A Friendcation filled with adventure…

We were a group of friends looking for nature exploration and adventure on this Costa Rica trip. We booked an itinerary that took us to La Paz Waterfall, Arenal, and Drake Bay. Anywhere.com was very helpful and responsive. They helped us refine our plans as we worked out the details for the 4 of us traveling together.

The evasive Arenal Volcano…

It’s too bad that we missed seeing Arenal Volcano during our time there because it was so cloudy. However, we did see it on our way in via the drive. The walk to the base was interesting and the guide knowledgeable. One of the highlights of the trip for us was the early morning bird walk with Raul from Jacamar tours; he was great, and a very good bird spotter! The Cano Negro tour on the Rio Frio was also very, very good.

We’ll never forget the wildlife we’ve seen!

The boat trip from Drake Bay to the frigate and brown booby rookery and then up the Sierpe River was wonderful, and Jorge was a very good guide. It was here that we saw the fourth species of Costa Rican monkey – a band of squirrel monkeys!

Costa Rica is about the size of West Virginia, but ground transportation can take many hours on its rough, windy, and mountainous roads. Depending on your travel route, domestic flights may be the most convenient and sensible option. Traveling between some destinations can take up to 8 hours by ground, while a domestic flight can cut that travel time to 35 minutes - a major time saver, especially if you have only a short time in Costa Rica.
