ever considering that we began travelling, we’ve been on the search for lush jungles, eco-lodges, gorgeous beaches, excellent coral reefs, friendly people as well as tasty food; as well as from what we’ve heard, Costa Rica has all of that in spades! However, we’ve likewise heard mixed evaluations about Latin America’s eco-friendly nation as well as while we’re ecstatic to visit, we do have our reservations.
A great buddy of ours recently travelled to Costa Rica as well as though he did speed with it quite quickly, he told us that it was extremely expensive as well as the people were rather cold. We’ve considering that dubbed it “Costly Rica” in anticipation of the travel expenses, however we hope to have much better people experiences than our friend.
Despite some mixed evaluations about the country, we are still extremely ecstatic to go there as well as discover out for ourselves!
Here are 5 reasons why we are ecstatic to go to Costa Rica
1. The Jungles & Rainforests:
You just cannot go to Costa Rica without diving deep into the tropical rain forests. We like jungle hikes as well as we would absolutely like to head out into the Costa Rican jungle and area a few of the flora as well as fauna that makes this country so unique.
2. Eco Lodges
Our buddies Dan as well as Casey over at ACruisingCouple.com have told us all about the incredible Cristalino Lodge in the middle of the Amazon Jungle. In their evaluation of the lodging they stated that this lodge was “the best combination of eco as well as high-end in the Amazon“.
Since reading their article, we’ve wished to go to this extraordinary Eden as well as see for ourselves. The lodge likewise uses tower lookouts, jungle treks as well as night-time campfires. We can’t wait to go to some of Costa Rica’s lots of eco-lodges!
3. Volcanoes
We haven’t climbed a steamy, geothermal mountain bomb considering that we were in Indonesia back in 2009 as well as it still stays one of the highlights of our very first trip with Southeast Asia. One thing we didn’t handle to see was online lava, bubbling in molten pools. This is something that is absolutely on my container listing as well as the Arenal Volcano in Costa Rica is popular for spouting off radiant volcanic liquid from time to time. While we don’t requirement to get as well close, we both want to climb Arenal as well as get a great look at its molten core.

4. The Beaches
Who doesn’t like a gorgeous beach? According to CNN, Costa Rica’s Dominical beach is one of the top 100 nicest beaches in the world! however this nation’s shoreline isn’t just for swimming. Dariece as well as I are dying to provide surfing one more try and Playa Cocles is indicated to be an exceptional location for beginners. We very first attempted to trip waves in Lombok, Indonesia as well as ever considering that we’ve been waiting to get back on the board and provide it one more go.
5. Diving
If you checked out this blog regularly, then you understand that I am a diving diving addict. anywhere I go I like to get under the sea as well as check out the reefs as well as Costa Rica will be no different. even though it’s a fairly new dive destination, there are lots of fantastic sites around Osa Peninsula as well as Caño Island. So far the only dives I’ve performed in the region have been in Tulum, Mexico, Isla Mujeres, Mexico as well as Ambergris Caye, Belize, however I’ve yet to dive on the Pacific Coast. The Osa Peninsula is on the West side of the country so it will be the best chance for me to try out new waters.
When will We Go?
We still haven’t made a decision precisely when we will be checking out Costa Rica, however we figure it will be sometime in the next 5 months. My buddy Jeff over at middle class daddy has some fantastic recommendations in Guanacaste, Costa Rica that I’ll be inspecting out.
We’re currently (slowly) making our method south with Mexico as well as into Guatemala (eventually) as well as we figure that we may be in CR by July of this year. however (as you understand if you comply with us) plans always modification as well as we’re not completely sure when we’ll be there. One thing is for sure though, we’ll be costs about a month in the country as well as seeing as much of it as we can, while still travelling sluggish as well as soaking everything in.
