Cano Palma Tortuguero, Province of Limon, Costa Rica, 1, 506-248-0707-

When you´re travelling it´s good to go on an organized trip or two. You get a few extras chucked in. On the trip to Tortuguera, we got a free visit to a banana plantation. Not exactly our first choice of excursions but as it was a Del Monte plantation we had to say "Yes!". In the end we didn´t have to taste the bananas and pretend they were nice; Alasdair had been practicing "These bananas are de-licious" all the way there. We just got to see the workers sorting them out. Fascinating. We´d he...
Tortuguera National Park, Costa Rica alasdairnicolaThe trip to Tortuguero takes most of the day. Its broken up well by a breakfast stop and a stop at a Bannana packing factory. Also saw a rhinosaurus beetle. Then a trip on a boat to the resort base camp for the next couple of days, turtle beach lodge. The area is low swampy rainforest with a maze of canals that cover hundreds of kilometres just off the Carribean sea. On the way to the resort we came across a group of Capachin monkeys and howler monkeys. Cool lodge. Bar, pool table, swimming p...
Tortuguero, Costa Rica bradmccartneyFirst of all, Merry Christmas! I hope everyone had a good one. So, we woke up at 5:30am on Sunday, had breakfast at the hotel at 6:00am, and were met by our tour guide, Edgar, in the lobby at 6:30am. There were 10 of us total on the trip, although 1 person got delayed and would be joining us later. The adventurers include: Me Lance - my roommate for the trip, 27 yrs old, originally from China (Lance is his "English" name), now living and working at a bank in Toronto Andrea - in her 50's, orig...
Tortuguero, Costa Rica dgreen78I'm finally getting caught up on my blog; this is the first entry in a while I'm writing on the actual day listed. (I am, however, posting it almost a week late. Sorry about that.) Saturday I met my parents in San Jose. I'd been thinking about taking a day trip to Cartago, to see the legendary statue of La Negrita that, according to lore, has been stolen many times but always reappears in its rightful spot at the Basilica de Nuestra Senora de Los Angeles. Or maybe I'd take in a museum or two ...
Tortuguero, Province of Limon, Costa Rica esprisemeRead On at Klenske, Ink. After an early morning wake up call, we were picked up at our hotel's front door by the lodge's bus. We then set out for our 'wild' trip to the jungle lodge. The first half was a four hour ride through the country. After getting out of San Jose, we first went through a national park full of rainforest covered mountains. It was actually sunny out, which I guess is rare, and we could see the top of the dormant volcanoes. We stopped for a great costa rican breakfast alon...
Tortuguero, Costa Rica nklenske
... has been to a place, that seemed like the end of the world, but this place REALLY IS exactly like that :) A small village, only accessible by boat, with no streets and no cars, only some little houses spread all over and the most beautiful beach, right in front of it, that we have seen so far! We stayed in a cute cabina and from there took of the next morning in a small nutshell, with Bubba our oarsman, through the secrets of Tortuguero National park. Surrounded by green forest and ...
Tortuguero, Province of Limon, Costa Rica aileenchen... had a lot of the reflective squares missing) The bar area was full off rasta guys in there over 40´s, with a few of the 20-25 year olds arriving a little later on, but there were no girls apart from maybe some of the dogs which wandered in and out crunching on ice cubes. It was all rather dead with the only interesting thing being a guy who arrived with his 4 stroke engine and placed it in a cupboard ...
Tortuguero, Province of Limon, Costa Rica salsita... naapureissaan. Näin länsimaisessa maassa on edullisinta syödä lähinnä pikaruokaketjuissa ja rantaruokavaliomme koostuikin lähinnä subeista. Nautittuamme Playas del Cocosta lähes 14 tuntia, päätimme vaihtaa kohdetta ja seuraavana päivänä olimmekin viisi tuntia paikallisbusseilla kuljettuamme siirtyneet 30 kilomeriä lounaaseen Playa Tamarindoon. Playa Tamarindo oli kohteena jo huomattavasti miellyttävämpi ja vähempituulisa kuin edeltäjänsä, joten sinne ...
Monteverde, Province of Limon, Costa Rica scheissebastard... in still others... but the one consistency was how steep the incline was and how twisty and turny the path was. Unlike in some parts of Guatemala and Honduras there wasn't usually a sheer drop off, but you still knew it was there. We went this way, probably not making it over 20 miles an hour in some parts, until we'd climed the almost 1400 metres, sometimes through clouds and mist, and finally reached the little town ...
Monteverde, Costa Rica littleengineIt is crazy to think I've been here for just one full day. Xinia has now cooked me four meals. For those who thought I would lose weight - I am eating more food than I could ever imagine. More beans and rice than ever before. The food all has been really good. Xinia said I eat like a bird. Today was a lay around day. I actually slept pretty well. I heard the dogs, the birds and the geckos and the chickens and the waves but I slept well. I got up ...
