A Month Late but they are FINALLY here: COSTA RICA Photos
Just arrived in San Jose and on our way to pick up "Muchi" (rental car). Super excited because I thought I would be at the beach before sunset. As you already know, that did not happen.
This is what we woke up to the next morning at our hostel (Cuesta Arriba). Imagine monkeys crawling in trees above you and two foot igaunas crawling up trees as you walk by. Really cool!
Day 1 on the beach: As white as beach and ROASTING HOT!!! The ocean was as warm as bath water so Leana and I sweltered for 90 minutes before heading into the shade. The cool thing was that Santa Teresa has not commercialized the beach so it was totally tree-lined.
This is the "metropolis" that Leana and I finally stumbled upon after hours of driving. We were SO EXCITED to find a town, even if it was only a block long.
"El Muchi Torro" or "Muchi" for short, our trusty rental.
Favorite local saying "It's the shit!" (pronounced shee-t).
Beaches of Santa Teresa at high tide. There was no shortage of good waves for surfing.
Costa Rican fruit: FRESHEST and TASTIEST fruit I have ever had!!! So good!
Day trip to Isle Tortuga.
First time snorkeling. As I said before, I thought it was cool but appearantly it wasn't that great compared Great Barrier Reef snorkeling. Satisfying for a first timer and I will totally do it again!
Hanging out on the beach on Isle Tortuga after snorkeling.
Final night in Santa Teresa. Every sunset was a little cloudy but still incredible with the huge waves crashing in.
Unfortunately, we spent Easter morning in line for the ferry so this is how I celebrated: listening to Jesus music on my iPod.
Hostel #2: Backpackers at Arenal in La Fortuna. Much nicer and even had air conditioning, super helpful for sleeping!
Arenal, active volcano in La Fortuna, on Easter evening.
Getting ready to swing like Tarzan and fly like Superman (ziplining).
Arenal during the daytime while crossing the lake from La Fortuna to Monte Verde.
Final day in Costa Rica repelling during waterfalls. So fun! :)
