I used to reduce pics for /trv/ threads, and some people complained and wanted them full sized.

Sure.

I was in Costa Rica for about two months in 2014. I started off with a couple of days in Alajuela just planning ahead and stuff.
I happen to know a Costa Rican guide, who I went to spend some of days with and we went to the Corcovado national park for a three day trip together. An absolutely amazing place, for sure one of the highlights.
Following that, I continued my trip alone going to Monteverde and from there to La Fortuna where I went one a day trip to the Volcan Tenorio national park.
My next stop was Puerto Viejo de Sarapiqui (not to be confused with Puerto Viejo de Talamanca), an underrated place to visit I think. Another underrated gem was San Gerardo de Dota up in the mountains, perhaps the best place to see the quetzal. From here, I met with my Costa Rican friend again to hang out with some of his friends and go birding in the San Vito area before I went back to Alajuela for my flight home.

I traveled mainly by public transportation which is cheap and very well functioning. Between Monteverde and La Foruna there is a shuttle service that takes you across a lake by the Arenal volcano which was cool. With my friend from Costa Rica, we drove in his car. That obviously made it a lot easier to get around.

Feel free to ask, if you wanna know anything more specific.

>>1168209
It is a really nice place, although a bit expensive and some place are a bit overrun by Americans.

I will, if you are still around by the time I get beyond the "OI think I want to go there" stage. In the meantime, I'm copy-pastaing a note to myself of what you wrote.

My wife works for non-profits as a consultant, one of her clients has their annual auction coming up and an item up for bid is a house for two weeks in Costa Rica. If prices stay reasonable, I may go for that. If I get the house, I'll nail down where it is in the country and come back to you; I hope you hang around /trv/ when this thread dies.

This is the closest thing I saw to wildlife in Japan ...

Saw these manatees off of Sarasota, FL. Looked like they were playing around, doing flips and rubbing against each other. They slowly drifted past our boat and off into the sunset. I almost lost my shit the first time one poked his fat, blubbery face out of the water and looked at us.

We we're guessing that they were fleeing a red tide which had killed a bunch of fish in the area.
