The Great Kapok Tree
This is a top pick! Hi, So we went for a 2hr jungle walk this morning. I was hoping to see more but it was still pretty neat. We heard but did not see howler monkeys. We saw 3 tucans and a few other neat birds whose names I don't know as the guide only knew the ...
Finally we made it.
This is a top pick! Hi all, Well we made it into Costa Rica 2days ago. We were in late due to a flight delay. We arrived at our Hostal and crashed for the night. The next morning we were to leave at 9am to head south (4hrs on 2 buses). Brett had other plans. She woke up ...

Ahhhh
This is a top pick! Hi All, We are having a very relaxing time here although it is very humid. We walked up to a waterfall today and I was just dripping with sweat when we arrived. I couldn't wait to get in. There was a nice place to sit where the water just rushed ...
Walking on Water
This is a top pick! So we took one last trip to the beach today. We had a nice time playing in the surf and walking on water (what can we say?). We are looking forward to packing up and heading to Manuel Antonio tomorrow. The kids are really going to miss their friends ...
Christmas in Uvita
... ones, but this was the best substitute we could have asked for. It is with still-full stomachs that we roll ourselves out of bed to catch the 6 am bus to San Isidro. Goodbye, wee Uvita! Goodbye, small animals still hurting from Anikah´s exuberant ...

Uvita
Small village on the main road but Tucan Hotel set back. Pricey considering only 2 showers/toilets shared between up to 4 people in treehouse, 4 in hammocks, multiple others camping plus 12 people in dorms when fully occupied - ...

Happy Boxing Day

Der Ruf der Wale
Seit wir in Panama zwei Mädels getroffen hatten, die uns von einer Bucht in Costa Rica erzählt haben in der gerade Buckelwale mit ihren Jungen sind, lag ich Jan in den Ohren mit "Ich will Wale sehen, ich will Wale sehen....". Also sind wir nach Uvita ...
Dominical and Uvita
... quick swim didn't take any planning. Also, the town had a much less developed feel - our guidebook descibed it as what Costa Rica would've been like 20 years ago. Houses, hotels and sodas (diners) mixed amongst farmland, with plenty of ...
Ladrones and the tail of a Whale
... had to wade through the rivers (becoming perplexed as to why crocodiles lurk in some rivers, but never in others....hmmmm). Uvita Beach has a really long promonotory (?) of sand that thrusts hundreds of metres out to sea, culminating in a rock ...
Wow, I´m so far behind!
... there to get back on the subject). After visiting Quepos/Manuel Antonio, we headed farther south to Uvita, another small town on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. It was a cute little town, again with a supermarket with all the items a gringo ...
Moving on... just a little:-)

Amigos Unite - Uvita
Ryder Redfield, You are the coolest mop in all of Costa Rica. I've spent the last four days in the little coastal town of Uvita hanging out and catching up with a close friend of mine from college days and in Argentina so many years ago. Ryder moved ...
More rain
Back down to sea level and out of the clouds, but now we’re under them. More rain. We drove to Uvita on the coast of Marino Ballena National Park (there’s a peninsula at low tide shaped like a whale tail if viewed from ...
Costa Rica
... in time for Mike to give us a ride back to his home. I had the opportunity to give a public talk while in Costa Rica to the Uvita group, and evidently the brother scheduled me for a talk in a neighboring congregation as well. I found out on Thursday that ...
The Real Costa Rica
... up here within a day. Kind of fun to have a travel buddy show up to enjoy a small town. Uvita is described in my travel guide as what Costa Rica may have looked like before tourism took hold and, I'd agree. The population is spread out and the main ...
einsam, einsamer, Uvita...
Von Manuel Antonio geht es nun nochmal 70 km südlich die Pazifikküste hinunter nach Uvita, einem kleinen, wirklich sehr kleinen Weiler. Die wikipedia-Definition für Weiler bedeutet: maximal 25 Häuser ohne zentrales Gebäude. Den örtlichen Supermarkt ...

More beach

Beautiful Life in Beachland
Hello, Daniel and I just finished 3 days and 3 nights in the beach town of Uvita on the Pacific side of Costa Rica. Lonely Planet (referred to by some people wittier than yours truly as Lonely Lies) advised us that Uvita is what Costa Rican ...
WHALES
... GROUPS OF GUYS WOULD JUST LOOK TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT IF YOUR GAY OR NOT. LUCKILY I WAS ON THE EARLY BUS TO UVITA THE NEXT MORNING, ITS A NICE PLACE MAINLY FOR SURFERS THOUGH, UNFORTUNATELY. I WENT HIKING TO A NATIONAL PARK BUT INSTEAD OF ...

Uvita and the hospital...
