Geo: 8.69371, -83.6581This is mainly a compilatio n of several days worth of pictures from around town. We did not go to the "duty free zone" so cannot report on that area but did just enjoy walking around the main street and the kayak trip and two hikes above town.Because we had such a nice view from our room, it was nice to just sit outside and eat lunch and watch the world go by and also the sunsets were great from our porch so this was a fun stop for us and maybe next time would do a little more exploring of some of the side streets.... read more

Geo: 8.64, -83.17We had been told there was a great hike up a steep road to the towers above town but were not given exact directions. We knew which way to head and started early (6:15 a.m.) in our quest for the road. Asking questions we finally found our destination.Directions: Road by the school and soccer field, sign for Canopy tours where you turn left, and soccer school across the street. There is a bus stop where you can catch a ride back to town for 275colones.The road is steep and you keep climbing up and up. There are some straightaways but it is a very steep and rewarding climb. Because we were hiking in the early morning, we had shade for most of the way up and even on the way down.Also because of the ... read more

Geo: 9.45, -84.15We have found the most inexpensive way to travel in Costa Rica is by bus. Of course, the experiences can vary depending on what type of bus you are riding. For our trip from Quepos to Golfito, we had a great experience with a bus that was air conditioned with very comfortable seats!We had been told the bus from San Jose would stop at the bus stop across from the hospital and would arrive there around 9:00 a.m. We went to the bus station in Quepos the day before and bought tickets for 7090 colones each. We had been advised to buy the tickets in advance because if all the seats have been paid for the bus may not stop or you have to stand for the entire trip. The ticket agent told us ... read more

Geo: 9.38945, -84.1347The gentleman that has the place where we were staying told us about the old Manuel Antonio Road as a good place to hike. How to find it.............Two ways........If leaving Quepos, the road between the church and soccer field continue straight instead of taking left to head up to Manual Antonio or take the road heading to Manual Antonio and turn right at Hotel Romantica and follow the road up to the right. The road winds up the hill giving you great views back along the coastline. Saw several nice birds along the way including several Cherrie's Tanager couples. They are so beautiful and you see them all over Costa Rica. The male has a brilliant red back and the female several muted colors. There were lovely flowers all along this route as well. ... read more
