Santa Elena Travel Blogs

Canopy was the first thing on our list for that day…sliding on 14 ropes, some with a length of more than 700 metres 150 metres over the ground or through the treetops of the rainforest is just as much fun as you expect it to be! “Extremo” was the name of the company and so was the Canopy…ex…

  Before going back to San José it was time for some fun. Near Santa Elena is the Sky Walk. This is a walk along several suspension bridges which have been built high up in the trees. From the bridges you have a great view of the tree tops and the creatures living in them. We saw a couple of…

Today we ventured out for another guided birdwalk, but not as early in the morning.  We weren´t as lucky in some ways today, because it was sunny in the rainforest!  This meant that a lot of the birds weren´t very active since it was hotter than usual and the bright sun was a …

Nos levantamos muy temprano y fuimos por nuestra cuenta, en el coche, a hacer la excursion de los puentes colgantes en Selvatura, que nos habian indicado que era de los mejores sitios con estos puentes, que son grandes y unos cuantos. A la hora que llegamos no habia salida para esa excursion, p…

Costa Rica Pics

This morning we pulled ourselves out of bed for our canopy tour at the respectable start time of 10.30am. The company that we were going with was 100% Aventura, which we were recommended by the hostel (probably because they got the biggest  commission from them), but apparantly because of the …

Pictures can usually tell a thousand words. Well my pictures are pretty tame compared to my amazing, wild and crazy adventure.

Check out the photos, tell me what ya think, ask away, and I'll write more later on...right now I have to finish packing for my next trip!

I went for a volunteer project at a Monkey park in Costa Rica and got to discover my true love.

Then from Puntarenas we took another bus to Monteverde. We actually had some pretty nice food at the bus station in Puntarenas but I have no idea what the place was called that we ate at. Although it had been a little windy in Montezuma when we left, we were still wearing shorts and slip slops as i…

After I graduated from nursing school, I went to Costa Rica with my best friend of almost 20 years and my sister. We had an amazing time getting drenched at night hiking in the rainforest and ziplining through the canopies.

This is my blog of all the places I have been, I have tried to include as much as I can but am sure there will be loads I have missed. Please feel free to comment or email. I hope you enjoy! Photos and Videos coming soon
