Jungle Night Hike and we were really looking forward to this adventure😎
At 6.15pm we started and we immediately saw 3 deers and click beetles (they glow in the dark)
Before entering the jungle we spotted a tucan and the first spider. In the forest it was already pitch dark and with the flashlights we searched the ground for snakes cause the guide Efraim was looking in the trees and bushes.
We found some really interesting and more or less disgusting animals (spiders🤢).
We spotted many different frogs and even the most famous frog of Costa Rica the red-eyed tree frog!!
Many birds and even a scorpion which glowed under the UV light.🦂
And sadly many diffrent spiders, a whip spider a yellow spider and even 3 tarantulas😭😧 (i really hate spiders🕷) and of course crickets and cockroaches!
It was very hot and humid in the jungle and it was kinda creepy(in a good way) and it was definitely worth it to participate in Efraim‘s great tour!

When we were at diner later we saw a sloth😍
It was so soooo cute and sooo very slow, such a adorable animal!!🦥Meer informatie

Espadillos South Beach
1 maart 2021, Costa Rica ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Once you pass the annoying guides/ parking dudes/ sellers, the beach is an absolute dream! 💭
The sand‘s so fine and it has some glitter in it, the big rocks and the perfect waves🌊🏝
At around 3pm the tides changes, the flood starts. And it stunning how the beach changes!
Nearly half of the beach vanishes and the part next to the national park overflows the hole area, soo keep an eye on your stuff 👁😆
And let me tell you about the perfect sunset we saw!
The whole atmosphere is just magical! The colors and the sounds of the crickets and birds, just overwhelming✨Meer informatie

National Park Manuel Antonio
2 maart 2021, Costa Rica ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C
Today we decided to visit the National Park. At the entrance area many guides were there and blow wistles or were coming intrusive at you to sell you a guided tour and many sellers wanted to sell you water or coconuts🙄
Once we passed all of them we finally entered the park and we were alone on the trails most of the time.

IT WAS SO HOT IN THERE AND SOOO HUMID we nearly melted to death🔥🥵🔥🥵🔥🥵🔥

At the beach areas we’ve found thousands of crabs in tiny shells and a lot of iguanas and big lizards 🦀🐚🦎
The beaches were totally amazing, the pure sand, rock formations and the colorful sea, just a dream!

We spottet a group of capuchin monkeys, one even carrying a baby. It was so fun to watch them jump around and climbing in the trees!

At the visitor center we granted us a ice cream!🍦Meer informatie

Monkey and Food Spam.
2 maart 2021, Costa Rica ⋅ 🌙 27 °C
For two night we stayed at a Hostel outside of Quepos next to the National Park Manuel Antonio. We had maybe 1 Minute way to the entrance. Cute tiny village, very touristic, but sometimes it has to be like this😝
Soo tonight we went to the beach to watch the sunset and then go to eat diner. But on our shortcut to the beach we’ve met about 20 squirell monkeys!
THEY WERE SO CUTE😍 just jumping around, playing with each other and the cute noises the make! We had the to our own, no other people just us who could appreciate this precious moment! 🐒

After this spectacle and a marvelous sunset we ate at the Morpho Beach Bar. The guide of the jungle Tour recommended it to us, and THANK YOU. The food was soo delicious (exept the cilantro in the guacamole)
David had some jumbo shrimps and freshly caught salmon with pineapple-mango sauce and i had a steak with mashed potatoes and vegetables at a red wine-pineapple sauce, just delicious! They made nice decorations with strawberries and cucumbers and even the water had a variety of fruits in it🤤

on the road 2.0
3 maart 2021, Costa Rica ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
Today we’re driving away from the pacific coast into the middle our stop will be near Cartago.
Because we think that highways are boring we took a route through the mountains😂
The „streets“ were sometimes soo terrible or even just had sand and so many steep curves and narrow bridges, it was a pure adventure! There were sometimes cows and horses on the road and we were alone on the road for long periods of time. 🐄

We drove relatively high in the mountains, we passed many fields, plantations, colorful flowers, rivers and some houses lost in the middle of nowhere🌸🌼
(luckily we had enough gas)

But the view was beautiful cause we saw over all the green of the fields and trees and the ocean on the horizon.
Up there the air was so fresh and it was way colder than on sealevel, we were so happy that we could cool down a bit☃️Meer informatie

Cot near Cartago
3 maart 2021, Costa Rica ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
After the adventurous journey we chilled a bit at our cute bungalow in the garden. Up here (ca. 1800 müM) it’s nearly cold compared to the coast or the humid rainforests. We drove up the hill to explore the region of the volcano Irazú (we couldn’t visit the volcano cause we haven’t a reservation😒) but it’s still a wonderful landscape. Everything is so intensive green and reminded me of Switzerland in the alps! There were even the black- white Holsteiner „swiss cows“. 🐄
Then we observed a beautiful sunset and ate diner with a nice view over Cartago.
When the sun‘s gone it’s dark almost immediately and it got really fresh up there, we had to wear sweaters😅
On the way back to the hotel we had a great view over the lights of the city 🌃Meer informatie
