Costa Rica

Costa Rica

Karl first visited Costa Rica in 1992 and had some amazing adventures throughout the country, including multi day backpacking trips through the tropical rainforest on the Caribbean coast and the Osa Peninsula.

When we arrived in Costa Rica, we were worried that Costa Rica would be a lot different than the country he had visited 30 years ago due to the influx of expats and the increase in tourism. But that wasn’t the case. Although there are more expats and tourists in Costa Rica than there were 30 years ago, the percentage of Costa Rica that is covered in forests has actually increased over the last 30 years. And with some help from an old friend and locals we met along the way, we were able to spend time in pristine cloud forests, rain forests and tropical fjords and get up close with the amazing wildlife in them.
