The Costa Rica trip was amazing. 8 nights in a beautiful condo with good friends, incredible food and SO much to do. The 4 of us were there together for 4 nights. And then Brenda and I stayed another 4 nights after Brittany and Cheryl left.
We were busy busy. The first full day I was there, we set off on a 36 hour adventure. Brenda had rented a driver to take us about 3 hours away to La Fortuna. It's an area next to a volcano and a beautiful lake!
First stop was a waterfall. We went down about 500 steps to base of this amazing waterfall. The pictures don't do it justice!!! We spent some time taking pictures and then swam in the VERY cold water. And then had to go back up the 500 steps. All of our legs hurt the next day!!
After the waterfall, we got ready for our ATV tour. They gave us about 2 seconds of instruction...and we set off. They don't believe in a lot of instructions or real safety measures. About 10 min into the tour, a ATV behind me flipped (with a kid on the back!!!). The terrain was muddy and steep....honestly a bit scary. I got stuck 2 times and had to get off before I got hurt/stuck.
We did see a sloth in a tree on the trip. He was high up in a tree and hard to get good pics...but it was so much fun to watch him for a bit.
The scenery was beautiful but it was a long ride. I think we were driving for about 2 hours. We did drive down to a river and swim for a bit. After the drive, they had lunch for us.
This was our driver...Leo. He was a good sport dealing with 4 women!!!
