Costa Rican here...If you schedule a trip to the Central Pacific (Dominical, Manuel Antonio, Jacó) avoid driving on Sunday evenings... especially if you plan to drive the Central Valley back to your Hotel or the Airport...the traffic jams are a nightmare...a 1 hour trip becomes a 3 to 6 hour painful and slow torture. Leave early, wait until Monday or schedule the trip for week days...the main reason is that locals like to spend the weekends here and they add up to the tourist crowd.
Hi Juan, Does this happen year round? I’ll be visiting this week which I was under the impression was a slower season. Just wanted to check. Thank you!
yes. It took us 5 hours from Manuel Antonio to San Jose. Thankfully, or plane was leaving the next day so it wasn't too bad but we would have missed our flight if it was the same day.
What an amazing recap! Great informative vlog! Loved it I’m saving it to rewatch! Our trip to Costa Rica got cancelled 4 times due to covid over a period of 2 years so hopefully we can make it happen soon and your advice, suggestions tips and informations will be appreciated believe me! Thank you 🙏🏼 Can’t wait for Egypt and Jordan as both are on my bucket list 🥰 Have fun Sabrina🇫🇷🇬🇧
Hi guys. I always love your reviews of your travel and places you stayed. I watch the videos but it still helps me enjoy every place you go a little more. My bags are packed and I'm ready to go. Wherever you are taking me. And yes I know where that is:-)) Woot Woot!!
The entrance fees to the parks is so affordable and so beautiful. We took our family to Disney world and the entrance fee per person was $144.00, and spent almost all day waiting on long lines just to get on a ride.
You guys are amazing and I love your video. Just want to add a Lesson I learned from Costa Rica road tripping, plan your time and don’t drive at night😅. Especially in the rain forest area. There is no light on the road and can be very foggy
I love the cinnamontography! its like watching national geographic. rio celeste looks craaaaaaazy! surfing in Costa Rica is on my bucket list now, I've only ever surfed in the UK and id love to surf somewhere with warm weather and clear water 😅
What beautiful places in Costa Rica! Now we really want to visit it! Thank you for sharing, very inspiring! We are also a traveling couple and are now in Istanbul!)
next time you guys visit i have some really special tours to take you on that nobody else offers!! native secrets and special cacao and sugar cane farms, think willy wonka in the jungle! but multiples!!! little known waterfalls and hidden enchanted caves
I arrived last night but I still prefer Silver Falls State Park in Oregon USA. 9 waterfalls and if you go in August the snow melt will come down from Mt. Hood. It’s a 5.7 mile loop or simply 1 to 1.5 miles if you only want to see the 125ft waterfall and you can walk around the back side. Very cool and nicer people due to the hiking/long walking community.
Great video. We just visited CR 2 Weeks ago and visited most of the places you mentioned. Your shots are so beautiful. Well done! The information you give is pretty on point. I wish I had a video before I visited. One thing to mention: The East Coast is REALLY beautiful as well. Did you skip it on purpose?
Please tell me your Santa Teresa video is coming?! We've been following y'all since pre covid and used you to plan our Philippines trip--we head to Santa Teresa this summer so your trip is perfect timing again.
Amazing video, where in Costa Rica would you recommend an older single female to stay for a week of relaxation? I'm active but not like you guys. I just want to relax, destress and enjoy the gorgeous surroundings. Thanks!
Thanks for a great review of Costa Rica . Once again so informative ! We love watching your adventures . We feel like we went with you with your journey each and every time . You are awesome ! Take care and God bless ! Stay safe . ❤️🙏🌹🛫🛶🚤🏝😊
I went to Manuel Antonio Park and booked online. They twice attempted to use my Credit card number in the next few months and i eventually had to replace the card to stop the attempts a fraud. Be aware, not sure how you can do tickets on own w/o using their website but i wouldn’t use it again.
11:07 I didn’t see the 4x4 trip there. Just lots of very expensive other tours. Like 100+ each. We LOVED uvita/dominicalito tho and did plenty to make us love it
Great video! I noticed you didn’t add anything from the Caribbean side. Tortuguero or Puerto Viejo?? I’m trying to decide between Uvita area or Puerto Viejo but hard to find a video comparing the two. Did you go to Caribbean?
We used the car rental place - economy rent a car and didn’t pay a dollar more than what was expected. Couldn’t say enough good things about them. I got the daily insurance fee before hand tho , but it was clear that you needed it. To me at least lol
thanks for the great vid. Can anyone recommend a way to visit Corcadova national park without the high expense? which town is best to stay? i know he mentioned theres a 100$ day trip but even that seems high. Any info appreciated. Solo traveller from UK
Hello, great video! I’m planning a trip to Costa Rica and am trying to figure out transportation options. Did y’all rent a vehicle for the duration of the trip? Any issues with finding parking at hotels or when y’all went out?
A friend purchased land on the smaller peninsula, where, wearing only a bikini, she cut back the overgrowth and cleared a land that has become an oasis for vegans, doing yoga, and, giving birth in a natural setting. Woody Harrelson had his child born naturally there. - My friend later moved to Peru, where she created a home & school for homeless children. The children now have bedrooms, clothes, they study, play, and grow their own organic meals.

Hi guys, it's too bad you went to the most crowded places in the country, there are way better places where you can enjoy nature at its best, no fees and almost no people. Call me next time you come to Costa Rica, I will be happy to show you the real Costa Rica!
Just spent the past month there; I cheated ($$-wise) by staying with family most of the time, but there are affordable ways to stay there in terms of food, lodging, and activities. Stay someplace where you can just hike and enjoy the surroundings for some of the time and the trip can be affordable. No need to pack your trip with lots of expensive things to do. Splurge on some things you really want to do. Ask locals where to go and not be overrun by tourists. Tourist areas cost the most, but you can lodge nearby, eat local (delicious!) food, and still get the benefits of fun activities and, for you young folks, nightlife. (Check out the beautiful Atlantic coast with plenty of bilingual Afro-Caribbean descendants.) Make sure, if you don't speak any Spanish, to learn just a few phrases for certain areas where there are few Spanish speakers. Folks meet you halfway if you try. And don't be arrogant! I saw some ARROGANT westerners who wanted to do things their way. Don't be one of them. You are a GUEST.
Yes, let’s correct since you asked. You said every single name in this video wrong. Like super wrong. Also you mentioned that entrance fees add up and this is annoying…. Well. When we visit Yosemite, or Yellowstone , or any natural parks in the US. There is a fee to get in….. right? the fact that Costa Rica has tons of natural beauty and maintains its ecosystem, is something to be commended and protected. The ten dollars you pay to see our natural beauty helps maintain that. That’s ten dollars better spent than on a Starbucks coffee.
You need to really make sure where in CR,you could find the most wildlife in one day. Where the most visited national park in CR,you WON'T for sure find the most wildlife,so if you're a wildlife lover don't ever travel where there are thousands of people, instead travel where there no people,in this case,Osa Peninsula,even out of the Corcovado National Park,you would find plenty wildlife....

Awesome video, Thanks for the tips!
La Fortuna/Arenal region is a must-go place! Too much to do!
I arrived last night but I still prefer Silver Falls State Park in Oregon USA. 9 waterfalls and if you go in August the snow melt will come down from Mt. Hood.

Not enough time I bet. If I could stay for 2 months I think I could get most
Thanks for all the info!
loving your videos on Costa Rica .. thanks from the UK .. If your ever coming to London get in touch.
Hello from India. Looking forward to see you in India.
Please tell me your Santa Teresa video is coming?! We've been following y'all since pre covid and used you to plan our Philippines trip--we head to Santa Teresa this summer so your trip is perfect timing again.
Excellent video, however you need to know the spectacular Caribbean coast and other incredible parks and places like the Monte Verde Cloud Forest
Great video!
Waooooo what a wonderfull video 🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷 i adore that beauty country.
Great video! It would be amazing to visit Costa Rica one day, but oh wow those prices add up 👀

Nice video guys! Do u have any plans for Bali?

What month and year did you go?
Hey what time of year did you guys visit?
Lindo lugar
Great video…Is the mic you’re using a Rode Go II?
How do I find the airbnb you mentioned in La Fortuna? Your video says there’s a link to it in description but I can’t find any.
I am going to Costa Rica for our honeymoon in October! Your swim-suit coverups are so cute - any chance you have the links to any of them? thank you!
Omg I’m going in 8 days
Hey, great video from CR, i am heading there in July - so excited! Could you give me the name of the hotel you stayed at in Tambor Beach?
We used the car rental place - economy rent a car and didn’t pay a dollar more than what was expected. Couldn’t say enough good things about them. I got the daily insurance fee before hand tho , but it was clear that you needed it. To me at least lol
HI! congratulations for what you do! I am writing to ask, would you recommend costa rica or bali more? A thousand thanks! 🙏🏻
BALI 100%
Actually 1000000%
@@ian.and.ana. thank you so much i'm so glad you answered me! Soon! I continue to follow you ☺️
Hello, we will be headed there in Feb. and staying for just about a month. Do you recommend renting a 4x4 or will a small suv be ok?
thanks for the great vid. Can anyone recommend a way to visit Corcadova national park without the high expense? which town is best to stay? i know he mentioned theres a 100$ day trip but even that seems high. Any info appreciated. Solo traveller from UK
Glad you liked it! Hope you can find a cheaper way
Great info, but the description box doesn't have any of the info you say will be there, eg that eco-hotel in Uvita...?
What are some areas where a 4x4 or higher clearance vehicle was needed? I want to go off the beaten path, thanks.
Name of la fortuna Airbnb please
You look like the dude from team america
What video editing software do you use?
Can you please list the link for the hotel that you stayed at in Santa Teresa? I don’t see it listed. Thank you
Do you prefer costa rica for 5-7 day visit or cancan/tulum? Thanks!
Lol about to leave Costa Rica tomorrow actually. Wasn’t my cup of tea personally, great people tho. I’m more into modern shit tho. Did a gate 1 tour
Which season/time where you there? Thanks!
Hello, great video! I’m planning a trip to Costa Rica and am trying to figure out transportation options. Did y’all rent a vehicle for the duration of the trip? Any issues with finding parking at hotels or when y’all went out?
def rent a 4x4 vehicle or at least a vehicle. I've been 3 times and have seen 80 percent of the country. It's not very pricy and easy to drive.
Hi There we are looking to relocate there. But we are searching for salt farmers. Do you have any tips?
How much are the activities in la fortuna? I’m seeing on trip advisor and everything is 100 dollars Canadian per person is this correct?
Where do i find all the links you keep mentioning
Costa Rica a hard no
you said you put everything in the description. There is no information at all.
Where are the links/WhatsApp you mentioned in the video? I feel blind. Did I just miss them?
Going, could care less about celebrities but I'd have to work at ut.
Did you see any snakes in the park or elsewhere?
