This morning, we are excited to FINALLY have an adult activity… Well, almost as Mael is also joining us. But at least we can be introduced to canyoning, an hybrid  sports between climbing, nature walk and swimming. The goal is to follow a river bed and wherever there is a waterfall, we go down in it!. This is the […]

After a short stay in San Jose, we head east toward the Orosi valley. Our hotel is a charming little cottage with two bedrooms and a kitchen. Sounda is so excited to finally have some control over our food. No more endless waiting in restaurants. We can render those precious hours much more productive, for example by […]

After a few days in the rainforest, we’re back in town. Specifically in the capital, San Jose, to welcome Sounda’s mother. She joins us for three weeks and we will visit the north-eastern portion of the country. Children know it happens today and they got up excited and enthusiastic about the idea of being reunited with someone who […]

We gladly wore our sandals and could pick in the largest selection of clothes in our luggages, the one devoted to a summer climate. Upon arrival at our […]

Yesterday, we all did the 18 zip line at Selvatura Park in Monteverde (3.2 KM long). I had not booked with Uniktour for Lohan and for myself because I wanted to start with an easier adventure. As he loved ( and the word is weak ) his first two experiences, we decided to do this one as a family activity. […]

However, there remains a glimmer of hope that comes from people in a perpetual quest to develop self-sufficient places. Places where nature is inspiring and appreciated in all its splendor. […]

Our journey allows us to discover a variety of places and sometimes we are overwhelmed by the beauty and diversity of a particular location. One of our big favorites of the last year remains the region of Utualdo (Puerto Rico) and in particular, the land owned by Batay Adventures. The lush tropical forests, a beautiful river where […]
