Warning: Picture heavy!
But it’s worth it, I promise. 
The beach in Puerto Viejo on the Caribbean coast. Nice but too coral reefy to play in.
Typical Costa Rican food: Gallo Pinto (rice and beans with coconut milk), slaw (already eaten) and shrimp. NOM NOM NOM.
Went to a sloth sanctuary in nearby Cahuita, where we saw these bebe sloths in sweateaws. Check out the eye capsules.
First time white water rafting at Rio Toro.
Taking a swimming break with my boyfriend.
La Fortuna Waterfall: the single most breathtaking waterfall I’ve ever seen.
The really cold swimming area. So invigorating!
Badass. Rapelling down waterfall #1. This was one of the highlights of my trip for sure.
I did really well in this rappel. Can you say, pro? 
Getting ready for my last rappel. 60 metres down!
Ziplines at Monteverde. The longest zip line was about 600 metres long and 80 metres above ground. This was probably the scariest thing because you control how fast you want to go, but at the same time, you don’t want to brake too hard that you slow down and don’t even make it to the finishing platform. Loved this!
In the same tour, they also had a Tarzan swing, which I had to try. I was having second thoughts when I was next to go. I’m glad to say that it was as fun as it was scary!
LOL. Crying face. We bought the picture package from the tour because of this single picture. Classic! I didn’t actually cry. I was more like “shitting my pants scared.”
They turned this tree into a climbing tree. Really cool.
I asked the guide about this orange tree. He said it’s called the Tourist tree. Why? It’s sunburnt. 
Stay tuned…
