Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica Travel Guide (Ep. 1)

The first leg of my 30 day road trip starts in Puerto Viejo Costa Rica! This is the ultimate vacation destination! Whether you want an adventure, see nature at its best, or just want to relax or tan, Puerto Viejo offers everything. Unlike other towns in Costa Rica which are packed with tourists, Puerto Viejo is laid back, has fewer tourists and is the ideal place for naturalists, yogis, sun lovers and those who seek to be one with nature. There is still so many things to do in in puerto viejo costa rica.

  2. I just watched this video and immediately had to subscribe. Both your narration and videography are so well done! Looking forward to future videos. You’ve got a true FAN i👍🏾

  10. Correction: It’s actually not required to hire a guide to hike in Cahuita. A guide can usually spot animals and plants that you might miss, but I hiked it unguided with my daughter a couple of weeks ago without a problem.

  20. @7:25 ….One more of those familiar events and i think we can say you’re cursed when it comes to these rides out here for every venture you’re on, lol!! Sorry the snorkeling part wasn’t as thrilling but you still managed to make the best of it, it seems. Nice video overall again, those drone shot angles and your narrating was pretty cool to see and listen to…P.s, i beat the timer…think i’m still safe (for now atleast) LMAO!! XD

  23. I love your storytelling perspective, this is so refreshing to see, content creators making art and providing information simultaneously!🔥
