Where I'd go back

We've been so a bunch of places. They've been wonderful, and I'm always glad that we've went and seen all that we have. Of all the places that we've been, there is one place that I'd go back in a minute: the Osa.

It was so relaxing when we were there. It might not be your speed, but we thought that it was awesome. After flying to Puerto Jimenez we went to a Playa Preciosa and stayed there for a couple of days. When we were there, they still had to run a generator since the government had not finished running the power lines. I think that it was supposed to be done like 5 years before we went, so they were a bit behind. It was gorgeous there with long stretches of empty beaches and lots of playful dolphins around.



After that, we traveled to the Terrapin Lodge were we had wonderful food served on nice plates in the middle of the jungle. Each night around 5:30, the spider monkeys with their babies would come around to eat fruit from the tree beside our lodges porch. From there we took a hike into Corcovado. If we were to do that again, I'd book well in advance to stay at the ranger station and perhaps get a guide as well. Oh, and I'd also take a lot of water. They say that you should have at minimum 3 L / person. Ya, do that. Don't drink out out of a "potable" stream beside a vulcher like we did.


The rest of Costa Rica was wonderful too, but when my mind starts to think of tropics, my heart goes to the Osa.
