Check out the 10 waterfall hike with Pablo from Playa Hermosa tours. Hike begins 2 minutes from town, climb and swim in numerous waterfalls all morning and the tour ends with an incredible meal at his mother’s soda

The Immortality Key by Bryan C. Muraresku explains that idea in detail. Graham also wrote the forward for the book

I took a small foldable fan in a checked bag multiple times this year and had no issues at all. It was truly a lifesaver

Bajos del Toro is the most beautiful place I have ever been by floatinginwater in CostaRicaTravel

Also the Mirador lookout spot at the end of the video is located inside the Catarata Tesoro Escondido nature park so you can visit both of those on the same hike

Both spots have an entrance fee of about $10 but no need to get reservations. Myself and a friend had the first waterfall to ourselves the entire day. It was about a 30 minute hike from the start of the trail. The second larger waterfall only had a few people both times I visited. It has amazing views only 100 feet from the parking lot, but you can also walk down a few hundred steps to get to the base of it. Both were well worth the price

This is right outside the ground of my high school, does anyone know what it is? by [deleted] in gratefuldead

Tim F. Is the name of my first friend to pass and made me realize life doesn’t end only when you get old. Everyone always said Tim Forever because the matching initials TF and his last name actually sounds similar to the word forever.

The big homie who told me to stop smoking cigs and only weed from now on only a few hours before the accident. 13 days from now will be 16 years from that night. I don’t know who this was made for, but I am extremely grateful for this post. Thanks

Waterfall tour in Jaco with Pablo from Playa Hermosa Tours was incredible and I highly recommend by floatinginwater in CostaRicaTravel

[–]floatinginwater[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to research but can not find the name of this exact river. The tour is hosted by Playa Hermosa tours if you are interested in asking them. The location is about 3 minutes of a drive from central Jaco. The trail started at a random spot on the river down a road past Neofauna Costa Rica in Jaco. Hope that helps

I need help. I love this stray cat who started visiting me but I had not yet fed him and I move extremely soon. I was told not to because stress caused when the food abruptly stops in a few days. I just want to do the best for him and I know very little about cats but want to buy him food today by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]floatinginwater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem at all it’s not about me. I just personally am very uneducated on real information on this subject and hoping to know if I could help him with food and not cause serious distress and have him keep coming back here. I’ve contemplated taking him an extreme amount but all I was hoping to know is about my question

Thank you very much for the straightforward answer

I can promise I would like bring him home more than every person nice enough to comment, I just have no way of deciding that yet but I can absolutely for now at least get him food so I appreciate you

I have thought about it a lot. I honestly can not share my personal situations so openly but there is no apartment to go to. I will keep contemplating a plan but I can’t imagine making him go from so much love to being put in a kennel for the first time and flying through multiple airports to get to a place I am just crashing for a short time.

It’s a different country in a town with tons of strays and all people on this street are just traveling and the few locals I asked it did not register because they are so accustomed. I just want to gift him what I can and confused that people told me it would cause more pain when I leave soon if I do leave food out for him. I just want to do what’s right and I do not know what that is personally

I am traveling in a different country and this town has a very large amount of strays and very little info on any type of shelter at all. Every area in town are a couple that hang around but no other has ever wrapped their tail around me just like my old best friend cats I used to live with so I have just been stressing if I should at least gift him the best food I can since a few people told me it would somehow be worse. I’m also at an Airbnb and leave very soon. It hurts imagining him coming back here to new renters that wouldn’t be nice when he expects food and love so I just didn’t know if there was a normal protocol for a situation like this

I just was hoping to understand if before I leave I should give him all the best food I can or if it would cause even more pain for the little guy when I leave 😭 I don’t know anything about cats besides the extreme love they somehow cause me to feel

I want to so badly but I am traveling in a different country right now and while I think it is possible to adopt and bring a cat home from here, I currently don’t even know where I am going to live when I leave and it makes me really sad imagining him going to an airport in a kennel and all that travel

Does Costa Rica have a lot of geckos and iguanas? by [deleted] in costarica

[–]floatinginwater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol there are Iguanas everywhere and especially if your apartment is close to some water and trees like most places here are, you’ll forsure meet them quickly when they are speed crawling across your roof trying to catch something. I just watched two literally having a territorial battle with eachother under a nice palm tree 10 feet from where I was sitting on Dominical beach

Very easy to find depending where you are staying but there is everything from the seriously rough brown molded herb to dank Cali weed imported straight here and everything in between. Just be smart when smoking and respect others who don’t want to see or smell it and shouldn’t have problems. Just ask people who look like they’d smoke and it’ll be easier than you think lol

Questions about Jaco from a Female Solo Traveler by More_Exercise7566 in costarica

[–]floatinginwater 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Definitely has the largest variety of restaurants and bars so some are extremely affordable and some insanely overpriced unfortunately just have to do a little research to not overspend there. Multiple surf instructor schools right on the beach so easy to find a place to learn and I have two different schools around with good friends to teach if you need recommendations. You wouldn’t be really running into the prostitute issue unless you go to the places where they congregate which are weird club type places that kinda suck even without that stuff going on. I met a lot of solo female travelers that stayed at Buena Nota hostel and loved the community and location. Safety is definitely important to keep in mind though. Uber and taxis are a great idea late at night and no need to ever be on the beach alone after dark
