• Dominical to Puerto Jiménez

    January 31 in Costa Rica 🌧 27 °C

    The drive was around 3 hours - a split journey from the boys!
    When we arrived in Puerto Jiménez we were slightly surprised by the state of the town. Very run down and a surprise on every corner - one featuring a local drunk man lying on the floor in his own vomit - where the bloody hell are we?
    It gets worse - we get to our accommodation (which had been booked for us by the Corcovado tour company who we were joining the next day) and the best way to describe it was a ‘serial killer hostel’ 😂 bright green walls, rusty appliances, broken aircon and a freezing cold shower 😂 oh yeah and it was LITERALLY next to a runway! We obviously found the whole thing very funny!
    We searched online for a dinner location - as you can imagine there wasn’t a lot there. We settled on a pizza place (which actually had very good pizzas) but sadly no beer! We then planned our next steps post jungle excursion as we had booked to stay here after and had very much changed our minds about coming back to Puerto Jiménez (surprise surprise)!
