Thanks for sharing your journey with us all. I am heading to Costa Rica in 3 weeks time and you're right the tours are super expensive. AND that's even if they allow for solo travellers to sign up to it, as most want a couple booking. Your video has been very insightful. However, I was with you both, feeling INSPIRED to do the hiking and public transportation route, UNTIL you then advised to hire a car hahahahaha. Keep the videos coming. Thoroughly enjoyed that!

Haha 😂 yeah we can’t argue that having your own transportation would have been a lot easier! But it was still fun and definitely authentic to take public transportation everywhere…the challenge adds to the experience we always think 🤔 but yeah in hindsight if we were to go back and had the budget we’d probably go the hire car route. Enjoy your time in CR 🇨🇷
Thank you for mentioning that MN National park is closed on Tuesday’s and the watch out for scammers 🙌🏻

The mountain clip from the fist minute looks fantastic! May I ask where it is?

If it’s the clip I think you’re talking about then we’re in Itza Popo National Park outside of Mexico City. The mountain is Iztaccíhuatl and it’s Mexico’s third highest peak (5,230m) 😊 our trip there is in our ‘Best Hiking Around Mexico City’ video 👍
Hello fantastic content,was just wondering if there was any were inside the park to get a drink and snack.

Great content. You have to go back to Costa Roca and do more cities please. :). How do you pay on local buses? Cash? Card?

Thanks! There is still plenty more for us to see there for sure 😊 2 years ago we paid cash for the buses but you may be able to pay card now too. Always best to have cash though 👍
Manuel Antonio or La Fortuna for Sloths, Hanging bridges and volcano hikes? I would like to do 5 days with nights back home at the resort or vibrant town.
@KittiandJon
Жыл бұрын
If you want all of those then you want La Fortuna for sure. You can find hanging bridges and sloths at Manuel Antonio but no volcanoes and the sloths aren't as easy to spot there. So we'd probably recommend La Fortuna for you 😊
I was in quepos and manuel Antonio Beach a couple of weeks ago. Beautiful beach but the vendors are everywhere and they are persistent in trying to sell you crap you don't need. Plus it was $20 to use a couple of beach lounge chairs with umbrella and about $10 to park your car.

The whole of Costa Rica is so beautiful...but yeah it definitely comes at a cost. It is a very expensive country!!
How long would you recommend staying in Manuel Antonio?
@KittiandJon
11 күн бұрын
We’d say the bare minimum you’d need is about 2 days (1 for the national park and one to go to the waterfalls) but would definitely recommend staying longer if you enjoy beaches and being by the sea 😊 we spent 1 week there 👍
Are the sea lice bad in August?

Honestly we have no idea! Sorry!
Did you see with naked eyes or through camera lens plus powerful zoom? Are the animals just a few steps away?
@KittiandJon
Жыл бұрын
In Manuel Antonio National Park the animals are really only a few steps away...the monkeys come right up to you and the iguanas are everywhere around the beaches. The birds are the only ones you might need a good camera lens to photograph. :)
Why didn't you ask for ride to the passing cars?
@KittiandJon
Жыл бұрын
We could have but we always prefer to take the bus if possible especially when we knew there were buses to take 😊
Is there a place you’d recommend to stay in Manuel Antonio?
@KittiandJon
Жыл бұрын
We stayed in Quepos which is a little bit cheaper than Manuel Antonio and easy to get to by bus. Most of the main hotels are along the road between Quepos and Manuel Antonio. Wherever you stay you'll have easy access to the reserve and the beaches though 👍

Nothing is free in his life everything cost money whatever you want to go you have to spend money. That’s what I do here if you go to Disneyland.
