Which isn't to speak poorly of Costa Rica, sometimes more similar to home is good for a vacation, especially if you're short on time and looking for something easy. If I was taking my mom on a trip it would totally be my choice. But solo or with a friend? Nica wins.

Nicaragua is what Costa Rica was like before it got overly Americanized. Outside of honeymooners and the fancy resort crowd the people I know who visited both generally prefer Nicaragua.

Was passing through and took a sinilar photo just a week ago

I knew I saw it somewhere! It was on r/HydroHomies (posted by the same guy, btw)

No problem! I'm pretty much in the same situation. I've been coming here since before I can remember, and I still try to come whenever I get the chance.

Wow!!! I must go here

Grew up going here at least 3 times a year. Montauk stole my heart long ago and will always be a little slice of heaven for me. Thanks for sharing this!

Costa Rica is fantastic. You should just make sure you like rice & beans because that’s part of every meal if you’re traveling on a budget. But they are excellent imho, and you can see both the Atlantic and the Pacific on the same day. Pretty damned cool! 😎

Just don’t take snacks to the beach with the monkeys. Those little fuckers will steal anything.

Yeah we were there in January right before Covid and it was awesome!

Good time to come, right on the dry season. The rainy season has been brutal this year, it even started a month earlier than usual.

Could you spell out how the name of this park is pronounced?

I went to CR in 2018 and everywhere you looked was just green. Went zip lining over a giant gorge at Buena Vista along with horseback riding, steam bath, and natural hot springs. Highly recommend.

I am not as familiar with the Norse mythology / folklore as I am with the Greek one, so not sure if there is something in there, but in The Legends of Olympus there was this story about an elderly human couple whom Zeus spares when he decides to have the Earth flooded, and allows them to "not close their eyes one before the other", and so when their time comes, they turned into an Oak tree and a Linden on a high cliff - kind of what this picture reminded me of

Yes we did. It was great. Our guide was very solid and pointed out all the wildlife that we would've otherwise missed if we had gone alone. We loved the history lessons that came on the hike too. Such a beautiful country all the way around.

Framing in this is too good! tooooo good! world class! fantastic! fantaaastic! mindblasting!

The edge of the smaller light green hill on the left makes the composition less balanced. Left side of the main hill is all in shadow except for that one bright element and it draws the eye away from your centerpiece. Crop it out or darken it.

Wow!

He's a bit older than her isn't he. Nice. More light on the couple maybe?

If I'm not mistaken by the waterfall and foliage this is catarata la paz. (Just giving more info not contradicting you)

Ugh Costa Rica is so beautiful. I haven't been in so long and this makes me want to go back. The people were incredibly nice too

Thought it was 2 photos at first! Cool shot, love the tropical-like look of the bottom hill.
