    Coatis are very cute and friendly, didn't expect that. Sorry for the snakes you stepped on though 😅 Great hikes, guys, really enjoyed the whole thing. Maybe that bridge would have been to much for me, but great views.

    • @IfWeGoTo
      @IfWeGoTo  3 года назад +1

      They’re soooo cute! They’re related to raccoons so I didn’t expect it either! Lol.
      Luckily we only almost stepped on the snakes… might be missing a foot now if we actually stepped on them. 😂
      The bridges definitely are a challenge if you’re afraid of heights! Lol

    Haven't watched the whole vlog yet but just wanted to let you know (in case you didn't find out!) at about 1min 30 - the noise you thought was a toucan is actually a Montezuma oropendola! One of my favourite bird noises from my travels to Costa Rica too :)

      We didn’t do the crossing ourselves but we actually met someone there who’d been doing it back and forth a lot for their business, which makes me think it’s probably open!

    Great vlog! We were there just last year and didn’t see half of that. We found the wildlife pretty hard to spot as well, but when you do see the coati, ant eaters, and the sloths, it is magical! Is it just me or did the entry prices to the parks seem expensive? Hopefully the fees get reinvested into the nature! Also, the monkey bar crossing looked fun haha!

    • @IfWeGoTo
      @IfWeGoTo  3 года назад

      How long did you get to do for??
      That was really our biggest gripe for Costa Rica, everything was for charge - even the nature, it was on the smaller end, and the prices definitely add up. It was expensive without a doubt. It does aid in the restoration and upkeep of the forest though, without it may be ripped up and turn it into farm land.

    • @roryandsage
      @roryandsage 3 года назад

      We went for a week during Thanksgiving break last year. This was before we were traveling full time, and we spent a lot of time at the resort 😂 We really liked seeing the crocodiles on the Tarcoles River bridge. And the iguanas everywhere was fun too!! We spent one day in Sanjose (because I was curious), and to say the least, it made me very grateful for what I had in the U.S.
