I'm impressed man, I'm tico and let me tell you that you basically know everything about every region and the weather 😮😮😮

[@AlexanderAyling]

Thank you Jeremy!

[@pablosirius5]

as Costa Rican, you always talk so wonderful thing about us and the nature. We are really proud of our biodiversity, Manuel Antonio is my favorite National Park and I go there at least twice a year, during the dry season and then on the rainy season. My girlfriend and I love your and Carrie’s videos. Hopefully you can visit soon. Please go to Bajos del Toro, there you can find so many waterfalls and also visit La Cruz in Guanacaste, the beaches there and nature is quite special too!

[@AlexanderAyling]

Gracias Pablo. We can’t wait to come and visit again. So much more to explore.

[@alexboutin76]

Very informative video. I watched it a couple of months before going to costa rica & it really helped. Been to San Jose, Tortuguero, Lafortuna, Monteverde, Jaco, Manuel Antonio & my favorites were definitely Lafortuna, Monteverde & Tortuguero. I’ve been back for 2 months now & 1 still dream about going back. Costa Rica is not a place it’s a strong emotion, a feeling. The most incredible, out of this world, fulfilling experience of my life. I’ve never been this happier in my life & it put things in perspective quite alot

[@emilyfagg349]

Did you like Monteverde or La Fortuna better? Can't decide which one to go to!

[@jonathanrichardson7440]

I really liked Montezuma . It's a bit of a yoga town with nice beaches and a really nice 3 tier waterfall with swimming holes (little bit of a sketched access hike/climb but if you're able-bodied , it's totally worth it).

[@Hakkspettafarriss]

Wow I love your Costa Rican video. Thanks for showing our beauty to the world. Pura vida Mae!

[@AlexanderAyling]

Muchas gracias! Quiero volver!

[@seanhogan6897]

Honestly, most of these Top 10 Costa Rica videos suck, but this was actually pretty good!

[@woodypaul_]

I've been to Puerto Rico, Honduras, Tulum and Cozumel but Costa Rica is next on my list! This is great!

[@AlexanderAyling]

I’d love to see visit Puerto Rico and Honduras. Central America is so cool.

[@woodypaul_]

PR is one of my favorite places to continue to go back to. Each town is vastly different energy and it's an easy hop from the States where they accept USD and most places speak English. One of my first recommendations to travelers that want to dip their toes into Central America.

[@chrissessions6108]

It's hard to pick a favorite place in CR, but I enjoyed the heck out of Monteverde/Santa Elena. The cool temperatures in the mornings and evenings are heavenly. For anyone visiting that area, I would strongly suggest El Tigre Waterfalls for a fun experience that includes hiking, swimming, riding horses, and lunch with a killer view! My wife and I enjoyed El Tigre more than the Cloud Forest Preserve.

[@AlexanderAyling]

Thank you for sharing!

[@MichaelMiller-fq9xg]

I'm moving to Dominicalito soon! This video put me in the right place until then❤ Thank you sooo very much!!! Pura Vida

[@AlexanderAyling]

Have fun!

[@ashleyhood7479]

Thanks for the list!! I’ve been wanting to visit Costa Rica so bad. I was planning on it as a baby moon (pre pregnancy). But I got pregnant very quickly! I’ll be saving my vacation days for Costa Rica after maternity leave! ❤️

[@AlexanderAyling]

It will be a great place for your maternity leave. Watch my other Costa Rica Travel tips video and my Itinerary Guide video to get a better idea of what you want to do. They are linked in the description of this video

[@hopscotchtheglobe]

Next time you're here come visit us! Miss you and Carrie!

[@AlexanderAyling]

Consider it done!

[@avenida1340]

Very nice video, Just don't let your plane ticket fool you. The International airport Juan SantaMaria , in Costa Rica is not in San Jose. it is Located in Alajuela and San Jose is another province the capital of Costa Rica.

[@emorejhotepra2628]

My partner and I hope to go back soon. We loved our first trip but went during the rainy season, we’d love to go back during their dry season. Planning for the end of this year or early next year 🤞 ❤

[@AlexanderAyling]

It’s such an amazing country. So much to see and do. Thanks for tuning in Jennifer

[@iiiivvyy]

Hi! I’ll be buying your guide but would love to know if the end of November is a great time to go to Costa Rica?! Either Caribbean side or if the Pacific Ocean side is better weather/nightlife? Thank you!

[@AlexanderAyling]

Thanks Ivy, my itinerary will be really helpful in planning your trip. November is a good shoulder season month to visit, but it will still be a bit wetter and humid, so plan for that, dry in the mornings and thunderstorms in the afternoons. Nightlife is pretty mellow in most of the beach towns, a couple fun little bars. I can’t vouch for nightclubs as I don’t really like them much but you’ll be able to find somewhere to have a few drinks and hit the dance floor. Much more info in the itinerary! Hope you enjoy your trip! bit.ly/CostaRicaItineraryGuide 🇨🇷👌🏼

[@GlenB-u6e]

Great video! Question: How are you getting to these various destinations…driving a rental car? Is Uber available to get you from SJO to places like Playa Hermosa?

[@DrStewart__]

Apparently there is at least three playa hermosas because there is a playa hermosa just north of Santa Teresa beach. I would say my #1 is Costa Rica hands down is the Santa Teresa - Montezuma area in the Nicoya peninsula. Gotta check it out.

[@CaballerodeLemuria]

What a great video, Costa Rica looks beautiful. I am from Panama and I hope to go one day.

[@CarlosQuesadaR]

Thank you for such great video

[@AlexanderAyling]

You are so welcome! Glad you like it. Don't forget to grab yourself a copy of my epic itinerary! So much to see and do in CR. Grab yours here: bit.ly/CostaRicaItineraryGuide

[@passportoadventure]

I've never heard of Playa Hermosa, but those beach front apartments sound AMAZING! I want to backpack through Costa Rica SO BAD!

[@AlexanderAyling]

Playa Hermosa is lovely. You’re gonna really like Costa

[@seanthug]

Those "affordable" beach front flats are 300$ 😂😂

[@JuliusLena]

amazing. We should go there. We still in bali, but costa rica looks incredible.

[@DigitalMediaChoas]

Can you still hot the beaches in the rainy season?

[@jan-lucab5654]

Hey, amazing Video! I am going to visit Costa Rica in february. What is the name of the small waterfall at 6:17?🙏

@alexanderAyling What are your thoughts on Playa Flamingo?

[@directrue1742]

San Juanillo Guanacaste 🇨🇷🌊🌎

[@Infinitejoy81]

Do you have any recommendations for Puerto Limón?

[@FiredUpDanceFitness]

4 ladies who like to boogie board. We would like to visit Drakes Bay, maybe Lapa Rios. Any recommendations would be appreciated. We are a little spoiled so we would like a nice place. We want to see all the wild life too.

[@febsign6110]

I will be going to Tambor beach looking at a lot to purchase. I see you were close to that area and any opinions for that area ? Looks like you have enjoyed Costa Rica to the fullest. Hope to do the same. Thanks for the info

[@pelagia5315]

Hi!! Is it safe to rent a car and drive around the country from ur experience?

[@AlexanderAyling]

Yes for sure. It’s the best option by far for traveling in CR. I’ve got a link in the video description with a great rental car company.

Do you recomand to book the hotels before arriving there or what about to book spontaneously in costa rica🙈 Thanks!

[@AlexanderAyling]

I like to set the first one or two hotels and leave a little bit of space to book later in the trip. I find the best rates on this website. agoda.tp.st/8cX0epof

Hi where did u rent car from ? How much for that , thanks.

[@Mkaela90]

Do I need tor rent s car for tamarindo?

[@briangonsalez2173]

Humming bird = Chupa Rosa or Colibrí 😊

[@AlexanderAyling]

Ya sabes!

[@chilldany]

Hummingbird is “colibrí” in Spanish

[@streetlevel4996]

Also if ya dig and enjoyed this video Costa Rico which was cool and still a long haired after all these years though with a changed heart and peace 😀 you may also enjoy the song " Most of All " By Glenn Kaiser and Where Roses Grow Live by Rez Band Awesome songs check them out. Also I remember hearing the song by Led Zepp " In My Time of Dyin " during my drug years and made me think about death and Jesus. Then a hippy friend that dug Jesus told me more of Jesus love and forgiveness and how I could also know Jesus love. So in 1981 I cried out to Jesus and wow man He came into my life and I had and have so much joy and peace and now know that through Jesus when I die I will be with Him in Heaven. Hey Jesus loves each of you also and yall can know Him if you are at all open. Just cry out to Him and a good question to ask yourself if you were to die today would you go to heaven ? And if yes why ? To find out more please read the Gospel of John in the Bible or check out the movie on KZbin. 😀

Tabacon used to cost just $4-5 back in the early 90's for entrance to the pool and grounds, and was only $12-15 a night for a room. then MTV came and ruined our secret getaway and told the whole world
