Costa Rica Cuisine


 Costa Rica is by far my most favorite vacation destination so far. We spent 10 days backpacking the country and engaged in some of the most heart pounding experiences ever.

 Activities included waterfall rapelling, canopy zip lining, bathing in the natural hot springs, hiking volcanoes, snorkeling, horse back riding, fire dances and partying it up at the Beach Reggae Nights.

Puggo's In Montezuma Costa Rica was my favorite restaurant to eat at while we were there. It was recommended to us by a local expat that we met at bar.  I have to admit, I was a little apprehensive about eating raw beef in Costa Rica, but the beef Carpaccio was amazing! We did not get sick at all! The fresh home made complimentary flat bread  was to diet for!
