Think you can handle 72 hours in Costa Rica?!

So much to do, so little time. However, it can be done in little time. The idea was inspired by those 72-hours articles in the New York Times and long weekends that needed filling, but we wanted to do it Outerthere style. So, we bought our tickets to the capital and from San Jose, we were able to get around anywhere in country within a couple of hours. I wanted to step up my paddle game, so that's what I did. Oh, and those spas tho...

Day 1. Arrived in San Jose. Settled into your hostel.

Day 2. Zip lined Costa Rican jungle canopies!

Day 3. Whitewater rafted the ridiculous Pacuare River!

Day 4 (Bonus day, it was a leap year. Really.) Tabacon hot springs. Departed Costa Rica after.

""Hi Al!, So you need a room for the night of the 25th as well?" Me, "Wow, I'm an idiot. I totally didn't realize that I'd be needing a place to sleep the night I arrived, thinking I'd booked a red-eye..." Who else forgets these little details after they've booked a flight? Am I right?! But Darrylle noticed, graciously pointed it out for me, and made booking that extra night super easy. And that's the kind of attention to detail that Darrylle and Kanti deliver when you stay with them."
