We loved the waterfall in La Fortuna. Really enjoyed cliff repelling also as well as the white water rapids by raft. Such an amazing country ❤️. Was lucky to find Imperial at a store in Houston near us just recently. Good stuff!

Wow this view is surreal! it's so facisnating that it seems to be another planet! nice shot!

Beautiful.

Well your experience is very very different than mine then. But I am also not a luxury traveller. Costa Rica has been significantly more than twice as expensive as the 20+ other countries I have visited in the past year.

Groceries are somewhat exceptional because of protectionist import taxes on food. But that is still pretty high for the country based on market data- were they special or did you buy at a gourmet market?

As a tourist, CR is cheap. You can get a seaside resort hotel room with a private balcony and breakfast included for $100 USD and get laundry done for about $2/piece. Nothing I could afford perpetually but much cheaper than most luxury tropical destinations.

Damn, I ate there in like 1995 and have an actual paper photo of it. I'm sure it has changed owners and stuff, but super funny. I went to college there and we did weekend excursions. This was one of the stops and the location was certainly memorable. The country didn't have a paved road that went coast to coast, I'm sure they do now.

I guess I'll just keep living here in Costa Rica!!😎😎

Don't know the restaurant tho!!

The ice cold Imperial when you get back to the top was the best. Absolutely exhausting day that day. We did a hike, hanging bridges, and the waterfall all in a day. Seriously one of the best days of my life.

I thought Americans had already spoilt it - maybe not.

Man, my CR tour guide never took me there! I want my money back!

It was not too bad. The tour company had broken us into smaller groups so that it didn’t get too crowded. If you have a day from Vegas or Utah national parks, go for it.

The first non-terrifying, nightmare-inducing Australian content on my feed this evening, and it's glorious 😍 Thank you. I shall cherish this rare moment before the next video of a snake coming out the toilet, or pictures of spiders the size of puppies crawls out of Australia and onto my feed 😊

Was it very busy? I see a lot of photographs of this spot. They're all pretty stunning.

I'm having one at 8 AM. Cheers!

Edit: I am not in qatar.

Wow, small world. I ate at that restaurant when I was there this past January. We stopped here after spending a few nights in Poas and then doing the La Paz waterfall place just down the road that morning.

I'll say this. I love arroz con pollo and had it at least a half dozen times in different places while in CR and this place had the best of the lot.

Speaking of rocks, my wife is a geologist and noticed the whiter colored soil, so we looked at a much larger range trying to find whiter colored areas. We found it almost instantly after honing in on that.

Nicaragua is nearby with similar landscape, flora, and fauna, but much cheaper is the draw. Not nearly as developed for tourists though as Costa Rica (transportation, guides, national parks, etc.). Maybe preferred if you are a low budget traveler that prefers off the beaten path.

I miss Costa Rica, been too long. I'm sure a lot has changed since the last time I visited.

I found their chicken to be quite good too. Some plump ass mother fuckers.

Why?

Your time to shine and lay out specifics. As an American there is zero other people I've ever heard mention Nicaragua as a vacation spot.

You've got all night to write up a response. I'm going to bed.

go to Nicaragua instead

Did they spare any expense?

Affordable? Jeeeee I am in Costa Rica right now and have been travelling for the past year+ already, but Costa Rica is the most expensive country I have been so far. It's significantly more expensive than back home (Western Europe) aswell.

I paid 10$ for a regular, simple loaf of bread and 6 eggs in the grocery store today. Beat that.

I will!
