Monteverde Travel Blogs

  When we booked our trip to Arenal yesterday we had also seen a poster about a Jeep-Boat-Jeep tour to Santa Elena. As Santa Elena was our next destination, that had seemed like a very good alternative to the Public Bus-Public Bus-Public Bus variety. Well, it turned out to be a tourist bus…

Well yesterday was a really fun day. We got up late which was nice, and then heading to 100% Aventura for our zip'lining adventure. First of all we had a canopy tour through the cloud forest with a Spanish'German guide who asked me ´have you been to Costa Rica or Monteverde before? Your face looks…

    Other than the occasional pony at birthday parties when I was a little kid, I had never ridden a horse before, so I was really looking forward to horseback riding. There was an early group and a later group, and I was in the first...that had to be at the bus at 7:45am. (I am so…

We did the first zipline trip in the morning. You're harnessed in and shoot down a series of increasingly longer and higher lines. For some, you might have to use your hands to help you stop by putting pressure on the lines. Don't worry, they give you big mildew smelling padded gardening gloves. …

We bumped into George last night, we originally met him in Manuel Antonio, he is one of the nicest down to earth Americans that we got to know so far, we was having a overpriced sandwhich in a soda, then suddenly he appeared to us, it was so good seeing him, as we never got to say goodbye in Manuel…

I have just added a bunch of photos of my time in Costa Rica.  I was too lazy to label all of the pictures so most of them are labeled at the most common place which was Monteverde, Costa Rica.  

Costa Rica - Panama 05-06

Now it took at 3 hours to travel along 40km of road to get to this town after already half a day of travel...so you can imagine the quality of the roads in these central highlands. It was totally worth it. It is a nice break to get back into the highlands, and to dust off our jackets which haven´t…

Este juego de palabras con el que he titulado este capítulo resume parte de lo que protagonizó nuestro segundo día en Monteverde. Quizá no fue tan frenético como el anterior, pero sí lo suficientemente para recordarlo durante mucho tiempo. Podía haber utilizado otros términos como Cataratas…

Treking, Sort OfFive hours on horseback hurts one´s arse, official. By Jiminy, it was fun though.  We left Monteverde and descended into a wooded valley. Every now and then, the views of the Gulf of Nicoya were spectacular.  As well as us three, there were two Norwegian girls along for t…
