After a short stay in San Jose, we head east toward the Orosi valley. Our hotel is a charming little cottage with two bedrooms and a kitchen. Sounda is so excited to finally have some control over our food. No more endless waiting in restaurants. We can render those precious hours much more productive, for example by […]

After a few days in the rainforest, we’re back in town. Specifically in the capital, San Jose, to welcome Sounda’s mother. She joins us for three weeks and we will visit the north-eastern portion of the country.

One of our big favorites of the last year remains the region of Utualdo (Puerto Rico) and in particular, the land owned by Batay Adventures. The lush tropical forests, a beautiful river where […]

After being separated for 5 days, the family is once again reunited in San Juan del Sur. The itinerary that the agency Unik Tour organized us ended here.
