An adventure off the beaten path in Costa Rica

It was once upon a time in the beautiful country of cacao and coffee, of sunshine and pristine beaches, palm trees swaying in the wind, Raggae playing out of the narrowest streets, and all Pura Vida vibes.

Not just in Costa Rica, but in the very last corner of it, in the deepest jungle, on a peninsula surrounded by nothing but the wild raging ocean, and next to the wooden giants of the lush green rainforest. Getting there is a whole other story - but not the one to be told today.

How is travel looking like now? 

Throughout the previous few months, we've seen a return to practically "normal" in the world of travel.  Interstate travel in the U.S was returning.

Presently, it appears to be that the most recent COVID-19 Delta variation is threatening to ruin everything for travelers. So here you will get to know about the newest variation's pros and cons, as well as how they may influence travel this year.

Watch the sea light up and dive in

First of all, we want to explain to you what bioluminescence actually is. Sea lights, or bioluminescence, is created by a collection of microorganisms that are activated by touch and then light up. So it is not the sea itself that glows, but the thousands and thousands of plankton or algae. Therefore, this type of bioluminescence can be observed mainly on beaches, but also in the sea. In general, marine luminescence is possible everywhere, but it requires a large number of microorganisms in one place and optimal water conditions. Today we show you the best places to experience bioluminescence.
