From there we drove direction to Poas Volcano, nice spot, although we were not so lucky with the weather, and it rained quite a little. In there we could enjoy a couple of friendly squirrels and of course the volcano.

After that, we headed up to La Paz Waterfalls, this private park costs 39$, but it’s worthy, we enjoyed the waterfalls, and the other animals they have in there, toucans and many different kinds of birds, butterflies, wild cats, snakes and some frogs.

By the end of the day, we reached La Fortuna.

We woke up with that view, such a perfect volcano shape although we didn‘t do a hike in there because after 8am was completely overcast and the volcano disappeared in the clouds, but we went to La Fortuna waterfall, in my opinion, a hidden gem, not too touristic and you can have a bath in it.

Day 4, we took the car in the direction of Tamarindo, on the way, we stopped by Cocos Beach, do not go there, waste of time. Also, we dropped by Conchal Beach, totally worth it, though. About Tamarindo I have to say it is a touristic place, I would not recommend if don‘t have an extra day, although we saw a gorgeous sunset.

The day after we starting driving south, and we reached Montezuma, sweet and local spot where we visited a couple of nice beaches and did a great hike in Cabo Blanco Absolute Natural Reserve.

We had to keep on going, so we stop by Tortuga island, this was a recommended place to do snorkel, although by that time it was raining season and the water was a bit choppy.

After taking the car into the ferry from Paquera to Puntarenas our next spot was Manuel Antonio National park, I personally was a bit disappointed, too touristic, but if you can‘t spend at least 3 days in Corcovado (my highlight) including traveling till there, come here. It was funny to see monkeys and raccoons trying to get the food from everyone‘s backpacks, or even try to steal my camera as you can see on the cover.

We kind of finished the trip in Corcovado. Totally worthy, although it is located far away on the south-east of the country and difficult to reach, still if you like adventure, you should go to Corcovado. We overnight at the Station after 24km trough jungle and beach, very tiring.
