Arenal och Santa Elena

A travel blog entry by emma-on-tour

Ungefär fyra timmar norr om San José med buss ligger La Fortuna, vars största attraktion är vulkanen Arenal, en av världens mest aktiva. Anlände mitt på dagen i bra mycket varmare klimat än San José, så efter att ha checkat in passade jag på att ta det lugnt vid poolen på Arenal Backpackers resort. Vulkanen själv gömde sig elakt nog mer eller …

Monte Verde och söderut

Ännu en tidig morgon i Santa Elena. Tog första bussn (6.15) upp till Monte Verde Cloud Forest Reserve. Hade bara tänkt gå runt på egen hand, men väl uppe hakade jag ändå på en guidad tur. Det var helt klart väl spenderade pengar! Redan i början hade vi tur nog att få se (och höra!) en hel flock med howler monkeys, och med guidens grymma kikare …

My brother, Justin, and his girlfriend, Silvia, picked up Mom and I from the San Jose airport at 12:51 p.m. after we flew in on the inaugural United flight from Washington Dulles. We loaded our bags into Silvia's grandfather’s SUV and rolled out at 1:07, heading northwest on Costa Rica 1 (the Inter-American Highway) for the mountain town of …

Got up at 8:50 a.m. in Santa Elena, Costa Rica. Mom, Justin, Silvia, and I headed out to breakfast, stopping first at Cosechas for some delicious smoothies made with fresh fruit and yogurt. Then we had some food at Restaurante Tico y Rico.

Back to the hotel to get stuff together for the day. Departed at 10:44. It was a 15-minute drive to …

Anxious to move on and feeling great, we said goodbye to our gracious host at the Quetzal Inn and took the bus-boat-bus ride from Monteverde to La Fortuna, a touristy town known for Costa Rica´s most active volcano, Arenal. We had a relatively clear day to cross Laguna de Arenal which gave us a spectacular view of Arenal as we were dropped off in …

    Bare-Bones Inn in Santa Elena

    Reviewed Apr 13, 2013
    by (3 reviews) Washington DC , United States Flag of United States

    The rooms are incredibly basic. Ours has a queen-size bed plus a twin bed. The queen has a nightstand - and that is the extent of the furniture. No closet, no dresser, no lamp on the nightstand, no desk, no nothing. The lighting is terrible with just one CFL bulb above the entrance and another in the small bathroom, which lacks hot water at the sink as well as a sink stopper. The room is $50/night, which strikes me as a tad high for what you're getting.

    The electricity went out on our second night here. There's no housekeeping service.
