La Fortuna offers so much variety when it comes to things to do and see in Costa Rica! We spent four days in La Fortuna and enjoyed every minute of it, especially because everything was so affordable! The local food was so flavorful and being immersed in such lush nature was absolutely breath-taking. If you’re lucky, you might catch a view of the Arenal Volcano when it’s not hiding behind the clouds. We were able to see the sunset over the volcano and it was a sight like no other! La Fortuna is amazing overall. Don’t get us started on the waterfalls and the sky blue waters – watch for yourself!

The Hertz/Firefly Car Rental in San Jose Costa Rica provided the WORST customer service we have ever experienced from a car rental place (They gave away the automatic car we reserved, only gave us an option to drive a manual car which we were unable to do, and even if we were able to drive manual they increased the daily rental price 10-fold).
We recommend you look elsewhere for a car rental (https://www.discovercars.com/?a_aid=chewstoexplore) or check out our truly AMAZING Uber driver and friend named ALEJANDRO who drove us all over Costa Rica (details linked in our 4-day Costa Rica Itinerary).

How did you get the flight so cheap??
Life is short. Visit Costa Rica!
Is the waterfall water deep
Awesome video thank you!
Epic video! You guys helped me plan for this trip, thanks 🙂
You can catch an Uber….you just have to leave a larger than normal tip. Works for me every time.
what month did you guys go?
I'll be going on my bucket list dream vacation this coming year 2023. I have found this video the most helpful as I want to visit La Fortuna. I'll most likely mirror what you guys have done. I'll be sure to book Alenjandro for my Uber rides if he is available.
thanks guys ! 🙂 helpful video
We are going to Costa Rica next month. Some great advise you gave us 😁

Thanks for sharing your experience in our beautiful country 🌋
Hey yaw! New follower here! I love the content! This is what I love to see when I search for vlogs👏🏾. Thank you for aways being so informative! With that being said, Could you all please shed some light on how you find such cheap flights🙏🏾 and how you plan the trips? .. or could you point me to a video if you’ve already done so? I’m new to planning my own vacations and I feel like I always pay way too much. I use various apps and websites but I haven’t had much success on my own. Thanks again for all the great content! Please keep it coming 👍🏾
This is exactly how to travel cheap and respectful to locals and nature, you just got a new subscriber
This was a prefect video . Can you talk a little about the temperature? I realize it’s rain…. But what the weather feeling like ? Looks muggy but a good muggy lol
❤ what time of the year did y’all go?
Hi, I'm planning on going to Costa Rica in July and this vid was super helpful! I especially appreciated how you included the prices of things and the free activities. I am curious about the mosquitos though. I read in a few different travel blogs that mosquito nets are highly recommended for sleeping at night. Any thoughts on this? Also, were there lots of mosquitoes while you guys were out and about exploring?
What is the nane of the air bnb you stayed in in LA fortuna?
I really love the sunset with volcano!!! Amazing
I have been watching a bunch of travel guides because I’m planning a trip to Costa Rica and this is the only one that gives you nice information of free spots to enjoy but also prices on the ones that are not so you can have an idea to plan properly! Thank you guys! Amazing video💙
what month did you visit?
You did this was with a bomb
Great vlog guys😎🥳
Wow great video.
Hello from istanbul 🤗
Very nice watching your video guys ! It s the best i ve seen, thank you
Whoa looks like a super fun adventure! Super impressed you guys were able to find stuff for so cheap! We're in Costa Rica now and at least in the Quepos and Jaco area, things seem priced similar to the US. Great Video!
Visit costa rica again, this video was amazing!!
Y’all are the best kind of travelers. Hope y’all had beautiful times 💕
Great video 💯
Enjoyed your video was there 20 years ago now I want to go back. Thank you
Do either of you guys speak Spanish? If not how did you communicate on the trip?
