When December arrives in the Northern Hemisphere, our imagination tends to be filled with images of snow, evenings by the fireplace and hot drinks in our hands. A rather stereotypical Christmas postcard, isn’t it? Winter in Costa Rica, on the other hand, means that you will be nice and toasty ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/by-the-sea-in-costa-rica/feed/ 2 https://bkpk.me/the-black-sands-of-drake-bay/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-black-sands-of-drake-bay https://bkpk.me/the-black-sands-of-drake-bay/#comments Tue, 28 Apr 2015 18:42:01 +0000 Ashray http://bkpk.me/?p=15378
The sand is black because this entire region originated due to volcanic activity in the past. Drake Bay is the gateway to Corcovado National Park in Costa Rica. You take a tiny little plane to get from San Jose to Drake Bay. The views along the route are absolutely incredible ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/the-black-sands-of-drake-bay/feed/ 0 https://bkpk.me/a-flight-into-the-jungle/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=a-flight-into-the-jungle https://bkpk.me/a-flight-into-the-jungle/#comments Mon, 05 May 2014 22:49:24 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=12124
How many times does one get to arrive in the middle of a jungle via airplane? Well… that’s what we did in Costa Rica, flying with Nature Air. This local airline operates flights to some of the country’s touristic hot spots.

We were in Corcovado National Park in Costa Rica during February last year. It was hot, humid and wild! Corcovado claims to be one of the most biodiverse places on earth. That claim isn’t surprising considering how you are surrounded by life everywhere!

We started this collaborative series taking a voyage around Asia, exploring popular destinations such as Thailand and the Philippines, and going to others less known yet very interesting, such as Kyrgyszstan.

Corcovado National Park is the playground of one of the most wanted adventures in Costa Rica. Still, it remains as a rather unspoiled and difficult place to access. Although it sits in a remote corner of Costa Rica, this protected area offers tourists the possibility of visiting the rain forest (primary ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/how-to-explore-corcovado-national-park-from-drake-bay/feed/ 14 https://bkpk.me/tamarindo-costa-rica-beaches-beauty-and-adventure/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tamarindo-costa-rica-beaches-beauty-and-adventure https://bkpk.me/tamarindo-costa-rica-beaches-beauty-and-adventure/#comments Sun, 24 Jun 2012 15:45:01 +0000 Micki http://bkpk.me/?p=2874
Tamarindo, Costa Rica is all about contrasts. The streets are dusty and rutted, and the town’s full of tourist and souvenier shops, but the beach is one of the longest in Costa Rica. We were in Tamarindo for over a month, and got to know Tamarindo’s hidden charms (and its warts, ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/tamarindo-costa-rica-beaches-beauty-and-adventure/feed/ 5 https://bkpk.me/grandma-enjoys-a-good-dip/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=grandma-enjoys-a-good-dip https://bkpk.me/grandma-enjoys-a-good-dip/#comments Thu, 24 May 2012 01:11:11 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=2600
When we visited Volcano Arenal, in Costa Rica, we knew we had to go to one of the famous hot springs. There are several places you can go to dip yourself in the warm waters heated up by the volcano’s power.

I love coming across artsy things by chance. It could be street musicians, graffiti, coffee art or, like in this case, carvings on wood! I have seen plenty of wooden carvings in crafts markets, but this was the first time I came across a sculpted figure on a living tree.

A short flight away from San Jose is Corcovado National Park. This place – within the national park – is known as Drake Bay. A rustic jungle town with beaches to die for!

Sometimes the moment gives meaning to a picture. Like the first time that you see the Pacific. The largest ocean on our blue planet. To quote a singer and a poet, it did look like a thousand diamonds. The water is warm and wonderful!]]> https://bkpk.me/my-first-view-of-the-pacific/feed/ 1
