ROAD TRIP! to Puerto Viejo and beyond

Puerto Viejo Costa Rica a margay at the Jaguar Rescue Center.
Puerto Viejo, Cocles, Manzanillo, Chiquita, Punta Uva, Poas Volcano, La Paz Waterfall Gardens and Manuel Antonio in 6 days. Look at your Costa Rican map and you can see we were seriously 'Doin' Costa Rica'.

Yup, we just got back from an excursion around Costa Rica and do we have a TON of work to do in the next few weeks putting together some videos for you guys.

We got this opportunity THANX to David and Mindy, a couple from North Carolina, who were emailing us with questions prior to their vacation as well as checking out our videos on YouTube and our travel info on Travel Costa Rica Now. After meeting David and Mindy in La Fortuna they asked us if we'd like to join them on a few legs of their journey around Costa Rica. We have no car and travel on a backpacker budget which they generously offered to help with, so of course we said, "hell yeah". The fact David and Mindy were very COOL was sugar on cereal.

Hope you ENjoY these pics, they're just a sampling of what's to come.

One of the most beautiful places we've seen in Costa Rica, Punta Uva, a little south of Puerto Viejo.
Holding a sloth at the Jaguar Rescue Center which was one of the neatest places we've ever visited in Costa Rica.

Walking down to view the waterfalls at La Paz Waterfall Garden.
It was a fun time road trippin' it around Costa Rica with David and Mindy and once again, a huge THANX, totally appreciated.

I think we got some GREAT video footage,,,,so be on the L@@K out.

Santa Elena Cloud Forest Reserve

Our VIDEO of the Santa Elena Cloud Forest Reserve.
The Monteverde, Santa Elena Area is one of the most bio-diverse locations on the planet. *btw- for the record, Monteverde and Santa Elena are pretty much the same 'area', at least as far as the tourist is concerned, so don't let it confuse you.


Santa Elena Cloud Forest Reserve isn't as popular as the Monteverde Biological Cloud Forest Reserve, but that's precisely why we like it (something about the path less traveled). Santa Elena is a 765 acre reserve and has a maximum elevation of 5,510 ft. making it the highest cloud forest in Monteverde. It has 8 miles of hiking trails and is open from 7am to 4pm. Guides are available and you can also do a night tour. ,
If you're into flora and fauna then definitely don't skip Monteverde if you're planning a trip to Costa Rica.



Jurassic Park has nothing on Santa Elena... well except maybe the dinosaur thing.
