We made our way back to the pacific coast and needless to say the weather turned hot and humid again. Lots of popular and touristy beach towns, lots of signs everywhere with zip-lining tours, eco tours through national parks etc.…
Costa Rica – Pura Vida
Two more days we spent in San Juan del Sur, a coastal town in southwest Nicaragua about 40 Minutes from the Costa Rican border. Again a popular town amongst surfers, although you have to take a bus that takes you to…
