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!

“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.

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!

Costa Rica’s currency got a facelift last year! Check out the new colorful banknotes featuring some of the country’s most popular animals and ecosystems!

Samara Beach is a hidden gem in the Nicoya Peninsula. It’s not completely overrun by tourists yet – and that’s why we say: Please don’t g to Samara Beach. We want to keep it to ourselves!

This picture-perfect sunset at Manuel Antonio beach in Costa Rica was so beautiful the crowd applauded as it set. Where has your most beautiful sunset been?

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!

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!

One of the things we were most excited about for Costa Rica was the wildlife roaming freely through the forests. Check out this adorable little spider monkey in Manuel Antonio! So cute!

The small beach town of Samara is one of our favorite beaches in Costa Rica! We put together a quick overview of Samara Beach with places to stay & restaurants we enjoyed.
