A little scary, but a great view!!! If only the pilots spoke English!

... We made our way down the road to a nearby restaurant for some dessert. It was expensive but absolutely delicious. The town of Quepos has abundant nightlife any night of the week, but none of us really felt like taking taxis into town. Instead, we spent ...

We spent the day in Manuel Antonio National Park. It is one of Cosa Ricaīs smallest parks, but also a favorite. We hiked into a small, rocky, beautiful beach and played in the warm ocean and ate our lunch. We continued hiking up to the vista that ...

I've been in Costa Rica for what will be 2 weeks tomorrow. I haven't done much aside from go to the beach, drink beer, swim in the pool, drink vodka, walk/glide in the jungle, drink tequila. I've been at casa de Jill through the stays of Linda and Kirby, ...

Manuel Antonio National Park Today we hit the beautiful beaches of Manuel Antonio National Park, which is just a 10 minute bus ride from our hostel. We walked with Ani in the shady area along the beach, giving her some morning exercise. Then we decided ...

Since I didn't have a plan, I tagged along with Stephanie to Quepos, a place a local had told her was crawling with wildlife. Quepos itself was nothing special, although we did stumble across a really good casado (typical meal of meat, rice, beans, ...

... we got lost again, asked a few people and finally found our way. When we finally saw signs for Quepos, we were delighted. The road signs in Costa Rica are terrible. Then we got stopped by the police, again! Now come on, we didnīt do anything this ...

We are finally in beautiful Quepos, Costa Rica. It is a small town with a trash problem and understated charm. It is 7 km from one of the most famous sections of beach in Costa Rica. Today we bought bread, cheese, avocados and tomatoes. Tomorrow we will ...

We headed to one of Costa Ricaīs most popular parks - Manuel Antonio. The book makes it out to be a horrible touristic hell but we thought it was lovely. You catch a lcal bus to the park, pay your ten bucks and wonder through beautiful rainforest spying ...

... places. we decided to head down south, farther than i have been yet. so we jumped on a bus and made our way to Quepos, which is mostly just a little fishing town and not much of a beach, so we didn't even spend the night there. we hailed ourselves a ...

Today I got up with the sun and Kirby and I decided to make the journey to Manuel Antonio national park. Jill drove us into town and on the way I saw a bunch of blue morphos! We opted to take the hike around punto catedral instead of going straight ...

Hola from Manuel Antonio! This is going to be short I just wanted to post some pictures of my trip so far for those of you who are curious. Having an awesome time, enjoying the sun and trying not to get too burnt... its difficult trust me. I've met ...

All you can drink and eat Sunset Cruise on the Pacific. I wish I had bought an underwater camera for the snorkeling- It was so much fun!!! I think my dad, mom, Pat and I were the most obnoxious on the boat!!! I learned a new spanish word- poquito- ...

The next morning we caught a bus down to the town of Quepos to go eat, bank, shop and explore. Quepos is a mid-sized town that survives primarily on tourism but also has a larger local population than most of the other places we'd been until then. There ...

... except that there is no Air con and the roads are pretty windy and nauseating. Its a small touristy town its 7km from one of Costa Ricaīs national parks Manuel Antonio. My first night I just grabbed a cheap box of a hotel if you can call it that the room ...

... Park and spend the day at one of the beautiful beaches along its shore. Manuel Antonio is the smallest national park in Costa Rica, but it's also the most crowded with tourists. Much of the wildlife there seems accustomed to people. So while the ...

"Preparing" for Travel Since arriving in Costa Rica, well... even before arriving it seems like it has been a whirlwind of activity. Probably because is has been. Between a hectic work schedule for Sarah, work and school for me, and taking care of ...

... said it would stop on Saturday (and frankly...hairdressers are much better at predictions!) We drove the final 60 kms to Quepos which is a fishing port with a few shops and restaurants in it. Its basically where all the tourists stop the day before the ...

I drove down from jaco to quepos. the town does not offer much. on the way you cross two adventurous bridges. further down i reached Manuel Antonio, the Beach National Park. The beaches are really perfect with good water and white sand and a diverse ...

Still hinging onto this sore heid, we got out of Puntarenas on the 8am bus to Quepos. A 3.5 hour journey didnīt make it any better! Quepos is a decent sized wee town 7 km from Manuel Antonio National Park. A bit more suited to our budget than staying in ...

Our fishing trip with Captain Tony and First Mate Walter

... Another great weekend here in Costa Rica. Except for one tiny thing. Everywhere I have been in Costa Rica, including Playa del Coco, Puriscal, San Jose and Quepos, there is cheesy 80s American music playing. Everywhere. Since I have been here, I have ...

So this is what you think of when you think of Costa Rica: jungles and ocean, monkeys and sea turtles, beer and surfing. Quepos was a great excursion, if for no other reason than you could find all of these things just a short walk from a two dollar a ...
