Costa Rica: Best way to get from Montezuma to Manuel Antonio?

admin — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 02:30:11 +0000

My friend and I are backpacking Costa Rica this spring break and we are trying to figure out the best way to move on from Montezuma to Manuel Antonio. I know its a bit of a trek, but it’s important to us to go to both of these places. So whats the best way? Bus, ferry, bus? Can private shuttles be arranged? I was also particularly interested in the possibility of a ferry that runs from Paquera to Jaco, perhaps? Any help would be very much appreciated! Thank you, and happy travels!

Entry from: Montezuma, Costa Rica Entry Title: “Surf Noobs” Entry: “With the weather being so hot and muggy, along with the stagnant air, the place was becoming a little unbearable. We took the opportunity to lounge around a bit since our surf tour didn’t start until 1PM. Breakfast was in order so we headed to the Restaurante La Naranja. We chose that place because its menu was rather affordable (I still can’t get over the fact that food and beer is priced similarly to the US). Breakfast was typical Costa Rican fare consisting of black bean rice (super yummy), tortillas, eggs, and plantains (sweet fried bananas). We struck gold because this breakfast was delicious! I wanted to head back to the room to catch up on sleep since the night before was so uncomfortable. Still fearing bed bugs, I opted to sleep on one of the wooden tables in the room. LOL. Rowena hung around in her hammock then eventually made her way to the beach closeby to take some photos. As 1PM neared, we headed back to the surf shop to meet up with our group and instructors. At the surf shop, we realized that the other couple was the same German couple in our zipline tour group, Christian and Sylvia! Cesar, the shop owner, quickly introduced us to our surf instructors, Bi and Alfredo. Each couple was to have one instructor …

In many ways Montezuma feels like the end of the line, but this charming little beach, is nestled on the eastern shore of Costa Ricas Nicoya Peninsula, down dusty roads that lead to ridges covered with tropical dry forest combined with contrasting green terraces etched out by rivers and tides. It is a coastline of whitish sand speckled with rocky peninsulas and protected by ancient cliffs formed some 80 million years ago. Unlike many other parts of Costa Rica, Montezuma has been largely untouched by commercial development and therefore is a beach lovers paradise. Dramatically located at the bottom of a plateau overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Montezuma has an enticing quality that goes far beyond its spectacular setting. With a strong emphasis on an eco-conscience mindset while maintaining a laid back lifestyle, Montezuma has been a popular destination for hippies, new-agers, and eco-tourists. Not surprising since Montezuma has long been a haven for alternative …

Hotel Capital in San Jose, Costa Rica -

Hey Everyone! On this visit to San Jose we decided to try and do it on the cheap and see what hotels and hostels were BEST for backpackers and people traveling Costa Rica on a budget, while still getting a bang for the buck.

We stayed 2 nights at Hotel Capital. Hotel Capital boasts the best location in all of San Jose, were they right? Is it all about location, location, location, and what about the orthopedic beds… would they be ideal for a good nights sleep or would it be like sleeping on a piece of cardboard? The Hotel Capital was only $28./ night for the both of us… was it worth it, would we recommend Hotel Capital to our friends and family? Check out this video and see if Hotel Capital is all that and more.

Theft and Crime in Costa Rica

admin — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 03:08:15 +0000

Who’s responsible for the majority of theft problems in Costa Rica. Is it as bad as they say, or do the tourists need to wake up and smell the coffee, or maybe just watch their stuff a little better? Check out this video to find out.

The Costa Rica Travel Channel and Travel Costa Rica Now does not wish to scare you. We are merely reminding you of things you forgot you knew when traveling abroad. The majority of crime as it pertains to travelers (petty theft) in Costa Rica, can pretty much be avoided if you just follow of few simple rules. You will notice that these rules pretty much apply to any tourist destination in the world.

Where ever you are at any given time i.e., your surroundings be- attentive, watchful, aware, vigilant, ready to act, observant, on the alert, and on the ball.

So, a guy that makes about a buck an hour sees this video camera sitting on the passenger seat of this car Never leave valuables in plain sight while in your car, even for an minute.

Pickpockets are mostly found in San Jose and they love to use distraction to relieve you of your valuables. Scam- Someone accidentally spills something on you, and someone else playing the good Samaritan quickly arrives to help. Always keep your wallet and passport in your front pockets if you do have to carry your passport.

If a sketchy person approaches your vehicle while you are stopped at a traffic light or sign, sound the car horn and start foaming at the mouth as its all about perception.

When you can avoid it, never carry your passport with you. Instead, make a copy of the front page AND the page that has your entry stamp from immigration on it. This will usually suffice in a pinch.

Just because a person can speak English does not mean they are your friend.
