Caravan Tour of San Jose & Poas Volcano in Costa Rica

Tour of San Jose, Poas Volcano & Coffee Plantation

Our tour of San Jose in the Central Valley of Costa Rica was a fantastic way to start the day! Paul, our Caravan tour guide, shared his love and pride for the history of his beautiful country. Paul taught us the term Pura Vida. While it’s literal translation means “pure life,” it is a term that Costa Ricans (or Ticas, as they like to call themselves) use to express their optimism for life. It’s also a term that can be expressed in a multitude of ways. It’s so nice to do a guided tour of San Jose with someone who was born and raised in the area. Our guide was so knowledgeable and passionate about his homeland. Paul even told us that as a child he picked coffee beans on his family-owned coffee plantation. Read more

Day 1 of Our All Inclusive Caravan Costa Rica Tour

Well, today we begin our Caravan Costa Rica tour and it really is a “natural paradise.” It’s a beautiful sunny day with just a little cloud and about 80 degrees Fahrenheit (27 degrees Celsius). Not bad considering when we left Vancouver Canada to take this all inclusive Costa Rica tour it was about minus 3 Celsius (26 F) and we had about 15 or so centimetres of snow (6 inches) on the ground.

Pre Costa Rica Tour – Our First Blog Entry

Time for a Costa Rica Holiday! Yeah!!

On Dec 28th, 2017, we started our family trip – an all-inclusive Costa Rica holiday hosted by Caravan Tours. Some friends of ours did this Costa Rica Natural Paradise tour a couple years before us and just raved about it. So, I decided to write about our daily tour experiences. This was my first time blogging, but eventually, I did get the hang of it and was able to share some great experiences and Costa Rica travel tips in this blog, which I wrote while on the tour of Costa Rica!

Things to Do and See at La Fortuna Arenal, Costa Rica

If you seek spectacular scenery with a panoramic view of Costa Rica’s most active volcano (Arenal Volcano), the city of La Fortuna de San Carlos (La Fortuna Costa Rica) may be the place for you.

Located in the northern part of Costa Rica, La Fortuna is one of only a few sizeable towns and small cities in what is known as Costa Rica’s Northern Lowlands.

Tortuguero Costa Rica Park, Conservation Area & Village Information

Located in Limon Province just north of Tortuguero National Park on Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast is the small village of Tortuguero Costa Rica.

Tortuguero Village relies mainly on tourism and since it is isolated on a strip of land within the Tortuguero canals the village can only be accessed by air or water. There are no cars so the atmosphere is very relaxed and quite pleasing.

Tortuguero Village is surrounded by a series of natural and man-made waterways; in fact, the Tortuguero canals are the primary means of local transportation. Read more
