Pura Vida!

Costa Rica is by far the most amazing place I have ever visited. When I travel I like to learn and live the traditional style of the country I am in. I got that experience 100% while being here from locals and our tour guides. We got to go behind the scenes of a small zoo and got to play and hold monkeys! We also rented ATVs and rode around for almost 4 hours seeing the beauty of Costa Rica. The locals are so nice we asked one to give us a private tour and he did so with no questions asked. We stopped and ate lunch on the beach but it wasn’t just your typical restaurant lunch. Some of the locals actually went out to shore and caught us fish, grilled it in front of us and it was the best fresh grilled fish I have ever eaten. Costa Rica is known for having many volcanos hints why the sand there is black and not your typical white soft sand. We visited Arenal volcano and the view was something you will never see again. You take a huge bus with a group of people and the ride is about 3 hours long. It’s an all day excursion with many cool adventures to experience. The last thing I want to mention is the hot springs in Costa Rica. It was my first time and I loved it. Very relaxing and good for your skin and for your overall mental health as well. I can’t wait to go back again and i recommend it for everyone as well!!
