Costa Rica - Portero Beach

I could live in Costa Rica. I totally could. It’s just my kind of hot, which is SUPER hot and super humid! mmmmm yes please. Colorado is way too dry for my liking. Plus, no beaches.


We stayed in Portero and rented a house on the hill that had the BEST views of the ocean. A private infinity pool was the cherry on top! We could hear howler monkeys every morning, and even saw a few once!


Here are a few of my favorite parts of our trip:


Perlas – If you’re ever in Potrero you MUST stop by Perlas. We ate breakfast there every day, SO good!


Las Brisas – Another amazing restaurant, this one is on the beach and it had the best fish and chips I’ve ever had.


-Monkeys!! We could hear them every morning and saw a pack (heard? clan? parliament?) of them one night swinging from the trees.


-Catamaran Tour – We took a catamaran ride to go snorkeling and watch the sunset. A pod (I know this one) of dolphins came and swam around our boat for a little while. Dolphins are one of my favorite animals, and always have been, so this was a little slice of heaven for me. Plus the view of the coast was so beautiful!


-The gorgeous bougainvillea tree (bush, plant, I have no idea) out by our pool. These were everywhere in Costa Rica and I fell in love! So pretty!


-Traveling the world with our very best friends, who are always good for a laugh, will be your boogie-board buddies, will brave the Oregon Trail with you (we’ll beat it one day!) and the best travel companions and friends we could ask for! Where we headed next?!
