We visited Costa Rica in February 2020. First we spent some days in the surroundings of San José, where we among others visited a coffee plantation. Then we went by bus to Pavona where we entered a boat and sailed into the Tortuguero National Park where we lived at "Evergreen Lodge" for three days. Then we spent some days in La Fortuna where we saw the Fortuna Waterfall and the Arenal Volcano and where we bathed in the hot springs. The last days we spent in the Manuel Antonio National Park. On this page we are showing some of our photos. Click on the pictures for seeing them in big size. |
