Costa Rica – Pura Vida

After departing San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua we headed south towards Santa Rosa national park. This area is often plagued by heavy winds blowing from the Caribbean, called Papagayos. We were lucky, we had near perfect conditions.

As we entered Santa Elena bay, we dropped anchor in front of the entry to a lagoon which we would visit in the coming days. But first a dive into the water and on to a refreshing swim.

The following day we met up with our friends and went exploring the nearby lagoon. And after lunch we’re up for a hike in the afternoon. About an hour up a river bed, we found a small waterfall, just enough to take a bath.
