Food tastes better when you work for it! Driving up to La Fortuna from San José we stopped at the home of Doña Mara and made some tortillas. Behind the scenes she had a feast awaiting, our first delicious taste of home cooked Costa Rican cuisine.
It’s possible to get great photos and videos by holding a phone camera up to the eyepiece of a telescope. Mama and baby sloth sighting on the way to La Fortuna!
Pedro, our local guide, knows a lot about a lot. Here, close to Arenal Volcano, he talks about some of the young growth that has sprung up since the volcano stopped erupting.
Volcanoes make for great group shots too.
A few minutes of silence and a great view is a great way to recharge. The group enjoys a rest during a hike near Rancho Margot, a self-sufficient organic ranch near La Fortuna.
Being overseas is no reason to skip a birthday! Katie celebrated in style at Los Lagos Hot Springs.
The food is so, so good. The group enjoying a meal after a tour at Rancho Margot. Farm to table!
With all the outdoor adventure possible in Costa Rica, its capital of San José is often overlooked. But the fair weather of San José makes for some great, walkable exploring.
Every once in awhile you just have to embrace your inner weird.
