Costa rica

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.

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!

Montezuma is easily one of Costa Rica’s most beautiful beaches, but my love affair effectively ended after spending three days there in February 2011. The Damn the Man attitude has been cast aside by the hippies who grew up, got jobs, and put Montezuma on the tourist map.

La Fortuna should not be missed on a visit to Costa Rica- a gorgeous waterfall, hot springs and a volcano, plus some of the country’s most beautiful scenery!

After our first sloth encounter in Monteverde, Costa Rica, we were fascinated by these funny-looking creatures and decided to pop into the brand new sloth sanctuary for a visit to learn more about these creepy-cute Costa Rican animals.

We’ve spotted ‘exotic’ wildlife throughout Central America, but nothing like what we saw once we got to Costa Rica – check out our Wild Costa Rica photos!
