Never going to live down that “Europia” mistake 🥲

[@lilliamrodriguez8347]

Awesome, thank you man! A few new videos dropping this week, stay tuned 🙏🏼

[@12moodyblues]

Glad I found your channel, it definitely is a beautiful city. ❤❤

[@AldoPaganiJr]

You just made my day! Thanks so much for that 🫶

[@andygonzalez8741]

My boy Aldo! Can’t wait to see the journey! Would love to see you guys try some pupusas in el salvador when you go

[@AldoPaganiJr]

My brotha ❤️ Definitely will be eating a lot of pupusas! Exited for El Salvador!

[@fridge_mx4743]

OMG i fell in love with this place when i stumbled upon it a couple years ago. Too bad it is far too expensive for me.

[@AldoPaganiJr]

For me as well! 😅 Not bad for a visit every once in a while.

[@michaelpaolini]

I've watch half a dozen videos on Las Catalinas, and this is by far the best - also the first to show the parking and trails. Well done. (though rather than speculate on rentals, you should have asked and overlaid the answer in editing.

[@AldoPaganiJr]

Wow, thanks! Yeah thinking about it know, I should’ve asked 😅

[@DRCRANKNSTEIN]

2 drinks $24 ???? ha ha, that's like downtown Zürich- I thought I heard it all.....thanks for the heads up on rip off prices- ouch! plus the place looks haunted- no one there...

[@AldoPaganiJr]

Definitely not cheap! Keep in mind, this place is meant for tourists, you will see little to no locals here!

[@VegetaUnv7]

When I hear people be surprised anything in Latin America feels like Europe I can't help to ask "WHY DO YOU THINK THAT IS???It's almost as if Latin America wasn't colonized by EUROPEANS!!! 🙄🙄

[@AldoPaganiJr]

I totally understand what your saying and you make a lot of sense. What I meant is that as a dual citizen of the US and Costa Rica, I was still surprised to see this kind of development in Guanacaste. I’ve lived in Costa Rica for years and I wouldn’t say it’s normal to see a place like this around here. Anyways, thanks for the comment 😊

[@katiesutter7781]

Let’s goooo!!!

[@gilzuniga6692]

We found a place in Costa Rica that is nothing like Costa Rica

[@AldoPaganiJr]

That sounds like a better title then mine 🤣

[@DRCRANKNSTEIN]

3 dollars "an hour" to park your car? sounds like Switzerland, actually that's higher!! I know I live here in Switzerland.

[@AldoPaganiJr]

Crazy 👀

[@itsZBar]

Nice man. What camera you shooting with?

[@AldoPaganiJr]

Thanks man, just a GoPro 9. The footage doesn’t have any color grade either 😅

[@rigogman]

“Bailey is a full explorer 😎🤩🥹

Star of the video 😮‍💨

Time to hit the road 🚗

[@AldoPaganiJr]

Adventure awaits 😎

[@jaipinderrana7687]

My friend lives in Costa Rica 🇨🇷 from India. He is an actor in the movies.his name is Parbhakar Saran

[@AldoPaganiJr]

That’s so cool! Any movies I may know? Would love to check him out.

[@jaipinderrana7687]

[@johnrodriguez9376]

Bailey is fr the star

[@AldoPaganiJr]

SHE IS!

[@marcelus85er]

if there is wildlife around you need to keep it on a leash, at least in Cost Rica

[@AldoPaganiJr]

Makes sense 💯

[@tonyminutti5277]

Wait until you get to Mexico 😂😂 most of our viceroyal (incorrectly called “colonial”) cities are like European cities transporter to America! I recommend a lot of the cities in the Bajío region which has the most (Querétaro, Guanajuato, Morelia, Guadalajara, Los Altos de Jalisco, San Miguel de Allende, San Luis Potosí, etc…) but even when you enter Mexico say through Tapachula, you get to see stuff like this…even the German region called Nueva Alemania with the German houses where they still make amazing coffee! There’s a place like this near Mexico City called Val’Quirico really close to the beautiful city of Puebla which is a town that resembles a Tuscan medieval town and it’s actually very well done! But nearby is a town called Chipilo which was founded by northern Italian immigrants in the 1800’s and they still speak the Veneto language there and make amazing food! They’re like my long distance cousins haha very affordable food and drinks and great people!

[@AldoPaganiJr]

Mexico is a special place, counting down the days to get there! 💯 Anyways thanks for all the recommendations. We already planned to go to Tapachula, Puebla and Mexico City but now I feel like I have to visit the Bajío region as well! 👀

[@tonyminutti5277]

@@AldoPaganiJr I mean…Mexico City is one of my favourite cities in the world with so much to do and see and eat…but Puebla is so beautiful and it’s surrounded by other beautiful towns (Cholula, Atlixco, Chipilo, Tlaxcala, etc…) and the Bajío is where I’m from (the city of Morelia) and it’s the most beautiful part of Mexico when it comes to architecture and people haha Los Altos de Jalisco being especially strong in those two last categories 😂😂 and there’s a somewhat new attraction in the Bajío which is the wine country that goes from Querétaro-Guanajuato-San Luis Potosi-Zacatecas-Aguascalientes-Jalisco and even north of Morelia…but the big three are Guanajuato, Querétaro and Aguascalientes outside the Guadalupe Valley near Ensenada in northern Mexico! Highly recommended. Just subscribed to your channel! Can’t wait to see the journey through Central America to get to Mexico! Tapachula should be interesting these days because of the migration crisis going on! So just be extra careful! But the Ruta del Cafe near Tapachula is highly recommended!

[@tonyminutti5277]

And of course Jalisco for the Tequila…but that’s a no brained 😂😂

[@AldoPaganiJr]

@@tonyminutti5277 You had me at wine country! I'm GOING 🤣 I genuinely appreciate all this information! It is going to be so helpful when the time comes. Thanks for Subscribing 😊

[@AldoPaganiJr]

@@tonyminutti5277 It ain't Mexico without the best Tequila in the world 💯

[@user-dj9uf2ou2w]

😂😂😂😂 Europe!!

[@AldoPaganiJr]

🤣🤣

[@VedRamasami]

Dude if you find a place that looks like Europe in CR....stay away coz people don't come here for that.

[@AldoPaganiJr]

You’re 100% right! I’m from Costa Rica, so I’ve explored almost every part of the country, but was curious about this one 😅 But couldn’t agree more, if your visiting costa rica for the first time, then this is pointless

[@solntom]

Nice place but this community resembles the stereotipical American interpretation of Mediterranian villages. A lot closer to Las Vegas than Europe. Cute dog! Pura vida, mae

[@AldoPaganiJr]

I can see that as well! I gotta make it up to Vegas soon, still haven’t gone. Are you from there? Anyways, thanks for comment. Pura Vida Mi Bro 🤙

[@R2D2fhjks]

Las Catalinas sucks.

[@AldoPaganiJr]

@@R2D2fhjks Can’t blame you for that opinion. It’s really touristy!
