Traveling in Costa Rica

Pura Vida

I’ve been to Costa Rica three times (and I would go back)!

There are still places yet to explore in CR. We visited in 2009 for our honeymoon which was a great sampling of the country. In 2017 we visited with the goal of seeing my favorite animal: the anteater. In 2019 after my husband bid on a trip to Costa Rica (ended up being somewhat of a scam) we visited more of the country. Each trip had something different to experience – whether it be unique animals such as the tapir and anteater or experiencing local culture and customs. I would highly recommend a vacation in Costa Rica. In order to see the most of the country I would say 7 days minimum although I feel like 10-14 days is a better timeframe. Below are the places we have been.

For our trips to Costa Rica in 2009 and 2017, we used a travel planner. Everything was organized from pick up from the airport, hotel/resort stays, excursions, flights, and transportation from each destination. It was a totally stress free experience. Below is her contact information (she does best via email).

  • Be Careful about using a Travel Agent

    June 16, 2023 by

    I’m a huge fan of using a travel agent for international travel. You don’t realize how much they do until you get one and realize how less stressed you are about your trip. Last year my travel agent got out of the business after 20+ years due to her frustration with customer service. I asked… Read more
