WOW....we are going to have a GREAT TIME on this Tour. I"ll point out many places of interest, great areas to live, and even take a moment or two to look at some real estate in the Tinamaste and Platanillo areas to give you an idea of what is available. I really hope you enjoy this ride and I look forward to finding out....what you think about this Dominical to San Isidro Road.
@@brynecreekmore3570 We'll be talking about that this Sunday.....make sure to attend "live" if possible. Kinda CRAZY all the stuff that is happening now.
Oh, thank you for sharing this. 243 between San Isidro and Dominical is my favorite area in Costa Rica. I just left there a week ago. I felt like I was back there again... so nice to have someone else drive so I can enjoy the views!
Do you really have a horse. That property had a stable ❤️! I do and I can’t leave him behind. But I dream of living here and I enjoy living vicariously thru you and your sweet wife,
Yes...I do have a horse and her name is "Honey" We recently acquired her a few months ago and you may start to see her in videos in the near future...maybe. Thanks for your kind words.
@@meganwilliams292 Great name....I love to ride....and bought Honey to help me with some work...but that work will not last long and then we can just enjoy riding and loving on Honey. Hoping in time to have a colt from her so we enjoy bonding and watching a colt grow in our family.
OH...I'm here to listen, but first...let me tell you I'm sitting in my chair with my shorts, tank top and a fresh cold apple juice. LOL Come lay on my couch and I"ll listen to your pain. I am sorry, you had to work in that snow. I wouldn't want to be in your shoes.
@@OffTheGridHomesteadCostaRica yeaaah probably got covid from the shovel - I think you can get it from lawn mowers too.....thanks for listening.....guess I'm gonna die now.
@Bonnie V Nothing is going on in Canada, same as everywhere. It is world wide what the government is doing. The only thing going on is the government. Advice? Never take the vaccine and never even take a test. It is the tests and the vaccines that are going to spread disease. You can look it up. Many people are warning against the vaccine and against the tests. Avoid all pharmakia if you can. You can look up what pharmakia is too - hint: it is evil. Natural remedies are what the Creator intended for His people.
@@onmykneesforYehova I do agree....we should always try to use natural when we can...God did create something in nature that can heal us, take care of us and give us all that we need. In my honeset opinion...that is.
Great job guys. This info is really helpful for anyone looking to relocate. Can’t wait to do that bike ride and look forward to meeting you both one day. All the best guys. 😎🌴
There are two Platanillos. The one you are passing is Platanillo de Baru, county (canton) Perez Zeledon, district (distrito) Baru, in San Jose province (that is where I live). The listings you are showing are from the other Platanillo in Puntarenas province, about 30 km from here. At least that is what the listings say, unless the listings are incorrect. Platanillo in Puntarenas province is located just off the Costanera Sur, on the way to Quepos.
HEY....that is interesting. I didn't know that. Thanks for pointing that out. I SHOULD have thought about that because Costa Rica commonly has a lot of cities with the same name. Thanks for your input.
@Bonnie V Yes, I'm not surprised that teh developer of the wesite has not made a correction. I"m a website developer and I am constantly amazed at the poor quality websites I see and how broken or dysfunctional they are. But, I guess CR just doesn't have skilled people for that??? But, I'm with you..it would be nice if they fixed it.
Thank you for the info, I am planning to visit Costa Rica next month I want to buy 2 hectares near Rivas to Tinamaste. I really like your channel and I appreciate your and your wife.

How’s it going? I’m an expat, also for the United States, living here in Costa Rica, for 2 years, in la Fortuna, and I also ride motorcycles. I’m always looking for other people to ride with, and new places to visit and see on my bike. Would love to connect with you if you’re interested, maybe go on a ride together, I also love the twistie roads here too, the ride around the Arenal lake, here near Fortuna, is also amazing!!

Great footage! Btw, bikers are also invisible to German Truck drivers;). That is one reason why I sold mine after almost having 2 near accidents. Love your Videos, they are so authentic and helpful
Might have to plan a UTV trip from Montezuma, with our Honda club next January. We have the same UTV's that you show at the beginning of your video. How long would it take to drive from the Puntarenas Ferry Terminal to San Isidro? Could you do it in 1 day? Might need to track you down for a few "Apple Juices!"
I just checked the map and you could make it in one day no problem. Google maps say....4 hours and 38 min from where the ferry drops you off at the Naviera Tambor Port to San Isidro. So, it would be a fun day trip, enjoy the night at a BnB and then head back the next day. Sharing a few Apple Juices might be a good enough reason to make the trip. He he
@@OffTheGridHomesteadCostaRica I will make a plan to gather our group together and make a couple day trip out of it. I don't think any of us have been to that area of Costa Rica yet. How far to Panama border? Maybe we will do a border run at the same time.
I THINK I still look the same...although I did try out a mustache for a little while. But, couldn't get used to it...so it had to go. LOL. THANKS GREATLY for your prayers and concern.

very entertaining the tour. my wife and I are planning a move to dominical, but we have doubts about the facilities in general, can we find a hospital? a large supermarket like walmart? pharmacies? I thank you in advance for the information
Not much in Dominical, but it is only 45 min to San Isidro where you can get everything or go up the coast to Quepos...There you can get most of what you need but not nearly as easy as going to San Isidro in my opinion. The ONLY Walmart on this side outside of San Jose is in San Isidro.
Usually...it is 6 & 6. During rainy season...almost always in the clouds. During dry season, it's usually clear and beautiful, but occasionally gets cloudy during the unusual rains...but they are NOT that unusual for higher climates. (if that makes sense.) Lol
Not to be sarcastic, I like how you say the reflectors are missing or nearly never installed, to me thats normal. You see in climates where the temp is favorable for snow they do not use reflectors as the snow plough would just tear them off. So in short I have never seen them where I have lived in Canada so that is fine by me, no more dangerous than now..lol
That is interesting... I can see WHY it makes sense to NOT install them in Canada. The snow plows would just ruin them. BUT...in Costa Rica, why NOT put them down to help keep people safe? However, it is what it is...and like you say, it's normal in Costa Rica. Thanks for that insight.
@Bonnie V Yes....very much so. I have seen CR install them in some places...but seldom do they last long? And seldom do they get replaced, but hopefully in the future, they might bet better.

hi there , Im from Chile , regards from Santiago . What kind of motorcycle are you driving ? any other bikers around the zone? if you move there , do you recommend to buy a motorcycle ? . Enjoy the ride .
YES...I do recommend buying a bike in Costa Rica. You can find some really nice bikes...but because there are so many dirt roads, in my opinion, just by a good Yamaha or Honda on/off-road bike. You can get a small 125 like mine for about $2,500 or spend a little more for something a bit bigger. I wanted a bigger bike, but when we arrived, we could ONLY find this small bike and we didn't have much of a choice since we didn't have transportation. But...having a bike in CR...sure makes getting around FAST and EASY.
We wanted to move to Costa Rica but do to us needing to have medical insurance do to covid. Not sure if there is better options once your there. Do to just having 90 days stamp on the passport and would need to show proofs every time you enter.Not sure if u have been asked this questions already.Thanks
Everyone has to have insurance because of this COVID issue. Inside our Forum, we list out the best options for insurance. I suggest joining for FREE and reading this article. Travel Insurance createdforsuccess.com/travel-insurance
There is a 911 service, but NOT the same as the USA. When you call 911, it is the Red Cross and then you give them a Physical address that is STRANGE...like go 40 meters past the Catholic church, turn left at the mango tree with the dog tied to it and it's the first blue house on the left.
@@brynecreekmore3570 It is NO different in town. MOST towns don't have street signs so giving directions in town MIGHT be more difficult than outside of town, simply because so many more houses in town. Just a thought.

Are you all stamping out now and if so are you driving to the border or flying?

We drove this road many times as we lived in San Isidro
It is a beautiful drive...normally takes at least an hour to drive from San Isidro to Domincal. HOW LONG does it take you to make the whole drive?
@@OffTheGridHomesteadCostaRica yes about an hour even more if you have a truck on front of you 😅
