Day 4 in Costa Rica

Drake bay to San Jose, Costa Rica

Fun ride in a small flight and small run away, where the pilot puts his hand outside the window…Adventure ride…

San Jose (SJO) to Monteverde

Right outside the airport we had our Taxi driver waiting to take us to Monteverde. Travel communication and arrangements were wonderful and perfect. People in Costa Rica were very nice.

We stopped for Lunch at the Butterfly restaurant. We sat outside where butterflies were flying freely.

Drive through the mountains…

We reached Monteverde and checked in to Hotel Ficus. From hotel room we can see the ocean. It was raining almost the whole time. We put on our rain jackets and started walking. It felt like a hilly station with clouds around us. We enjoy eating and delicious local food. So we went to a restaurant called Morpho’s. There also they have butterfly garden. But in the night it was closed. Banana trees and Coffee plants every where along the road side while walking.

Day 5 in Costa Rica

Rainy day in Monteverde. Even though it was raining, it was not that cold.

We reserved the tour for Selvatura Suspension bridges, Butterfly garden and humming bird garden from 8:30 to 11:30AM. Selvatura has bus ride from the hotel. We took that bus and went to that place.

First stop at Humming bird garden…

Rain forest walk through hanging bridges.

Finally Butterfly garden…

They had zip lining through rain forest. It was raining right at the moment we finished our tour and huge wait time for zip lining. We planned our zip lining in Arenal. So we took the bus back to hotel after we are done.

Walked to town for lunch at cafe.

Booked El Trapiche Coffee tour for the afternoon. Kids loved this tour. They enjoyed seeing how coffee is made from beans. How chocolates are made from Cocoa. A ride on the Bullock cart, Plucking the coffee beans , preparing chocolate and at the kids even prepared sweet candy from the sugar cane.
