A Nine Day Tour of the Top Tourist Sights in Costa Rica
Blog: Hole In The Donut - 21 April 2012
Following a disappointing week at the beaches of the Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica, I hopped on a bus back to San Jose, where I met up with a group of people for a nine-day tour. As an independent traveler who wanders with no set schedule, I have never been on an organized tour, however [...]

Santa Elena and the Monteverde Cloud Forest
Blog: Viva Latin America! - 31 March 2011
Due to the high cost of living in Costa Rica we decided to head straight to Santa Elena before going to Nicaragua. We caught a bus to San Jose in the morning and were slightly concerned as the guidebook warned that tickets for our onwards journey to Santa Elena sold out rapidly and that we [...]

第三十五天 - Canopy Tour!!!
Blog: Diaries of a Vagabonding Couple - 22 March 2010
那是一個不得了的體驗！做完後我想高呼：「阿媽，我得咗啦!」 今天我做了空中飛人、泰山、(鹹蛋) 女超人 -- 我們參加了 Canopy Tour (zip lining)。孤陋寡聞的我最初以為只有一種玩法， 就是雙手拉著一條吊在大纜的繩然後穿越森林由一端往另一端；聽到已興奮莫明的我發現還有泰山和超人模式，我就更發狂了！ 未玩時超級期待，但快輪到我時卻很 chicken；在這矛盾的心情下我試了第一條 cable -- 「嘩！好好玩！超正呀!!」這是玩後感... 自此我像醉酒佬般不停在纜上又叫又笑... 久違了那旅途中綻放的燦爛笑容！ 全程總共有11條 cables，我和黃Glenn 每玩完一條就互相傻笑，忽然我們的童真全都湧出來了， 然後我們變了全團十多人中最吵最高興的兩個！也許他們覺得很詫異，亞洲人不是比較靜的嗎？哈哈我都顧不了這些；有時我玩完黃Glenn 還在途中時，

Day 35: Doing the Tarzan & Superman!
Blog: Diaries of a Vagabonding Couple - 17 March 2010
Canopy tours are all the fuss in Monteverde, and also the reason we’re here. This is where zip-lining all started – “flying” across the forest canopy as you hang from a zip line in a safety harness. I first heard of this activity from a colleague who visited Costa Rica a year ago but never imagined it to be such a unique way of experiencing the forest – I mean how else would you be able to feel

Monteverde And The Million Hummingbirds
Blog: Viva Latin America! - 9 December 2009
Arriving into Santa Elena town, in Monteverde, was a relief, and not just because we’d been travelling all day. It was a relief because it could be called rather chilly! We had been sitting on one bus or boat or another for about ten hours, and several times I had woken up from [...]

Monteverde and Santa Elena
Blog: A Travel Diary from Mexico, Central and South America - 6 December 2009
Costa Rica is a place of contrast. Leaving the hot and humid Pacific side, we travelled to the Northwest highlands and a region called Monteverde. The altitude here makes for a pleasant climate. Warm in the sun, but a little chilly at night, I enjoyed the chance to wear jeans, shoes and socks!

Costa Rica
Blog: Patrick and Katrina do the Globe - 2 September 2008
We enjoyed our visit to Nicaragua last month so much that we were very eager for our trip to Costa Rica. August is the middle of rainy season in Costa Rica but it also means the low season for tourism which lends to less crowds and cheaper prices.
