When renting a car in CR or anywhere, always take pictures of the car, to avoid being charged for damages that were already there.

I'm from Costa Rica and I love when I find videos of people talking wonders about my country. It really fill us with joy knowing somebody enjoys it so much visiting us.
Thank you very much for this amazing video.
Pura Vida!

You're a pro, Alex. As a permanent resident for 15 years now, I almost wish your tour wasn't so good! I've wanted to shut the door behind me since I moved here! There are thousands of tourists annually, some who are diligent about protecting this incredible country, and others who are not. If you visit, please show respect for the wonderful people of Costa Rica and the paradise which they allow you into. If you ask a Tico for help, and show your respect, it will be given. If you speak Spanish, you're apt to quickly meet some new friends.

I was born and raised in Costa Rica ever since I was 7-8 years old but then moved to the US, and I haven’t been there for 4 years and this videos really made me miss CR. Also, I love how you describe our beautiful country and thank you so much for enjoying and loving our country!! Pura Vida!🇨🇷🇨🇷

edit: omg hey y’all 2022 update but after 7 years i was finally able to go and visit family! :D

[kimberlypuravida]

Ok the end just brought tears to my eyes... I fell in love with Costa Rica because of the Ticos! The Ticos are my family! La vida en Costa es perfecto! Ciao

Well Alex, let me tell you a little something, as a 40 year old Costa Rican traveler I can safely say this is by far the most informative and well put together tips video for visiting my country in YouTube. Well done sir!! P.S. Hummingbird is Colibrí in Spanish.... Pura vida!

[ticabaum]

I’m from Costa Rica but I live in California currently. The word for hummingbird is COLIBRÍ.

I am Costa Rican and every time I see this kind of videos I feel truly grateful for living here and is just wonderful that other people can enjoy as much as we do every day. Even for us this is a magical place to live for its nature and everything that is around us. Pura vida!

[melanierea]

I’m a Costarican living in the USA and this video made me miss my country even more 😭❤️ . Loved this video.

[taniaquiros]

What an amazing video! You captured a bit of the essence of CR. As a Costa Rican who's been traveling for a long time, this made me feel nostalgic, yet proud and happy to have been born in such a jewel. Thank you for putting this together Alex, it is a great guide for visitors!

[SarahBlueJ]

Planning my first trip to Costa Rica for May. Wanting to spend 3 days on a beach then 3 days more inland. I’d love to stay somewhere with a volcano view. This trip is a treat to myself for becoming a cancer survivor and celebrating the end of my treatments.

[kristencook]

If you go to Costa Rica’s beaches PLEASE DONT STILL THE SHELLS!! It’s ilegal to still shells from the beaches in Costa Rica and please don’t do it. There are less shells everyday because people are stilling them and taking them home!

[valen-pf]

I am a Argentinian guy that lives in Costa Rica, and is the best country I ever went to and lived. I also lived in Brazil

[tipsybass]

This came to me at a perfect time. I’m planning my trip as we speak. I’m not perfect in Spanish, but I think I’ll do just fine being immersed in it. I’m coming for the rich biodiversity; and how the residents take care of what beautiful sites they live with. My grandpa was there every year before he passed.

[Diegoal]

What a way of describing my little but amazing piece of land! I've been almost 10 years living in the middle east, in the desert and I miss so much all our nature, we're really blessed! Pura vida Alexander for all ur kind words about our country and our people!!!

My wife is from Costa Rica & I'm from northern Mexico . Although Mexico if larger than CR by far and has so many beautiful Cities, jungles and gorgeous beaches, it's a real shame that it's national security is so bad that I prefer to spend our month long vacation in this small beautiful country of Costa Rica. I'm more attracted to mountains and jungles and Costa Rica as small as it is, it offers all of this in a matter of ours. I hardly reccomend Turrialba, If you want a town to just lay back for few days, then go trekking on the hills, enjoy the gorgeous mountain views, visit coffe plantations, come back to your place, relax, go out to one of many restaurants up on the hills, then contact the local white water rafting company for the best rivers in C.Rica, right there in Turrialba, there's also good cannoying and zip lines . What makes the difference really is it's people. Man! I love this country. Blessings Vagabond!

[hildaovalles]

Hummingbirds= Colibri. That's how I know then in. Spanish.

I will be living in Costa Rica for a college program very soon, can’t wait!!✨🇨🇷
