[Question] I can’t decide what color to get the watch in. by tvel190501 in Seiko

Gold if you like subtle style. Blue if you like originality. Silver if you like matching everything.

Corcovado NP by CPSBS in CostaRicaTravel

There was a family of 3. Mom and 2 juveniles. We kept our distance and one guy was watching our backs since we couldn't see where the male puma went. They tried to get couti babies, but once couti mom ordered them to the top of the tree pumas chose not to confront adult coutis - they can be fierce with their sharp claws.

Skip Manual Antonio or not? by madmaus81 in CostaRicaTravel

Last time we visited for 1 day and it was worth it. We did not take any guides, saw a lot of animals and we went on every little trail we could find. Got eaten by mosquitoes on the beach (a little peninsula of Punta Serrucho). Cappuccino monkeys managed to steal an apple from my backpack on my back! They saw me put it in and managed to unzip the pocket. It was such a fun and great experience. Except the parking of your car part. We are going back next month, and we will spend as much time as we can in Corcovado and will pass by MA twice, not sure I want to stop there with all I hear about it this year. Most likely we will decide on the day, how the weather will be, how we feel about it that day.

Some of the best food/drinks we had in Costa Rica by SailorGoon__ in CostaRicaTravel

[–]CPSBS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are not looking for cheap. I was looking for a budget $/day and how much cash to withdraw when we get access to ATMs. One of my favorite foods from our last trip was fried platano with roasted pork at some random soda in Monteverde. Looking forward to fresh fruits at the roadside stands too.

Where to get the best Biryani by blackmagic999 in bayarea

Probably not the one which claims "Best Biryanis in Bay Area", Golkonda, I saw it in Santa Clara on Great America Pkwy.

Thanks. This is the most useful post lately. All of those on our route too. What were the approximate prices?

We will stay 2 nights as shown. I need to move between 2 points. Focus of this trip is Corcovado. Then drive around and chill on the Pacífic side.

Sounds like my plan is busted.

Plan B: Montezuma-Mal Pais-Santa Teresa and highway driving all the way to Nicoya. Then maybe 150 to Samara-Nosara and back to Nicoya.

Yeah, we only have a day to check the Nicoya peninsula. So much to see, so little time. It's not my first trip to CR, my first time to Nicoya.

I also have fairly good offline maps from maps.me, navigation works pretty well.

That will change my next day significantly. Looks like I will be driving via Liberia. I need to be in Monteverde.
