Trip Overview
D+1, 21 March 2016. Travel Day - Traveled from San Jose, CA to San Jose, Costa Rica -- 7am plan departure from CA with a ~7pm arrival in San Jose with layovers in LA and PHX. - Multiple delays by American Airlines at LA and PHX prevented me from arriving on the 21st. Finally arrived at 11am in Costa Rica on 22 March. - Decided to remain and explore San Jose on the 22d
3
D+2, 22 March 2016. San Jose - Arrived in San Jose ~ 11am - No issues with immigrations and customs - Took cab to Hilton Garden; $25 taxi charge (not bad price) - Explored San Jose
D+3, 23 March 2016. Limon, Puerto Viejo, Manzilla - San José to the East coast. Traveled along the southern half of the Caribbean from Limón to Puerto Viéjo to Manzilla and pitched tent on a desolate parcel of beach about 40km N of PV
D+4, 24 March 2016. Arenal, El Castillo, Essence of Arenal - Early morning wakeup, collapsed site, and spent a few hours on the road heading West to the central volcanic highlands near La Fortuna with Arenal Volcano in my sights. Out of nowhere, came across a divine organic farm yoga retreat, Essence of Arenal,” a shy distance from El Castilló-Arenal where I pitched tent for the evening.
D+5, 25 March 2016. Arenal, Liberia, Santa Rosa Nacional Park - Departed Essence of Arenal and started the day by summiting El Chato Volcano which is an inactive volcano neighboring the still very active Arenal. - Traveled to the West Coast and setup camp for the night in Santa Rosa Nacional Parque. Ventured up to the coastal town of Jobó to recce populace and surf.
D+6, 26 March 2016. Tamarindo, Playa Grande, Playa Negra, Nosara, Playa Garza - From Santa Rosa Nacional Parque, continued south along the coast visiting and getting acquainted with the local "hot spots." - Spent the night on Playa Garza which is situated near a small cove
D+7, 27 March 2016. Playa Jaco, Playa Hermosa, Quepos, Playa Manuel Antonio - Woke to a beautiful sunrise and a squad of hungry spider monkeys seeking friendship but all I could offer was some downward facing dog. - Continued movement south surveying coastal towns - Pitched tent on a grassy knoll overlooking the beach right outside of Manuel Antonio Nacional Park.
D+8, 28 March 2016. Dominical, De Osa Península (Corvacado Nacional Parque, Puerto Jiminez, Golifito) - Spent the day venturing south to the Osa Peninsula which is the wettest of all regions in CR. Visited Puerto Jiminez and Golifito which are crucial shipping ports for CR. - Determined to travel back north and remain the next couple days in Domanical, my favorite Pura Vida location so far next to Arenal Essence.
D+9, 29 March 2016. Dominical, Ventaña - Spent the day in search of a jungle hideout and experiencing my favorite location in CR - Playa Dominical - Surf, sand, sunset - Harbored up on Playa Ventaña for the night. Near dangerous encounter with a couple crocs that were resting on a river bank when I went to conduct evening hygiene. Broke camp early due to unexpected torrential downpour and concern of flooding that would
4 severely impede movement back to hardball and botch exfil time. - Be cautious around riverbanks - Avoid pitching tent beneath coconut trees
D+10, 30 March 2016. Dominical, San Jose - Found a pullup bar and dip station on a secluded parcel of beach which seemed totally out of place to me.... hmmm. The concrete/gravel posting, welding style, threading, design style, and gauge of steel piping suggested construction by gringo with potential military background. Someone's training site perhaps??? - Wrapped-up the day exploring San José, conducting much required hygiene, and cleaning gear/equipment - Remained in San Jose for the evening
D+11, 31 March 2016. Travel - Get to the airport early!! - Flight departure set at 6:40am and I arrived at 4:30. American Airlines counter service is AWFUL! No online check-in allowed so you have to check-in at counter. Spent an hour and half in check-in line due to one representative working the desk - There is an exit tax of $29.00 from Costa Rica so be prepared to have to pay this at a separate counter. This fee is sometimes already included with your airfare with some airlines (United, American Airlines), so check your airfare so you’re not waiting in this line to pay your exit tax. - No issues with security
San Jose Airport Website: http://goo.gl/zPbDyk Adobe Rental Car Information I went with a small compact car that worked just fine for me. There is an Adobe rental office near the airport. Seeing that I was going to be spending the night in San Jose, I opted to rent from an office within walking distance from the hotel I was staying at for ease of return prior to returning.
Car Planning and Selection Considerations - Unless you plan on going off-road, there is no need for a 4x4, at least during the dry season - I went with a compact car; I recommend a standard type car with a trunk. Majority of compact cars have only storage space behind the rear seat where your belongings are still visible to passerby’s increasing theft rate. - Though rental cars are cheap, you will pay heavy for insurance. Better to err on the side of caution and pay the extra for the comprehensive and liability insurance the agencies offer.

Gandoca-Manzanillo National Wildlife Refuge
The 9,446-hectare Refugio Nacional de Vida Silvestre Gandoca-Manzanillo (Gandoca- Manzanillo National Wildlife Refuge) protects a beautiful brown-sand, palm-fringed nine- kilometer (5.5-mile) crescent-shaped beach where four species of turtles—most abundantly, leatherbacks—come ashore to lay their eggs (Jan.-Apr. is best). Some 4,436 hectares (10,962 acres) of the park extend out to sea. The ocean has riptides and is not safe for swimming. The reserve—which is 65 percent tropical rainforest—also protects rare swamp habitats, including the only mangrove forest on Costa Rica’s Caribbean shores, two jolillo palm swamps, a 300-hectare (740-acre) cativo forest, and a live coral reef.
The freshwater Laguna Gandoca, one kilometer (0.6 miles) south of Gandoca village, is a lagoon with two openings into the sea. The estuary, full of red mangrove trees, is a complex world braided by small brackish streams and snakelike creeks. The mangroves shelter both a giant oyster bed and a nursery for lobsters and the swift and powerful tarpon. Manatees and a rare estuarine dolphin—the tucuxí— swim and breed here, as do crocodiles and caimans. The park is home to at least 358 species of birds (including toucans, red-lored Amazon parakeets, and hawk-eagles) as well as margays, ocelots, pacas, and sloths. The hamlets of Punta Uva, Manzanillo (the northern gateway), Punta Mona, and Gandoca (the southern gateway) form part of the refuge. Because communities of indigenous people live within the park, it is a mixed-management reserve; the locals’ needs are integrated into park-management policies. Punta Mona Center for Sustainable
7 Living and Education (no tel.) is a communal organic farm and environmental center. It teaches traditional and sustainable farming techniques and other environmentally sound practices. It accepts volunteers, internships are available, and day and overnight visitors are welcome ($40 pp, including boat transfers, guided tour, and kayaking). Kayaking, guided hikes, and yoga retreats are offered.
The park is easily explored simply by walking the beaches; trails also wind through the flat lowland rainforest fringing the coast. A coastal track leads south from the east side of Manzanillo village to Gandoca village (two hours), where you can walk the beach one kilometer (0.6 miles) south to Laguna Gandoca. Beyond the lagoon, a trail winds through the jungle, ending at the Río Sixaola and the border with Panamá. A guide is recommended.
ANAI (Asociación Nacional de Asuntos Indígenas, tel. 506/2224-6090 or 506/2756- 8120) works to protect the forest and to evolve a sustainable livelihood through reforestation and other earth-friendly methods; it offers Talamanca Field Adventures trips throughout the southeast. Volunteers are needed for the Marine Turtle Conservation Project, which conducts research and protects the turtles from predators and poachers. Contact ANAI or ATEC (Asociación Talamanca de Ecoturismo y Conservación, tel./fax 506/2750-0398) to see how you can help. You can hire a guide and a boat in Sixaola to take you downriver to the mangrove swamps at the river mouth (dangerous currents and reefs prevent access from the ocean). The Costa Rican Association of Community-Based Rural Tourism (ACTUAR, tel. 506/2248-9470) offers eco-minded tours, plus homestay accommodations with locals at El Yüe Agroeco-farm and other indigenous lodges. The MINAE ranger station (tel. 506/2759-9001, 8am-4pm daily) is at the entrance to Manzanillo village; the MINAE headquarters (tel. 506/2759-9100), at Gandoca, is 500 meters (0.3 miles) inland from the beach. Entrance costs $6, but there is rarely anyone to collect the fee. Accommodations and Food Camping is permitted in the park, but there are no facilities. The nearest accommodations are in the villages of Manzanillo and Gandoca, on the northern and southern entrances to the reserve, respectively. The various accommodations at Gandoca are often closed in low season and include the breeze-swept Cabinas Orquídeas (tel. 506/2754-2392), run by a friendly older couple. They have 18 rooms. Four upstairs rooms have bunks and a shared bath with cold water only for $12 pp ($20 pp with meals). Others have private baths ($25 pp, or $30 pp with meals). The best bet in Gandoca is Albergue Kaniki (tel. 506/2754-1071, $17 pp), with three small dorm rooms with bunks and lots of light and cold-water baths. You can also camp on lawns. Meals are served. It rents sea kayaks and has horseback rides, plus bird-watching, hiking, and dolphin tours. Sportfishers opt for Tarponville (tel. 506/2759-9118, U.S. tel. 406/586-5084, $100 pp, including meals, 5-day angling package from $2,030, nonanglers $825), inside the reserve. It offers sportfishing packages from five days. Simply furnished rooms have ceiling fans. Rates include meals. The lodge is available off-season for family vacation rentals (June-Aug. and Nov.-Feb., low season $171, high season $221). It comprises two adjoining houses: the fourbedroom Coral Reef House and the three-bedroom Dolphin Lodge. Punta Mona Center for Sustainable Living and Education (tel. 506/2614-5735 or 506/8391-2116, $40 pp, including meals) operates on a community living basis and has cabins. ANAI welcomes volunteers to its Finca Loma (tel. 506/2759-9100), an
8 ecotourism project beside the turtle hatchery. You need to sign up for a six-week minimum stay and may find yourself doing all kinds of physical chores. There is no electricity. Getting There You can drive to Gandoca village via a 15-kilometer (9.5-mile) dirt road that leads north from the Bribrí-Sixaola road; the turnoff is signed about three kilometers (2 miles) west of Sixaola. Keep left at the crossroads 1.5 kilometers (1 mile) down the road. If you get caught short of money, there’s a roadside 24-hour ATM at Finca Sixaola, midway to Gandoca.
Braulio Carillo National Park
Quebrada Gonzales Ranger Station. US$8 per person for park entry (camping is free). The station in on the San Jose to Limon highway (32), approximately 8 km east of the junction to Puerto Viejo de Sarapiqui. You can park next to the picnic tables (under cover) just across from ranger’s residence. Toilets, cold showers, water, power. The park is located on the volcanic Cordillera Central (Central mountain range) between San José city and Puerto Limón on the Caribbean. It is accessible from the Limon Highway, which bisects the park (northwest to southeast), and from Barva canton on the north. The park is separated into three main sectors — Zurquí, Quebrada Gonzales, and Barva.Established in 1978, the park was formed as an agreement with environmental lobbyists to limit and prevent development of the area after the construction of the Limon Highway, a major road linking the capital to Caribbean cargo port of Puerto Limón. The park was named in honor of former Costa Rican president Braulio Carrillo, whose administration had helped foster the nation's early agricultural economy and had built the first road linking San José to the Caribbean coast.The park contains many notable geological features, such as the Barva Volcano; and several dormant volcanoes including Cerro Chompipe, Cerro Cacho Negro, and Cerros las Tres Marias. The Barva sector has three crater lakes — Barva, Danta, and Copey. The park also protects areas of the Sarapiquí River watershed, including large amounts of primary cloud and rainforest, and the flora and fauna that makes it their home. Others in the park include the Hondura River, Patria River, and the mineral-colored Súcio River. Both large size (108,970 acres) of Braulio Carrillo National Park, and its varied altitude of 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) between highest and lowest points, make it home to several distinct ecoregion zones.[1] Ranging from high-altitude cloud forests to lowlands tropical rainforest, it has one of the highest levels of biodiversity in Costa Rica. More than 90% of the park is covered in primary forest.[2] providing a unique snapshot of ancient ecological conditions. The park contains landscapes representing the Talamancan montane forests ecoregion at high elevations and the Isthmian-Atlantic moist forests ecoregion at low elevations. It is significant for its biodiversity with 600 identified species of trees, over 530 species of birds, and 135 species of mammals already catalogued. Examples of birds found include the solitary eagle, the bare-necked umbrellabird, as well as several species of hummingbirds. The area near Barva is home to the bushmaster. Unlike the more popular Costa Rican parks, such as Poás Volcano National Park and Manuel Antonio National Park, Braulio Carrillo National Park is relatively unmaintained
9 and untravelled. Three main ranger stations serve the park. Two of them, Quebrada Gonzales and Barva, provide sanitary facilities and drinking water for visitors. Camping ($2 + $8 park entrance fee) is highly recommended at the Barva Volcano ranger station, where an early morning start will assure you a timely ascent up the four- to five-hour trail to Barva Volcano’s scenic summit. Potable water and toilets, but no showers, are available. Contact: 2266-1883 / 2266-1892 - See more at: http://costarica.com/trip-ideas/camping-in-costa-rica/#sthash.AMBGurMH.dpuf
Arenal
“Campground” is across from the Arenal National Park headquarters (N10:27.691 W84:44.404). US $5 per person. Take the road toward Tilaran from La Fortuna and turn left about 14 km from La Fortuna, toward the national park. The park headquarters and this private camping area are about 2 km down the dirt road. Has cold showers, and a bathroom, but not much else. Lots of farm animal around
Park Background Arenal Volcano National Park (Spanish: Parque Nacional Volcán Arenal) is a Costa Rican national park in the central part of the country, forming the Arenal Tilaran Conservation Area. The park encompasses the Arenal Volcano, which "was" the most active in the country, which had previously been believed to be dormant until a major eruption in 1968. It neighbors Lake Arenal, which is the site of the country's largest hydroelectricity project, the Lake Arenal Dam. The park lies within the 2,040 square kilometres (790 sq mi) Arenal Tilaran Conservation Area, protecting eight of Costa Rica's 12 life zones and 16 protected reserves in the region between the Guanacaste and Tilarán mountain ranges, and including Lake Arenal. The park is most directly accessed from La Fortuna, but is also easily accessed via Tilarán and the north shore of Lake Arenal. The Arenal Volcano National Park is popular with birders, as most of the 850 species identified in Costa Rica can be found within the park's borders. This includes one of the country's most elusive and beautiful birds, the endangered resplendent quetzal. Other animal species living within the park include white-faced capuchin monkeys, jaguar, deer, coati, and snakes like the fer-de-lance and parrot snake. The park also has a strong showing of plant life, including orchids, heliconias, ferns, laurel, cirri, guayabo de monte, palms, bromeliads, and strangler figs.
Santa Rosa National Park / Junquillal Bay
The main entrance to the park is 22 miles north of Liberia, and is accessed by following the signs from the Interamerican Highway. Upon entering the park, pay the entrance fee and grab a map, then continue 3.5 miles to the administration center where you can check road and weather conditions and get your permits for camping or turtle watching. - See more at: http://costarica.com/attractions/santa-rosa-national- park/#sthash.wsO7QRhj.dpuf SRNP Fee: Entry 10/Camp 2
10 North of Santa Rosa, $13 per person entry and $3 per person to camp. Stay more than one night to make the entry fee worth it. Nice campsites, cold showers, water, right on the beach. Rangers are incredibly helpful and will tell you when and where you can see wildlife. Lots of monkey and crazy birds. Awesome for the beach and wildlife Santa Rosa National Park is one of the oldest and largest national parks in Costa Rica. The 91,926-acre reserve protects Central America’s largest remaining section of tropical dry forest, as well as important habitats for several sea turtle species, including the Olive Ridley. Santa Rosa’s Pacific beaches also provide some of the best surfing in Central America – the world-famous Ollie’s Point and Witch’s Rock are located just offshore. On land, hiking and wildlife watching are popular activities. You can camp ($2 + $10 park entrance fee) in the dry forest or near the park’s famous waves. Santa Maria, Playa Naranjo, Playa Junquillal, and the Santa Rosa ranger stations provide potable water, toilets, showers and grills.

Tamarindo Hotel Chocolate about 500 meters from the beach. It has a nice garden courtyard with a pool, and small apartment style accomodations with a basic kitchen and hot-water bathrooms. The rooms have nice balconies with hammocks and tables, and the place has good wireless internet access. It's even better for groups of 4, since it has rooms with 2 queens or 2 bunkbeds if you're traveling on more of a budget. The owner is friendly and willing to bargain as well. 30 minutes south of Tamarindo on Playa Negra, you're likely to find more of the pura vida lifestyle that has made Costa Rica famous. Cabinas at Cabinas Marvel, where they will also custom make you a rashguard or bikini. The owner Bob, and his wife Margarita, are super friendly and will bend over backwards to make your stay perfect. Really close to a bunch of great surfing areas as well. We ended up staying a lot longer than we had originally planned, as the small cabinas with kitchen and cold-water bathroom were too good of a deal to leave.
Nosara
Treehouse Gardens is a nice campground for those looking for budget accommodation. Or for those who like heights they have a treehouse built for two though you will have to climb down to use the shared bathrooms. They can be reached at [email protected] or (506) 2682-1254.
Quepos / Manuel Antonio Park Manuel Antonio Park Opening hours are from 7 am to 4 pm. Admission fee is $16, children under 12 are free of admission. Tickets may be purchased at the park entrance at Coopealianza by cash or Visa. Guided tours are available at $51 for adults and $35 for children. Private tours are available at $71 for adults and $55 for children. All guided tours include round trip transportation from MA / Quepos hotels and vacation
11 homes, entrance fee, bilingual certified guides with high tech telescopes, 2.5-3 hours of guided tour including time to spend at the beaches and tropical fruit. You can choose to spend the rest of the day inside the park but might need to take the bus or a taxi back to your hotel. For those visiting the park during Christmas, New Years and Easter, make sure to arrive as early as possible (7-8 am) in order to get in. It is recommended to visit the park in the afternoon (12-4 pm) as there are less visitors during that time. Because camping is prohibited within the park, a number of lodging choices have sprung up around the perimeter of the park. One of the popular local lodging offerings consists of "cabinas" (cabins) which vary in price ($20-$30/night) and quality. Cabinas Pedro Miguel (tel.777-00-35) and Cabinas Piscis (tel.777-00-46) and Cabinas Sol y Mar (teL. 777-14-68) are a few popular choices for this type of lodging. The Manuel Antonio Park area also has a number of hotels which average about $50-$60/night. There are also a few upscale hotel/resort style properties in the area such as the Makanda by the Sea (tel.777-04-42) and the ancient Spanish style Hotel El Parador (tel.290-76-82). Costa Verde, situated in the center of an exuberant tropical jungle, with a view of the Pacific Ocean, this hotel provides easy access to the wildlife of the jungle and a sense of balance between serenity and adventure. Comfortable and nice rooms are complemented by the restaurant, bar and swimming pool to make this hotel a very good option in the area.
Carate Directions Last town on the road to Corcovado, from the south. You can camp for free on the beach on the other side of the air strip. There is a teinda that sells basics and if they have water you can pay for the bathrooms and a shower. Owners will watch your car for $5 a day if you want to hike into the park. GPS: 8°26'31.73"N 83°27'37.66"W
The town of Carate is the ideal place to stay while exploring the surrounding area. Around town are a number of accommodation options, including eco-lodges and nature resorts, which can provide guests with a comfortable experience while staying in a gorgeous natural setting. Undoubtedly, most visitors to the Osa Peninsula are interested in trips into Corcovado National Park, dubbed as being the crown jewel of Costa Rica's park system. This enormous (103,290 acres) park boasts a huge amount of biodiversity, giving visitors the chance to spot scarlet macaws, Baird's tapirs, jaguars, sloths, and even the endangered squirrel monkey. As with most of Costa Rica's national parks, the hiking here is awesome.
Carate is close to the coast, so visitors can enjoy a day of lounging in the sand at Playa Madrigal or a swim in the nearby Pacific Ocean. Farther out, there is good sport fishing to be had, as well as some wonderful snorkeling and scuba diving opportunities in the waters surrounding Isla del Cano.
The best way to get to Carate is by plane, as the town has its own small airstrip. There are charter flights available to and from San Jose, which take about an hour. However the most common airport used is in Puerto Jiminez which is about 1:30 from Carate by car.

As of November 2014, the National Park service has changed its policies to secure a permit to Corcovado once again. You can now only secure a permit at a maximum of 31 days (or one month) ahead of your trip to Corcovado. This means that there will be a great deal of competition for permits exactly one month before peak high season (Dec. 20-Jan. 5, and Holy Week). Make sure to reserve your tours to Corcovado at least a month in advance so we can secure your permits at the earliest possible moment. As of February 1 2014, all Corcovado visitors must be accompanied by certified professional guides. This dramatically changes the way many people have seen the park. In practical terms do not fill this form out and apply for permits unless you have already contracted a private guide. For most guided expeditions, the guiding company will secure the permits. We'll help you with permit procurement, but keep in mind that the Park Service has a strict no-refund policy, and that you will not be allowed to use permits that you secure unless you are accompanied by a guide. That said, we can still get permits for you. If you would like a guided trip, then you may want to skip ahead to expeditions. Corcovado National Park permits are issued by MINAET and may be reserved directly with the Park Headquarters in Puerto Jimenez by writing to [email protected]. Permits must be paid in advance and a voucher is issued by the Park Service upon proof of payment. It is this voucher that park visitors (or their tour guides) must have to visit the park. The Park Service does not accept credit cards nor wire transfers. This means that the applicant must plan to spend time in Puerto Jimenez and pay at the bank and then shuttle the bank receipt over to the Park Service office to receive the required voucher. Osa Corcovado Tour and Travel provides next-day reservations for a fee of $30 or 10% of total for permits exceeding $350. We send your final voucher by email so that you can proceed directly to the park without having to pass through Jimenez. To use this service, please fill out the the permit application here and we will send you the MINAET issued reservation sheet (Formulario de Prepago) and billing. You may pay this amount plus our reservation fee by either Visa or Mastercard or PayPal. We will in turn pay the Park and issue final confirmation within 24 hours of receiving your payment. With this in hand you will need no other documentation to proceed directly to the park.
