Blown away by Costa Rica🇨🇷

Our take

Costa Rica blew me away! I spent two incredible weeks exploring this vibrant country, filled with stunning wildlife, welcoming locals, and breathtaking nature. From the adventures in La Fortuna, where I rafted and swam in the beautiful waterfall, to the serene beaches of Uvita, surrounded by playful monkeys and colorful macaws, every moment was magical. Drake Bay offered a wild escape with hidden beaches and unforgettable scuba diving experiences. Despite a minor setback in Corcovado, I left with no regrets.

Spent 2 weeks in this amazing country. Honestly the best country I’ve visited. Full of wildlife, amazing locals, and beautiful nature.

La Fortuna: 3 nights

Beautiful place. Amazing nature and full of adventure possibilities. We went rafting, to the hanging bridges. La Fortuna waterfall was beautiful and nice to swim in it. The volcano was obviously amazing.

Uvita: 3 nights

Amazing place, so quiet. The rainforest meets the beach. Relaxing at the beach and surrounded by animals. Macaws and monkeys everywhere. Perfect place to relax after La Fortuna. Amazing food. Extremely chill locals.

Took a surf lesson there for the first time. Exhausting but so much fun.

Drake Bay: 3 nights

Very quiet place, almost no tourists. Very wild place, needed to cross multiple rivers to get there. It’s located on the Osa Peninsula, the most biologically intense place on earth. We just explored the surrounding forest and hidden beaches. So many hidden beaches, only accessible by foot. Went scuba diving in Isla del Caño. Spotted manta ray, sharks, whale, turtles and more. No atm, no gas station.

Corcovado: 1 planned night, cut short

We went to Corcovado national park from Drake by boat. It’s basically a massive national park on the peninsula full of wildlife. You get a guide and explore it. We saw tons of animals, my favourite of the day was a baby tapir. Pure wilderness, no phone signal, crashed plane from the 70s. The entire experience felt like a David Attenborough documentary mixed with an episode of Lost. You sleep at a station, in mixed bunk beds. Not many people there.

However I could sadly not spend the night because I got bit by a venomous spider and had to get back to the village for medical help. That sucked. Went back to Drake and spent the night there.

Dominical: 2 nights

Small surf town. I wanted to surf there but because of the spider bite I couldn’t do much. Sadly I just had to relax by the beach and pool. But it was a very nice little town. Full surfers. Smaller than Uvita, but more tourists. The beach in Uvita was nicer as well.

Final thoughts:

The country is amazing. I absolutely loved how wild it was. I will definitely come back. My favourites were Uvita and the Osa Peninsula. Good food, nice locals. I don’t have one single bad experience in this country. You have to go there!

For any question, just comment😀
