The coolest place in Costa Rica (in my humble opinion) is the Osa Peninsula. Why? Because it is Costa Rica in its wildest and most untamed nature. A large chunk of the peninsula is the Corcovado National Park. That is the same one that National Geographic boldly proclaimed the most biologically intense place on earth. […]

This was an easy one. The area of the Arenal Volcano has so much to see and do that I could tap out ten things with one hand tied behind my back. This area is a pure natural playground that attracts about 90% of Costa Rica’s tourism traffic. They say the volcano is not as […]
What a special place Costa Rica is! It is a tiny country with a whole lot of fun packed in. For instance, we have a gorgeous Pacific coastline with more great beaches than I can count. In fact, most people think of our Pacific when they think of Costa Rica beach destinations. But that ignores […]
It is common to either start or finish your Costa Rica vacation in San Jose. There is some misinformation out there saying San Jose is boring. That there is nothing to do or see. Quite to the contrary. I lived in San Jose for 10 years and I can tell you that there is plenty […]
My favorite place in Costa Rica? That is a question I tend to always get from Package Costa Rica customers I am privileged to meet and chat with. That happened more frequently in the past when I lived in San Jose, but less so now that I live in Perez Zeledon, far removed from either […]
Guanacaste Costa Rica is one of the country’s seven provinces. Located in the Northwest side of the country and famous for its white sandy beaches, this region has much more to offer than white sand and waves. Costa Rica would not be the same without it, for it is here where we find elements of […]
Costa Rica has been under the throes of a heat wave and San Isidro General (or Perez Zeledon, or PZ) has not been excepted. In fact, of all the great things I can say (and have said) about good ole PZ, from 11:00 to 3:30, it is friggin hot. But with mountains on both sides […]
My nephew-in-law, Sebas, visited me during Semana Santa and we had a week filled with surfing, horse-back riding and adventure. One afternoon, after hiking around in Chirripo National Park that morning, we set out in La Poderosa to discover the best way to see the Diamante waterfall, supposedly the highest in Costa Rica at 600 feet. […]
Decided to end this year with a bang taking myself as well as the rest of the crew, consisting of Lily, her daughters, her sister, and her sister’s two children, to Cahuita on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica. We all piled into a Cahuita style stick-built and stilted beach house with nothing more inside […]
I first got a little taste of that island magic when I visited the island of Eleuthera back in the early 80’s. Eleuthera is an island in the Bahamas group. One of the first things I noticed upon landing is that these people drive on the wrong side of the road. The taxi driver quickly […]
