haha, I love how you went from "I'm sure we can manage" to "hire a car for the day" :D :D
🤣🤣 that hill killed us! 😅
Thank you for mentioning that MN National park is closed on Tuesday’s and the watch out for scammers 🙌🏻
Thanks for watching! 😊👍
Pura vida Guys have fun
Thank you 😊 we had an amazing time in Costa Rica! 🇨🇷 😊
Thanks for sharing your journey with us all. I am heading to Costa Rica in 3 weeks time and you're right the tours are super expensive. AND that's even if they allow for solo travellers to sign up to it, as most want a couple booking. Your video has been very insightful.
However, I was with you both, feeling INSPIRED to do the hiking and public transportation route, UNTIL you then advised to hire a car hahahahaha.
Keep the videos coming. Thoroughly enjoyed that!
Haha 😂 yeah we can’t argue that having your own transportation would have been a lot easier! But it was still fun and definitely authentic to take public transportation everywhere…the challenge adds to the experience we always think 🤔 but yeah in hindsight if we were to go back and had the budget we’d probably go the hire car route. Enjoy your time in CR 🇨🇷
Loved the beaches, the waterfall and the wildlife! Look forward to your next location?
Thanks for watching! 😊🙏
Greetings!Kitti~ unreal ,see ya!.📽
Thank you! 😊👍
The mountain clip from the fist minute looks fantastic! May I ask where it is?
If it’s the clip I think you’re talking about then we’re in Itza Popo National Park outside of Mexico City. The mountain is Iztaccíhuatl and it’s Mexico’s third highest peak (5,230m) 😊 our trip there is in our ‘Best Hiking Around Mexico City’ video 👍
Great Video! I didn't catch what time of year you visited. Can you tell me what month this was filmed?
Hi Chris! This was filmed in February :) thanks for watching! :)
Manuel Antonio or La Fortuna for Sloths, Hanging bridges and volcano hikes? I would like to do 5 days with nights back home at the resort or vibrant town.
If you want all of those then you want La Fortuna for sure. You can find hanging bridges and sloths at Manuel Antonio but no volcanoes and the sloths aren't as easy to spot there. So we'd probably recommend La Fortuna for you 😊
Hello fantastic content,was just wondering if there was any were inside the park to get a drink and snack.
Thank you! Yes there is a cafe/restaurant where you can grab food and drinks 😊 just beware of the monkeys trying to steal it!!
@@KittiandJon thank you
I was in quepos and manuel Antonio Beach a couple of weeks ago. Beautiful beach but the vendors are everywhere and they are persistent in trying to sell you crap you don't need. Plus it was $20 to use a couple of beach lounge chairs with umbrella and about $10 to park your car.
The whole of Costa Rica is so beautiful...but yeah it definitely comes at a cost. It is a very expensive country!!
How long would you recommend staying in Manuel Antonio?
We’d say the bare minimum you’d need is about 2 days (1 for the national park and one to go to the waterfalls) but would definitely recommend staying longer if you enjoy beaches and being by the sea 😊 we spent 1 week there 👍
Did you see with naked eyes or through camera lens plus powerful zoom? Are the animals just a few steps away?
In Manuel Antonio National Park the animals are really only a few steps away...the monkeys come right up to you and the iguanas are everywhere around the beaches. The birds are the only ones you might need a good camera lens to photograph. :)
Are the sea lice bad in August?
Honestly we have no idea! Sorry!
Why didn't you ask for ride to the passing cars?
We could have but we always prefer to take the bus if possible especially when we knew there were buses to take 😊
Is there a place you’d recommend to stay in Manuel Antonio?
We stayed in Quepos which is a little bit cheaper than Manuel Antonio and easy to get to by bus. Most of the main hotels are along the road between Quepos and Manuel Antonio. Wherever you stay you'll have easy access to the reserve and the beaches though 👍
Great video. We are staying at Oceans Two Resort nearby Manuel Antonio next week
Nothing is free in his life everything cost money whatever you want to go you have to spend money. That’s what I do here if you go to Disneyland.
Very true! But most of the time the experience is definitely worth it 👍 that was definitely the case in Costa Rica 😊
