Kate & I visited Costa Rica for 8 days in March 2017. Since we’re both avid birders, we enjoyed all the tropical birds that were new to us.We flew into San Jose, met up with two family members, then drove our rental vehicle to Quepos on the Pacific coast about 4 hours away. We stayed at Villa Tekla, a beautiful, 3-level home & used it as our base of operations for 5 days while exploring the area. Highlights of our visit included visits to Raintree Conservation Project, Parque National Manuel Antonio, Parque National Manuel Ballena, Eco Hacienda Baru, Restaurante Georgiana in the Central Mountains & all the birds & animals we saw. Although visiting Costa Rica had been on our bucket list for years, we can’t check it off. We liked it so much, we want to return!
