- The first leg of my 30 day road trip starts in Puerto Viejo Costa Rica! This is the ultimate vacation destination! Whether you want an adventure, see nature at its best, or just want to relax or tan, Puerto Viejo offers everything. Unlike other towns in Costa Rica which are packed with tourists, Puerto Viejo is laid back, has fewer tourists and is the ideal place for naturalists, yogis, sun lovers and those who seek to be one with nature. There is still so many things to do in in puerto viejo costa rica.

I love your storytelling perspective, this is so refreshing to see, content creators making art and providing information simultaneously!🔥
Thank you so much for the kind words and support!! It means a lot 🙏
I did a 10 hour cross country drive from Jaco to Puerto Viejo and in the middle of that drive, we drove up to view an active volcano (Irazu). Yes, the cross country roads were scary at times with plenty of potholes and obstacles to avoid, but it was, the absolute, most beautiful drive I ever had in my life. It was everything that you’ve seen in magazines but even more beautiful.
Great video, thanks for sharing 🙏🏼
Costa Rica! Lived there for a few yrs and would love living there again ! Thanks for sharing!

haha yea it is.. that logo ❣️❣️❣️

Thank you so much!! 🙏
Great video thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Correction: It's actually not required to hire a guide to hike in Cahuita. A guide can usually spot animals and plants that you might miss, but I hiked it unguided with my daughter a couple of weeks ago without a problem.
I did both guided and unguided hikes, and I must say the guided is much better! Because as you said they see things that we miss.
yeah. amigo.Like it!that is maazing =)
Thank youuuu 🙏
Great video!
Thanks for watching!!
Solid 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!! 💃🏽💃🏽

Long time no see
Hey hey!
loved the storytelling and video... but i came for a puerto viejo travel guide, the title got the best of me lolll
Oh sorry! I wasn’t trying to mislead… I really tried to highlight the best of what I saw but I’m new at this and still trying to figure it out. I’d be happy to help you out if you need any tips or advice on anything!
Awesome video, just mother nature can set you back. Hehe!
Haha, right?! Mother Nature has her own agenda, she’s not worried about mine
@@GowithRo she should! 😜
@7:25 ....One more of those familiar events and i think we can say you're cursed when it comes to these rides out here for every venture you're on, lol!! Sorry the snorkeling part wasn't as thrilling but you still managed to make the best of it, it seems. Nice video overall again, those drone shot angles and your narrating was pretty cool to see and listen to...P.s, i beat the timer...think i'm still safe (for now atleast) LMAO!! XD
Hahaha I knoooow!! It’s crazy, 😂
@@GowithRo 😆😂😂 Indeed!
@@Venom-V13 you’re safe btw!
@@GowithRo Yaaay!!.... Somehow I get the feeling it's only temporary however 😂😂
Hi! Where did you get that black and white striped tube top with the tropical flowers on it? Love!!❤
Pura vida 🇨🇷
Pura Vida! 🇨🇷 🙌
right here in puerto viejo .. beautiful but outrages expensive!
🔥🔥
Thank you! 🙏
Where are you from?
Love your content!!
I hope you enjoyed my country 🇨🇷
Greetings ✌🏼
Thank you!! I’m from the US but my nationality is Iranian. I loved CR, I will definitely come back for another visit. Pura Vida!
@@GowithRo Amazing!! you are always welcome to my Country
Hi! Great video! Can I get the name of the snorkel company. Thanks!
Where can I find that first grey rental place you were at in the pool?
Waaw mezing 🥰🥰🥰♥️♥️
Thank you so much!! 🙌
Costa Rica has 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of nighttime, if you’re going to complain about the early sunsets then just wake up early and smell the coffee and don’t sleep in in the morning. Don’t waste your time if you only got 30 days get out of your comfort zone…
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!
A few years back I read that there was a Caribbean gang that was targeting tourists. I believe they have since been apprehended. Is it safe to hike alone in the area these days?
Did you travel in October? Planning to travel in October
I was there in August and it was pretty rainy but October should be a beautiful dry time to go!
Where did u rent the suv and is it really a scam to rent?
I went through Nomad America. I don’t think it was a scam at all, they really worked with us the entire time to make sure we had everything we needed. They don’t sponsor my videos or anything but I do highly recommend them.
Where did you get your visor and swimsuit?
Swimsuit is from Shein. I don’t remember where I got the visor but probably Amazon! Lol
Hi, how was the car rental price? Costa Rica has a bad reputation for car rentals due to hidden fees.
Zero hidden fees for us, they were straight up with descriptions and cost up front and No hassle check in/out and great transportation. Nomad America doesn’t sponsor me or anything but I would highly recommend them!
@@GowithRo thanks
What’s the Covid protocol going and coming from CR ?
When I went I had to provide a negative test and take the health screening forms but I don’t think they require anything like that anymore. Double check the travel restrictions for the latest info cr.usembassy.gov/covid-19-information/
Best part of the video is the subtitles for the spanish music at czcams.com/video/bqLZidrFpuo/video.html.
Fantastic quality Ro, proud of you, and keep up the great work
Hahaha that’s awesome. Thanks buddy!
Good thing you put that mask on for the outdoor restaurant.
Great video n you’re beautiful
Thank you! ☺️
Wayyy too many youtube video's for everything this includes Puerto.
You're kinda cute! 😉
☺️☺️☺️
Avoid narco' s paradise! Extremely dangerous place!
