Part of it sounds creepy, or is it just me?

[@fluffyfox6045]

MiguelPmpM yeah 😂😂😂

[@generalalduin9548]

You mean the part with the weird whispering

[@Youtubing4time]

It does get creepy at times, mostly iln the early morning depending on your location. In tortuguero you get woken up by the sound of the beginning + howling monkeys 😍

[@jrmusan]

I like the real sounds instead of annoying music, nice.

[@GhaithMu]

Sound editing were inconsistent, while the videography was great

[@EduNauta95]

It was intentional

[@8ievaieva8]

[@carolinadelaossa7383]

Actually you forgot the uses of the phrase Pura vida. 1) Pura vida?: how's it going? 2) Pura vida: yes I'm doing wonderful. 3)pura vida!: thank you. 4)he/she is Pura vida: he/she is nice (also used to describe places).

[@quinnthehobbit6680]

Yes but they were going for the literal translation, "pure life"

[@6023barath]

Beautiful!
