I arrived to San Jose around midday and I headed straight to Casa Manga for lunch, a super cool Japanese restaurant that really makes you feel like you are inside a manga. I had spicy ramen and it was delicious

After lunch I went to the bus terminal by Uber (it’s not a nice area so everyone recommended to not walk there) and I took a bus to Tamarindo which took about 6 and a half hours. I arrived to my hostel Selina Tamarindo and spent the night having drinks at the hostel with some new friends

I rented a surfboard at the hostel for about 15 dollars for half a day and walked to Tamarindo beach for a morning session. You can also take classes and it will cost you about 50 usd for a couple of hours

For lunch I went to Wild Panda, which is located on the Main Street and inside a little food court where you can find different types of food. I got this yummy Taco Salad, pretty big and with lots of fresh food. One of the few salads I had that actually made me feel full 😅

In the afternoon I just chilled with some friends on the beach and we stayed until evening having drinks and enjoying the beautiful sunset. If you wanna walk until the end of the beach on the left side towards playa Langosta, you’ll find a pretty nice viewpoint on top of the rocks. Just ask for ‘El Mirador’ and someone should be able to show you the place

On of the main places where people go out at night is Pacifico, located between the beach and the Main Street. It’s a small bar but it gets very full of people and most of the nights they either have live music or dj.

We woke up very early to make the most of the boat trip. We were headed to Witch’s Rock, one of the most famous surf spots in the region. In order to get there you need to drive for about an hour to Playa del Coco and then take a boat.

From Playa del Coco we took a one 40 min boat to the famous Witches Rock, or Roca Bruja as they call it in Spanish. All surfers were so excited! The waves were perfect and the beach can only be reached by boat, so we were almost the only ones in this tropical paradise. I spent the day on the beach taking surf photos and it was so much fun! If you come, just make sure you bring your own food, water and sunscreen, because you aren’t not gonna be able to get anything on the beach.

Every Thursday there is a night market in Tamarindo where you can get a lot of delicious food, clothes, souvenir and much more. Usually there’s also a live band and people dancing. It was really fun!

If you want to explore the mangroves, you can walk all the way to the right on Tamarindo beach up to the river, and there you’ll see several boats that offer guided tours along the river where you’ll be able to see a lot of unique birds, iguanas, and if you are lucky some crocodiles!

In the afternoon I was picked up by the shuttle company, and I arrived to Santa Teresa after a 5 hours drive. They dropped me off at Akih Pods hostel, a cute cheap hostel with a great vibe.

We took a long walk along the beach and then decided to rent a surf board. If you are not a pro (like me lol) you might consider going to other beaches like Playa Hermosa that are better for beginner. The waves in playa Santa Teresa can get quite dangerous sometimes.

We rented ATVs in Santa Teresa (there are many places in town that offer them, and we spent around 30$ each; anyone can drive them as long as they have a driving license). We drove them for about an hour across rivers and forest, super fun!

We arrived at a point where we had to leave the ATVs and start hiking. We had to walk on slippery rocks and cross rivers and it was not easy at all. Thank god we found a local guide that helped us to get there in the easiest way. Unfortunately the conditions weren’t optimal and the water was very muddy and brown, but it’s supposed to be beautiful on other days.

After coming back and having a good lunch in the center of Montezuma, we headed to the beach. There, there is a turtle conservation project managed by volunteers that almost every day during some months liberate baby turtles into the ocean. It’s called Asvo if you wanna google it and call them for info. We were lucky to see them and it was the cutest thing ever 🥰
