Travelogues Costa Rica

We wake up after a very cold night, but well warmed by the thick blankets. We were told that there had been a storm and it had been just above freezing. Everything is shrouded...

We slept well and feel fully rested, starting the day leisurely with the treats that are waiting for us in the kitchen for breakfast: fresh fruit, jam, and finally rolls again....

The night poured buckets of rain for hours, creating quite a noise on the corrugated roof of our Cabaña. After breakfast, we bought homemade cocoa balls (made from raw mass) and...

Today our adventure on the Camino de Costa Rica begins, which will take us 280 km from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast in 16 stages, crossing not only the country but...

I'm writing from the covered terrace. It's pouring buckets in front of me... just like in the rainforest. At least it drowns out various other noises that sometimes keep me...

After a never-ending journey (a total of about 12 hours and several transfers) by public buses and a overnight stop in San Jose, we arrived in Tortuguero. Our first stop on the...

Somehow I had imagined the Caribbean coast a little differently: white beaches, palm trees, and above all sunshine! There were palm trees and the beaches were at least partially...

Costa Rica, mid-September 2018 Next, I wanted to go to the Caribbean coast to the Tortuguero National Park, known for the thousands of large sea turtles that lay their eggs on...

Now it's time to go to Costa Rica from Madrid. My first flight is from Madrid to San Jose. I was very lucky with the seat selection. I was sitting right next to an emergency...

Since we decided to skip the extremely overpriced Arenal National Park, we went straight to Monteverde on Monday. That was actually the plan, and so we were at the bus stop at...

Around noon, we arrived in the most famous city on the northwest peninsula, Nicoya. Here you will find not only the oldest church in the country, but Nicoya is also a 'Zona...

After the beautiful boat tour - returning from Tortuguero - and some bus transfers, we arrived back in San José. We stayed here for one night to reach our next destination,...

Hello dear ones, I haven't been in touch for a long time, but it's not because I've forgotten the blog; I've just been experiencing so much. In the meantime, week four has...

On the second weekend, I set off on an expedition into the jungle with my new friends. We took an Uber to a coffee farm and then headed into the jungle. The paths were really...

So much has happened in the last few days :) On Wednesday, we went to the Irazu Volcano. It was super foggy and pouring rain, but the volcanic rocks were really cool, and the...

Our last stop, the 'Vida Aventura Ranch' in the middle of nowhere somewhere between La Fortuna and the Pacific coast. There is nothing else around here and the way here was...

After only spending 2 of 4 nights at the yoga retreat, we moved to downtown Puerto Viejo. Puerto Viejo is a small coastal town that is home to many backpackers, reggae, weird...

We decided to leave the Alki-Pirates accommodation one day earlier and drive to San Jose to continue to the Caribbean coast a day later. As the crow flies 120 KM, road 350 KM....

After the rain comes sunshine, or spiders...

Travel to Orosi, OK... one last time I had to be patient to reach my next destination Orosi. I left at 8 o'clock again and once again I arrived at my destination after...

A day full of impressions and little friends...

The company Coopedota is one of the world's leading coffee producers, producing high-quality coffee and distributing it. We had the opportunity to spend an afternoon with our...

The night was very cold, which was to be expected at this altitude. We now always ask in advance for a second blanket. The vegan breakfast, on the other hand, was delicious and...

Loud bird chirping accompanies the sunrise in the morning, which bathes the jungle in warm light and creates a kind of exotic postcard idyll. Today, we will partly go through...

Today we are walking the seventh stage of the Camino and after the dominant banana plantations along the way, these are replaced by sugarcane fields (Caña). By now I feel like...

The Manuel Antonio National Park is located on the Pacific coast in the south of Costa Rica. The national park is the smallest national park in Costa Rica, covering seven square...

In the morning, we have another generous hearty Costa Rican breakfast with gallo pinto (rice with black beans), scrambled eggs, corn tortillas, and cheese. However, Chris misses...

On the morning of today's stage, we started early at 6 am to have enough time for the challenging 20 km ahead and to avoid some of the daytime heat. Since the Parque Nacional...

Finally - we made it! :) The past few days have been very exhausting. Until the last day, we worked and spent our free time preparing for the trip. The daily check of the...
