re: Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica

Arenal is awesome.

Interesting, I may change my mind still. I just have a couple friends already going who rented a house on the beach there and invited me along.

I thought about going volcano Arenal instead, which seems like an awesome spot.

we loved puerto viejo. It was our favorite place in costa rica. And its got better weather in September when the rest of the country is getting rain. It gets less.

we rented a cabana on the beach, and cooked most of our meals. we did a bird watch tour that was pretty cool. We went snorkeling which was meh.

we did several vegetarian restaurants which were all really good.

Cauhita was gorgeous, but don't pay to snorkel there as you can do the same trip for free. Manzuinilla was a bit of dump but the main hike was pretty sweet with some stellar beaches.

We would go back in a second. But it was a pain in the arse to get to. We liked it better than the 2 other spots we went.
