    as Costa Rican, you always talk so wonderful thing about us and the nature. We are really proud of our biodiversity, Manuel Antonio is my favorite National Park and I go there at least twice a year, during the dry season and then on the rainy season.
    My girlfriend and I love your and Carrie’s videos. Hopefully you can visit soon. Please go to Bajos del Toro, there you can find so many waterfalls and also visit La Cruz in Guanacaste, the beaches there and nature is quite special too!

    Very informative video. I watched it a couple of months before going to costa rica & it really helped. Been to San Jose, Tortuguero, Lafortuna, Monteverde, Jaco, Manuel Antonio & my favorites were definitely Lafortuna, Monteverde & Tortuguero. I’ve been back for 2 months now & 1 still dream about going back. Costa Rica is not a place it’s a strong emotion, a feeling. The most incredible, out of this world, fulfilling experience of my life. I’ve never been this happier in my life & it put things in perspective quite alot

    I really liked Montezuma . It's a bit of a yoga town with nice beaches and a really nice 3 tier waterfall with swimming holes (little bit of a sketched access hike/climb but if you're able-bodied , it's totally worth it).

    It's hard to pick a favorite place in CR, but I enjoyed the heck out of Monteverde/Santa Elena. The cool temperatures in the mornings and evenings are heavenly. For anyone visiting that area, I would strongly suggest El Tigre Waterfalls for a fun experience that includes hiking, swimming, riding horses, and lunch with a killer view! My wife and I enjoyed El Tigre more than the Cloud Forest Preserve.

    • @woodypaul_
      @woodypaul_ Před rokem

      PR is one of my favorite places to continue to go back to. Each town is vastly different energy and it's an easy hop from the States where they accept USD and most places speak English. One of my first recommendations to travelers that want to dip their toes into Central America.

    Hi! I’ll be buying your guide but would love to know if the end of November is a great time to go to Costa Rica?! Either Caribbean side or if the Pacific Ocean side is better weather/nightlife? Thank you!

    • @AlexanderAyling
      @AlexanderAyling  Před 2 měsíci

      Thanks Ivy, my itinerary will be really helpful in planning your trip.
      November is a good shoulder season month to visit, but it will still be a bit wetter and humid, so plan for that, dry in the mornings and thunderstorms in the afternoons.
      Nightlife is pretty mellow in most of the beach towns, a couple fun little bars. I can’t vouch for nightclubs as I don’t really like them much but you’ll be able to find somewhere to have a few drinks and hit the dance floor.
      Much more info in the itinerary! Hope you enjoy your trip!

    Also if ya dig and enjoyed this video Costa Rico which was cool and still a long haired after all these years though with a changed heart and peace 😀 you may also enjoy the song " Most of All " By Glenn Kaiser and Where Roses Grow Live by Rez Band Awesome songs check them out. Also I remember hearing the song by Led Zepp " In My Time of Dyin " during my drug years and made me think about death and Jesus. Then a hippy friend that dug Jesus told me more of Jesus love and forgiveness and how I could also know Jesus love. So in 1981 I cried out to Jesus and wow man He came into my life and I had and have so much joy and peace and now know that through Jesus when I die I will be with Him in Heaven. Hey Jesus loves each of you also and yall can know Him if you are at all open. Just cry out to Him and a good question to ask yourself if you were to die today would you go to heaven ? And if yes why ? To find out more please read the Gospel of John in the Bible or check out the movie on CZcams. 😀
