    On the black sands beach north of Puerto Viejo there were so many naturel wood scuptures to discover! Some of them i brought home as a gift to family and friends. And the biggest ones out there were bigger than a truck, posed to sea, sand and sun. So amaising.

    I'm just watching some videos reminiscing about 2023 where I spend 9 weeks off and on over 3 trips to PV. Port vell OMG I ate the vegan gallon pinto a few days a week even though I'm not vegan 😮. Cocles is ok, I mostly went on weekends for fire dance show on Saturday night and to eat Caribbean chicken from my guy at Take it Easy. I spent most of my daytime at Playa Chiquita which is just before punta uva. The bike ride was long from my spot on the black sand beach but I think it's the best beach, way better than Punta Uva and always had green macaws. Thanks for visiting Temps at Jammin, my favourite was jerk jackfruit too and his sorrel. I regret not stopping by as much on my last trip as I had to save cash by cooking at my hostel.

    Hy Iryna. Just wanted to say hello. Interesting that you like a black beach. I was in Costa Rica July 2 to 11 2022, and first landed in Oduber airport. Friends of my cousin then drove us to the capital and then onto the Caribbean side. I loved Playa Arrecife and Manzanillo where we had a terrific meal at Mr. Maxies.

      Hi there, thank you for sharing your opinion. I view things a little differently, for me traveling alone is a form of self-discovery and it’s very interesting experience! Of course traveling together is amazing too, but sometimes it’s not possible to do, and so I believe one should not stop themselves from traveling only because they’re going ro be alone on that trip. This is fun too ☺️

You can also book a direct shuttle to Puerto Viejo from the airport or San José city. You can Google shuttle Costa Rica and contact a few companies to find out all the details. This is more of a pleasant way to get there, but the bus will do too, so it’s basically up to you ☺️

      Hi Anna, as far as I remember, there are mosquitos, but it really depends on the location and season I believe, some areas are more populated with the mosquitoes and some are less. I never use a repellent myself, but I know a lot of people do, so if you feel more comfortable bringing it with you, then of course!
