Santa Elena/Monteverde are the highland cloud forest regions of Costa Rica famous for the ziplining craze which may (or may not) have started there. Its not much of a craze, actually, but its damn good fun all the same. Personally, I found some of the ziplines themselves (a zipline being a stell cable slung between two platforms along which you ...

We travelled from San Jose to La Fortuna and soon realised that no matter how many people are already on a Costa Rican us, it is never full! La Fortuna is a nice little town but sadly rather commercialised. The focal point of this town is Mount Arenal, Costa Rica´s most active volcano, which we enjoyed a trek to with our rebellious Costa Rican g...

So i was incredibly lazy in San Jose and saw nothing but the back of my eyelids for 14hrs. But it was fantastic and i was on the road again at 8am heading to Santa Elena/Monteverde, a trip which took about 4.5hrs by minivan, an hour of which was on crazy unsealed roads and gave us a flat tire. But made it safely to my hostel, dumped my stuff in ...

I love public buses. It's impossible to have an uneventful ride. For those raising their eyebrows, yes, I was given one 'public bus' pass from the rule-maker sitting at home. Our bus from Puntarenas to Monteverde surprised me. There was one person to a seat, with intact seat coverings. Curtains were present on each window. There was even a desig...

The Interbus shuttle to Monteverde picked us up near the airport on October 4th. We shared the bus with two girls from Texas and a couple from England. The four hour journey was easy until we came to the unpaved road about 30 kms from Monteverde and Santa Elena. We bounced and bumped up the hill for about an hour, but the rocky road was well wor...

Hey everyone!! Its been a crazy week. We've been snorkeling. The water was cloudy, but it was still fun, except that I kept freaking out a fish might decide to eat me. The day after that we went white water rafting down el Río Pacuare. The rapids were class 3 and 4. It took us through some pretty amazing canyons. Jeff and I sat in the front and ...

Today was an absolute blast. If you come to visit Monteverde, you must go on a zipline canopy tour. You don´t see much as you fly over the canopy because you are too busy hanging on for dear life but it´s an unforgettable adventure. I booked a tour with SkyTrek company and was picked up at 7:30 in the morning. It is best to do your touring early...

Hello everyone While some of you are busy building decks, off on crazy camping trips, random road trips, or simply enjoying the warm sunny weather, I find myself travelling around Costa Rica yet again. So much to see, so little time.... This past weekend, Brigid and I ventured off to Arenal as well as La Fortuna Waterfalls and Monteverde Cloud f...

Santa Elena ***, February 13th-15th, 2007...not globalized really but lotsa cafes and restaurants there for the tourists. Well Santa Elena and the famous National Park Monteverde was a bit of a disappointment really. We had a massively bone crunching journey from La Fortuna over to Santa Elena so it would want to have been wonderful to be truly ...
