This blog is all about our amazing adventure holiday in Costa Rica. We want to share the photos and highlights of this fabulous place. To see the photos in chronological order, open the posts in number order in the blog archive below right. Click on a photo to see in full screen.
6. Playa Carrillo, Nicoya Peninsula
Our final stop was a couple of days chillaxing on the Pacific coast, at Playa Carrillo. Crashing waves, infinity pool, sunshine, sunsets, cocktails. What better way to end our holiday adventure of a lifetime. Great company, well organised, lovely friendly knowledgeable guide. Pura Vida!
5. Rincon de la Vieja
Next we visited another volcano. This had hot springs and mud pots, a lovely sulphuric smell and great bubbling sounds. Another great rain and thunder storm. Francesca went on a horse ride with her very own Costa Rican cowboy, Grace went on the river water slide, and I bobbed around in the thermal spring baths and had a mud bath. David did early morning and evening wildlife walks.
4. Arenal volcano
The next stop was Arenal volcano. Unfortunately the nightly displays of lava eruptions stopped a couple of years ago. The volcano itself is one of Costa Rica's iconic views so photos are obligatory. On the way we learnt all about banana production.We also visited a school, and had a demonstration of local folk dancing, followed by a visit to a farm to see an old sugar cane press as well as more wildlife and plant life.
