I am planning to visit and live there so thank you for this it was helpful
Great video and advice! Headed there in a month.
$42 to see waterfalls that you can see for free anywhwhere else is crazy, ripp off. No way. Besides do not advertise places where they have animals in cages, you dumb ass.
thank you! was really helpfull! I wrote down all your tips !
Hey, we are planning to go to Costa Rica in december, but my friend is a little uncomfortable because she heard that it may be unsafe to travel as a woman (we’re both girls). Did you ever have the feeling that you’re unsafe or in danger?
Thanks so much for all the info you had provide. This video is amazing..
Question: it is safe to drive?
Gracias chica hermosa☘🌿🐴🐗🐐🐱🐩🐒🐕🐒🐒🐒
Super helpful. Awesome video🙏🏾
This was great! Thank you for including the prices! Was it difficult getting around the island?
Your video is by far the BEST I’ve seen so far!!!! Very well done! Thank you!
Seems like a lot of money for a place that just seems okay. 😭
She pronounced the name correctly: Cost- ta Rica, most Americans say: Coast ta Rica which not right.
Perfect vlog! Great job and great tips! My first video of you and I’m happily impressed thank you!
How long did you go for? We are going for a week!
Hi, did you rent navigation as well? How did you figure it out?
Great video. I am going in Nov 23rd I guess it will be a lot of rain. Thnaks
Thank you for your precise advice! 🙂
Is it safe to walk at night? Which areas should I avoid?
I’m leaving in a week and I’m soooo excited
I am planning to visit and live there so thank you for this it was helpful
nice. 🙂
Dry bag, binoculars Two things I did not consider at all for our upcoming trip. Thank you!
Thanks for the dry bag tip- ive never even heard of them, but im sure it will save me and my family headaches when we go. Were going the first week of november. When did you go? Do you know if the rain should be calming down by then?
La fortuna es mi lugar favorito tabacon
Absolutly beautiful!! And so was Costa Rica and your video
There is a place to buy sandwiches in Manuel Antonio. We bought banana bread there – that the monkeys stole out of my wife’s hand. They call them "La Mafia" for a reason! 🙂
Thank you Lina.. Very helpful
Very Good Info and Back ground Music
So in other words if you’re going to Costa Rica Get ready to spend some money
What microphone and camera are you using during the vlog?
$450 for a week with a rental car is actually cheaper than I’ve been seeing! Do you have a rental car place you would recommend?! 🙂
Anyone who mispronounces the country’s name cannot have anything of value to say.
Good tip about the dehumidifier. We’ll have to keep that in mind 👍
I am planning to visit and live there so thank you for this it was helpful
“Cost”a Rica 😂
Thanks for your tips. It was very helpful to us.
i need this tripp so beautiful
heading there in a month with a backpacker budget, let see how it goes 🙈🙈🙈
Nice, as a Costa Rican I can say that this video is very accurate, I’m glad that you enjoyed my country and hope you come back soon to see more amazing places
NEXT TIME DO MAKE A TOUR VIDEO NOT showing your self. IN tour videos people wants to see the view not you .. this is a positive critique
This was extremely helpful! Thank you!
Costa Rica seems super expensive to get into parks.
Thank you dear all the tips were so helpful
Great video, very helpful especially with the price of admissions to calculate into budget!!
Pura Vida!!! nice Costa Rica video! btw – if you need a sweet 3BD/3BA
paradise beach house with private pool near our favorite surf spot to
stay at for a week or so in the Palm Beach Estates area in Playa Grande,
Costa Rica walking distance to great restaurants and walking distance
to a grocery store – this paradise spot is about 1 mile north of
Tamarindo this is it! check out JimsBeachHouse.com & email us at
jbhplayagrande@gmail.com **also there’s a great video of this house and
the path to the beach at -> vimeo.com/2560422
Helpful,video, thanks. About car insurance, it looks like the travel sites charge only $11 per day for the ins, is that legit or do they hold you up for more when you get there?
Boofay,,,,
42$ to enter a water fall what a ripp off . in equador they are taller.. wider..and 2$ to enter
Thank you for that dehumidifier tip, that’s the first time I have heard that
Really sad this beautiful country is so infested by Americans so prices are ridiculous now..
