Sandwiched between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, this isthmus nation has become a popular destination thanks to mild tropical weather, carefree vibes, and scenery featuring everything from volcanoes to monkeys.

Day 1 began from San José (arrival city and the capital) to Playa Herradura. It’s a 94-mile trip that takes you away from the urban hecticness of the city toward the cool blue water of the Pacific Ocean. We also made a couple of sightseeing stops and got a taste of Costa Rican culture. But enough preamble; watch the video and stay tuned for the next three episodes later this week.
