Los Chiles Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Gisteravond zaten we nog tot laat in de hot springs van La Fortuna. We hadden een kaartje gekocht inclusief diner en het was heerlijk om weer eens lekker schoon te zijn. Er waren verschillende watervallen, zwembaden, sauna's in verschillende temperaturen. Het water kwam rechtstreeks van de vulkaan en het heetste bad was 67 graden.....heb ik niet...

We have just done the most tranquil border crossing in the world. By boat. All you do is get your passport stamped, get on the boat, drift across the border looking at monkeys and birds and turtles and going about the same speed as a leisure cruise, and then get off at the other end to have your passport stamped. Piece of cake. Loved it.

Los Chiles, a sweltering border town, as Lonely Planet puts it, has little of interest to the foreign tourist. Great! When our bus arrived and we found we'd missed the last boat downriver to Nicaragua, we were happy to be here. Finally we were in a Costa Rican town.

We got down to the dock, got our exit papers stamped, and found that the first ferry wasn't until noon! They were timing it's ...

I had an early evening flight out of Seattle and my friend and I met up in Los Angeles. We had an overnight flight to Liberia, Costa Rica and landed in the morning. It seemed that just about everyone on our flight was being met at the airport, either by friends or family or by a rental car. We stood outside the airport looking for a taxi and fin...

Welcome to Day 7 of my Costa Rican tour. Today we rode the tour bus up north to Los Chiles, a small town north of Cano Negro Wildlife Refuge. This is also border town just 3 km (metric system!!!) south of Nicaraguan border. We were lucky that today is slightly cloudy and NOT RAINING. This wet land is around the Rio Frio where large numbers of wi...
