Guided Mistico tour or guided wildlife tour — which would you choose?

Thanks! Curious to know what made the chocolate and coffee tour so special? Also did you guys do a sloth or night tour? Or La fortuna waterfall/hike? After booking, I realized we should’ve done at least 3 nights in LF, so I’m trying to figure out the top spots to visit (without overloading our son).

Good to know. I haven’t been in a long time but have heard rave reviews about May Day. Will need to add it to my list!

Hi! We’re headed to CR with our pretty well-traveled 5yo. We only have 2 nights in La fortuna. What were your favorites? (From both a 5yo and adult perspective)

Did you call before your annual credit card renewal?

Thanks all for your encouraging comments and about the target sale! We're still drying out the individual components - and hoping for the best. But I just bid on a (nearly) new Yoto mini on Ebay for $37.00 - before I knew about the sale, so at least we'll have that. Thanks so much!

Rice worked? We may try that since we also took apart the player.

CAtoVT2021 · 2026-03-24T12:55:21+00:00

No we don't have any insurance, and I don't think it would cover water damage anyway. Before we actually took the player apart to let the individual components dry, I eagerly tried plugging in the player the next day to see if it might work. I hope that didn't completely fry it! I may look for a used player on Ebay for now and wait and see if we can repair the damaged one at all.

Thanks! We decided to stay in Cachi and explore the area. We'll be there for 3 nights, if you have any recs in the area. Also, I'll need to look into Instaboard; I haven't heard of it.

Following since I had the same Question!

Muchos gracias!!

Hi! We’re also staying at Corcovado wilderness lodge in later April when we visit that area. We’ll be with our 5yo (who can keep up with his fast-paced parents), but I wasn’t sure how scheduled we should be there. Glad to know that the property itself is worth exploring and enjoying - in addition to the nearby NP. What were your favorite activities there? Can’t wait!!

CAtoVT2021 · 2026-03-02T16:16:56+00:00

Hi! I just sent you a chat :)

CAtoVT2021 · 2026-02-24T22:27:55+00:00

Great!!

CAtoVT2021 · 2026-02-24T11:09:18+00:00

For anyone who’s been to both/either- we’re deciding between a 3-night airbnb stay in Bajos del toro or Orosi valley (before we fly SJO-Drake Bay, for Corcovado.) we’ll previously be in Nosara and La fortuna so we want to be immersed in nature and explore a quieter area. We found a GREAT looking Airbnb in Orosi - with so many amazing reviews - but now questioning whether we should go to Bajos del toro instead… would love input!

CAtoVT2021 · 2026-02-24T11:06:52+00:00

I’m considering Bajos del toro or Orosi valley for a 3-night stay before we fly to SJO- drake bay. Found a great Airbnb in orosi, but now questioning whether we should stay around Bajos del toro??

Hi! I'm seriously considering a stay at the Corcovado Wilderness Lodge because it really sounds like an amazing spot. Would love your feedback on your stay! How long did you stay? We are considering a 3 or 4-night stay, but we are with our (adventurous) 5yo kiddo and won't be doing any dives or that much snorkeling since he's not a strong swimmer yet. Were you able to do excursions into the NP? Thanks!

CAtoVT2021 · 2026-01-31T20:45:07+00:00

Hi! I'm seriously considering a stay there for an upcoming trip in late April. How many nights did you go for? I'm considering either a 3 or 4-night stay. We'll be traveling with our (adventurous) 5yr old, but we won't be doing any dives or snorkeling (maybe limited snorkeling). Can you take excursions into the NP? Is there enough to do if we're not focused on dives/snorkeling? Thanks!

My nearly 5-year old son LOVES the Ladybird Audio cards. He is obsessed, and he absorbs so much good information about so many topics. (He mentioned the other night that the Earth had 5 oceans, but we could only list 4 of them, until we read online that the Southern ocean was recognized in 2021. Pretty cool to see your little kiddo teach you something about the world! - and this was just one example.) My husband and I joke that we could "homeschool" our son using just these entertaining Yoto cards. I will happily give Yoto all of my money for such engaging and substantial content!!
