First CR triathlon…first solo road trip…and a little added adventure of figuring out how/where to charge my car with the assistance of some kind helpers. ❤️

I’ve found a great running/triathlon team here that has embraced the gringa. ;) So I’ve been excited to do my first triathlon in Costa Rica…and then I realized that it was the same weekend that Rick would be on an annual fishing trip, so competing would mean driving myself…for the first time outside of San José…for 3.5 hours to the beach…and then figuring out the charging network for my electric vehicle. Hmm.

I sat on the decision for a couple weeks…and then signed up. Figured if I had paid the $, I’d have to figure it out! So grandma to the rescue…she flew down to stay with Kai and I packed up the car.

I got lucky with a gorgeous day and a great stretch of new highway to the beach. And I knew I was as heading in the right direction when I pulled up behind a van with about 15 bikes on top. Step 1…get there, solo. Done!

So I found my Airbnb, got my race packet and figured I should charge my car so I didn’t worry about it the next day as I headed home after the race. You see, I decided to buy an EV as we moved to CR, but I had yet to drive it outside of San Jose since Rick always drives his car for road trips. So I had never charged my car outside of our garage. Hmm…adventure #2…

Easily found the first charger right near packet pickup…no luck. For some reason it doesn’t seem to recognize my car, despite a very kind American man trying to help me. No problem…I find another charger in my app and head to the next town north. After talking my way into the hotel where it was located with my limited Spanish…again, no luck. But the sweet men pictured above must have pushed every button trying to help. Hmm. Okay, no problem…headed to the next town south. At this point I’m getting a tour of Guanacaste I hadn’t planned on, but I have time and still plenty of charge, so Pura Vida! Third charger…in front of a hardware store in a small town…it works! But will take 8 hours. Oh my…not exactly where I thought I’d spend my beach weekend pre-triathlon. So I message my Airbnb host who mentions a new charger back near where I am staying, which is not yet in my app. Success! I plug my car in and head to the beach to see where we will start the swim in the morning and to watch the sunset. I’m feeling quite accomplished…and I haven’t even done a triathlon yet!

Post sunset, I retrieve my (fully charged, whew!) car and head to dinner with my team. Ready for step #3 of the weekend…the actual triathlon!

Ready…swim, bike, run, done! So much fun. In the US, triathlon rules prohibit spectators from assisting athletes in any way. But here, every team had a tent and volunteers with water, ice, sports drink and would cheer on and chase down their teammates with whatever they needed! The energy was amazing!

After the rest of the team finished their longer races I grabbed breakfast (gallo pinto, typical CR breakfast, never tasted so good!) and got on the road back home to San Jose.

Just the weekend I needed. Out of my comfort zone for sure but I’ll admit I felt pretty proud of myself for just doing it.

Thankful for grandma for coming down to be with Kai, Rick for leaving me thoughtful notes of encouragement and my coworkers who were on call if I got myself into trouble on my first solo road trip in a new country. Pura vida!

1 DAY IN SAN JOSÉ

San Jose is the capital of the Republic of Costa Rica; it is the head of the province. The city is the political and economic center of the country. It crowds together more than half of the commerce and the services. It receives his name in honor to Jose of Nazareth, presumed father of Jesus of Nazareth.

The central corner of San Jose was founded the 7th of December in 1848. The population arises around 1737-1738.It has been Costa Rica's capital three times: in 1822, from 1823 to 1834 and from 1838 to the present time.It is a city with a very interesting mixture of history and modernity; although the center of the zone is almost vacated it becomes a crossing site during the day for more than a million people, which generates a road chaos and an increase of the contamination levels.

IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT SAN JOSÉ:

One day it's enough for visiting the city

We stayed at HOTEL SURA

2 DAYS IN TORTUGUERO

Tortuguero National Park (TNP) is located northeast of Costa Rican territory and is one of the main tourist icons of Costa Rica since it is internationally recognized for protecting the most important green turtles nesting beach in the Western Hemisphere.

Away from the city and made up by an extensive network of rivers and canals, the access is possible only through small boats: this way the Tortuguero National Park is, a place unlike any other; where small communities surrounding Protected Wilderness Area, as Barra del Tortuguero and San Francisco, still retain their traditions and also enjoy the benefit of having the bicycle as their main transportation method, making the travel a true encounter with Caribbean culture.

2 DAYS IN LA FORTUNA

The La Fortuna region has always been beautiful, but it has not always been this calm. On a clear day, the majestic Arenal Volcano can be seen looming over this peaceful town. La Fortuna’s history is intimately connected with the region’s volcano. Now dormant, there was a time when it was awake and ferocious! On the morning of July 29th, 1968, Arenal Volcano violently erupted — spewing ash, rocks, and gas for three consecutive days. As the smoke cleared, the villages of Tabacón, Pueblo Nuevo, and San Luis were found buried under the debris, with 87 people dead.

Out of this tragedy, La Fortuna (The Fortune) was born as the central town in the Arenal Volcano area. The region has become a successful travel destination, and (like the whole of Costa Rica), is a champion of sustainability. As for Arenal Volcano, it’s now dormant, so you can enjoy its beauty up-close in the Arenal Volcano National Park without being in harm’s way.

IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT LA FORTUNA:

We stayed at ESSENCE AND SPA ARENAL, super cheap hostel but full of services: yoga, pool, laundry, spa and a delicious vegan cuisine

Make sure to try the HOT SPRINGS. There are also FREE hot Springs on the way to the hostel. Just 10 dollars for the car keepers are required

Walk around and hike the Volcano in the National Park 🌋

Try SODA MIMA and SODA LA COCINA DE MAMÁ. Soda are little trattorie, the best way to eat local, a lot and at a really good price - Skip restaurants!

2 DAYS IN MONTEVERDE

Monteverde is a small town in the mountain ranges of Costa Rica and a major destination for ecotourism in the country. About 3 hours from San Jose, it is one of our top recommended destinations in Costa Rica. Monteverde is the best place to experience a cloud forest. Cloud forests were given their name because you will see a thin veil of clouds just below the canopy. The clouds eventually dissipate into water on the leaves and drip down, watering the plants below. It is breathtaking to see from above.

The three main reserves that protect the sustainability of the cloud forest covered mountains in this part of Costa Rica are the Monteverde Reserve, the Santa Elena Reserve, and the Children’s Eternal Rainforest. A quarter of a million tourists from all over the world come here to explore these biodiverse highlands. There’s a total of 755 tree species there, which means, that one square mile, The Monteverde Cloud Forest can have more species of trees than the entire Unites States of America. Visit Monteverde to experience what Costa Rica is all about: incredible biodiversity and environmental preservation.

IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT MONTEVERDE:

We stayed at GREEN TREE B&B, an amazing tree house - a unique experience to try

The road to Monteverde is hard - make sure to have a 4x4

On the road to Monteverde you will drive along the LAKE ARENAL. Make sure to do a stop there!

The entrance to the BOSQUE NEBULOSE is 25 dollars - it's a lot but it really worths, as you can do different trails and walk the whole day☁☁

2 DAYS QUEPOS/UVITA

MANUEL ANTONIO

The magic of the beach and the greenery of the forest come together in one place, and the result is a natural paradise. Not in vain the Manuel Antonio National Park is the Protected Wild Area that receives the largest number of national and international tourists.

In a short trip you can cross several paths that will take you through a primary forest. You will also have stunning views of the sea and you can enjoy the wildlife that is possible to find at any time.

UVITA

Just 1 hour from Manuel Antonio, Uvita is a small town that is easy to get around as it has paved roads throughout.

Additionally, National Geographic describes it as the “most biologically intense place on Earth in terms of biodiversity.”
