Winding roads bring us to Arenal
February 26, 2023 in Costa Rica ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C
Waking up this morning in Arenal. Our base for the next 3 days Los Lagos resort, is at the base of this stunning volcano. Almost always hidden in clouds; we're somewhere around 2500 ft ASV. We had our first taste of the rain forest on a Safari float on the Penas Blancas River and our first sloth and howler monkey sightings. We're told there will be many more. This weather is so interesting. Just surrounding the volcano, its hot and humid one minute... then the clouds dump buckets of rain for a minute or two and then the sun shines again. 5 minutes away from here, it's all sun. The volcano seems to have its own weather.Read more
TravelerWell that’s an awesome day one 🤗

SLOTHs!!!
February 27, 2023 in Costa Rica
An early morning start let us see these crazy cute and shy creatures. We trekked a little way into the reserve behind our eagle eye guides! It's unbelievable how they can spot the sloths and different birds and creatures amongst all the vegetation. All the portrayals of sloths are true.. they move very slowly and are mostly seen curled up into hairy balls. We were really lucky to see this one big guy hanging around, all stretched out. We had a nice lunch in La Fortuna, then back to Los Lagos to the hot springs for the afternoon. This is my kind of "swim up bar" in the hot springs! Only 104 degrees! Finally made it to dinner out! ( first 2 nights were room service and sleep!) taking a couple nights to catch up on all the biz, motion and commotion!) 🤪Read more

Volcano Trek and Toucan Hunt
February 28, 2023 in Costa Rica ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
The beautiful Toucans were waiting to say good morning! They are just the most fun bird ! Their beaks are more than a third of their body size. We already know their sound and can pick them out when we hear the chirps. We hiked up to the Volcano look out. This ancient ruins for past worship of the volcano felt very real and symbolic. We could imagine past worshippers sitting here praying to the gods of the
Volcano. The hot springs were a great way to enjoy the afternoon before heading back to La Fortuna for drinks and dinner. Ooh La Forchetta was an amazing Italian restaurant! It was a great last day in La Fortuna at Los Lagos.Read more
TravelerWhat an amazing experience❤️❤️

Lake Crossing to MonteVerde
March 1, 2023 in Costa Rica ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
We travelled through so much weather today! It started with a 30 min lake crossing, some fog and choppy water. Once on the other side we had a 1.5 hour drive up through the thickest clouds to about 4600 ft ASV. Then we broke through the clouds and into the beautiful sunny MonteVerde range. The weather around these mountain ranges is just incredible! They all seem to have their own systems. We spent the afternoon strolling around the cute little town, had lunch in a "treehouse" and opted into a rain forest night walk. The biodiversity of these forests is immense, and quite serious business!Read more
TravelerWow a very different weather experience stunning sun

Cloud Forest, Coffee & Cacao
March 2, 2023 in Costa Rica ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
Another early start in the cloud forest this morning. This was mostly to learn about the various climates and sub cultures living in this very diverse eco system. It's beautiful and I wished I could bottle the scents coming from the different fauna here! The hummingbirds were such a nice surprise. We enjoyed a really interesting tour in the afternoon; all about coffee production, cacao and sugar cane. I made molasses candy that is so good, it's alot like maple taffy. Monte Verde has some great spots for lunch and dinner, another full day!Read more

El Tigre Waterfalls and a Horse!
March 3, 2023 in Costa Rica ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
What a hike! 8km's up down and all around a canyon, with 7 stunning waterfalls, a few (undisclosed 😉) hanging bridges, amazing vegetation and then a horseback ride... It's been a long time since either of us were on a horse. We strolled around Monte Verde for our last afternoon here, capped it off with a delicious local rice dish and rooftop sunset at the hotel! Feeling very PURA Vida❣️Read more

Off the Mountains, Onto the Coast
March 4, 2023 in Costa Rica ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C
We drove four hours today to reach the coast, traveling for a bit on the PanAmerica highway. What a beautiful site to see the ocean, and feel the extreme heat here! We just relaxed by the pool and had a nice dinner at our new spot for the next 4 nights. The Falls at Manuel Antonio.Read more

Monkeys and Beaches
March 5, 2023 in Costa Rica ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C
It's so fun to walk in a new little town, but especially when it has monkeys! We just explored this morning along the beach wall and walked the National Park in the afternoon. It is very steamy, and part of the park walk is a dip in one of the beautiful protected beaches. We saw more monkeys and sloths, and the most beautiful gigantic plants. There are so many spots to choose from for dinner, this is the toughest decision of the day.Read more
