26 days in Costa Rica
In and around Costa Rica
It’s still 2 weeks before we leave, but I created this blog, just in case things will get to busy, and I have no doubt they will.
After some studying of the Lonely Planet we decided to avoid the most touristy destinations and head to the Caribbean Coast. And then cross the country for a trek across the Peninsula de Osa. At least that’s the plan and we’ll see how it goes.
