Transfer La Fortuna - Santa Elena

A travel blog entry by geuensgorissen

Na een lekker ontbijt in het Arenal Hostel Resort, vertrokken we vanmorgen met een minibus richting onze nieuwe bestemming ( Santa Elena). Na een half uurtje in de bus, kregen we een prachtig zicht op het Lago Arenal, dat we per boot zouden oversteken. De boot bleek achteraf nog het meest stabiele vervoersmiddel van de dag want er wachtte ons een rit met een minibus over échte Costa Ricaanse wegen (= putten met af en toe een stukje weg). Aangekomen in Santa ...

On to Monteverde!

... large city of San Jose, there are not really any other major towns until you get to Puntarenas, which is right on the coast. From there, it is all uphill! Literally! Monteverde is situated right on top of the mountains that overlook Puntarenas! Although it is very beautiful, it is not very fun driving up the very bumpy, very narrow dirt road up to this little village! And the fact that it takes about an hour and a half from Puntarenas makes the whole situation that much more ...

... our main guide for the day, gave us a briefing on safety and of the day. We all had to sign our waivers (it isn't fun unless there's enough risk to require a waiver, right?). Alberto just had to throw in this quip to keep the bus entertained - "What are you called if you speak 3 languages? Tri-lingual. What about 2 languages? Bi-lingual. What about 1 language? American." Ughhh. SO sad, but so true.

We had a short hike down to the river. The hill was rocky, so I ...

Once back at our hotel we decided to take it easy as we were sore and tired from the last couple of days adventures. As Tom napped, I decided it was finally time to wash our increasingly smelly clothes. I thought briefly about sending it out to be laundered until I noticed that the hotel charged an absurd amount of money per atricle of clothing. Yeah, I don't think so. Instead, I opted for ...

Almirante (Panama) - La Fortuna (Costa Rica)

... bekommen wir die Steigung schnell zu spüren. Innerhalb von 35 km klettern wir 1672 Höhenmeter und erreichen damit eine Durchschnittssteigung von 7% am Ende des Tages. Des Öfteren werden wir dabei neben unsere Fahrräder gezwungen und zum Schieben verpflichtet, doch eine muntere Nasenbärengruppe gibt uns auf halbem Wege erneuten Ansporn. Circa 20 Tiere wuseln von der einen zur anderen Straßenseite, immer Ausschau haltend nach Brot- oder Kekskrümeln der stoppenden Autofahrer. ...

Good cabin, but the bathroom was clogged

Reviewed Apr 5, 2011
by (5 reviews) , United States Flag of United States

it is a simple cabin, but comfortable. There is a "kitchen", but no stove or oven and limited supplies. The toilet was malfunctioning and they could not fix it well, even though they tried.
