Costa Rica

This week’s Polaroid features one of our favorite things in Costa Rica – a baby monkey! The wildlife here just does not cease to amaze us!

One of our favorite things to do is watching the sunset on the beach. And this particular beach, Playa Pelada, is an excellent sunset spot!

This year has been a total beach for the two of us. Having spent over five months on the coast around the world, we share our top five beaches of the year in this post.

Seeing a turtle arribada, the mass nesting phenomenon of the olive ridley sea turtles, in Ostional, a small beach in Costa Rica, was an unforgettable experience!

We finished our housesit in Mexico and started our next housesitting assignment in Costa Rica with a big bang – Costa Rica welcomed us with an earthquake!

Our Hotel Tip of the Week series offers accommodation tips from around the world. All are places where we have stayed in and personally recommend. This week: Mountain Paradise Hotel in Arenal, Costa Rica.

We ended our time in Costa Rica with an action-packed couple of days in La Fortuna where we hiked to a volcano and a waterfall and admired the countless hummingbirds!

“EEEeee! This is just like Eat Pray Love!” Jaime squealed as we pedaled away from the bike rental shop on our shiny bikes to explore the Caribbean beaches of the Costa Rican coast. What we discovered were some of the most laid-back, beautiful beaches in Central America.

Even though we are ‘meh’ about San Jose, Costa Rica’s capital, we found some amazing street art while we were walking around the city – have a look.

It has been another unbelievable 100 days of travel for us…this has been unlike any other time in our lives. Read on to find out what days 801 – 900 of a life of travel involve for us GlobetrotterGirls…
