Costa Rica 2021

 

June 2021. My son had graduated college and was completing an epic trip through Colombia and Panama. My daughter had finished high school. So much to celebrate! And a great excuse for a trip. We met in San José and rented a car.

Costa Rica is the perfect country for independent travelers who enjoy the outdoors. The infrastructure is good, it feels safe, the people are friendly, and there is so much to see and experience. We hardly scratched the surface.

We enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere in San José, the Poás and Arenal volcanoes, the waterfalls and lively tourist feel of La Fortuna, the cloud forest, hanging bridges, and ziplines of Monteverde, and the wild Pacific beaches of Uvita. 

The highlights for us were Manuel Antonio and Corcovado. Costa Rica's natural beauty and diversity are on full display. It is so much fun to explore!
