This video was taken on the afternoon of Friday, March 11th, 2022 and shows Jaco's busier downtown areas on avenida Pastor Diaz, Jaco's main street. It is our first guided, narrated walking tour and we hope you enjoy it.
We start by walking south along the east side of avenida Pastor Diaz, Jaco's main street, at calle Bohio. We continue through Jaco's main intersection (calle Lapa Verde and avenida
Pastor Diaz) until we reach the Jaco Walk Shopping Complex. We take a quick walk through the open air restaurant area before crossing busy traffic on avenida Pastor Diaz and proceeding north. We continue north on Avenida Pastor Diaz passing through most of that street's commercially busy areas before turning on calle Anita and heading to the beach.
Please let us know in the comments below if you like this kind of content or if you have local Jaco business and want to be featured in our videos.
Pura Vida.

What part of Jaco do you want to see next ?
Pura vida
Would you recommend visiting Jaco in mid September? Would there be any risk of flooding or Hurricane?
I visited Costa Rica twice walked a lot with my phone taking pictures with family never got to any problems ever... I love Costa Rica and the people too... Thanks for sharing this awesome video...Pura Vida.. By the way I'm moving to Costa Rica and going to look at Jaco this time.
Thanks for your comment! Pura vida! 🙂
Jaco is such a beautiful simple place, thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching ! Pura vida
the pan flute man!! he's been there FOREVER!! I see him every time I visit. The first time we met him was when we first visited jaco back in 1999!
I really like the commentary and appreciate not editing of crossing streets. It helps to give a realistic idea of where you can get by foot, and how long it would take. Great video. Thanks for the insights!
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
That city is very clean!
You can meet people from all over the World in Jaco. I met a guy from Holland, Germany, France and many others from Canada and the United States. It's a fascinating place to visit or live.
I could not agree more ! Pura vida ✌️
Thanks so much for this great Jaco walking tour . I`ve been to Jaco many times and love it. Has the Fruity Monkey Poop gift shop closed ?
Thanks for sharing. I m going to Costa Rica in November as a solo traveler ( Birthday present to myself :) ). I will stay some days in Jaco. It s good to be prepared. :) I will be for the first time in Latin America.
Thanks for watching and for your comment. I hope you enjoy your trip. Pura vida ✌️
@RamtaYogi hope you enjoy your visit!! Pura vida ✌️
My cousin and I landed at Oduber aiport and friends drove us to Tamarindo and playa Flamingo. From there we went to Puntarenas and the capital, and the daughter drove us to the Caribbean side, Port Limon, Cahuita, Puerto Viejo and Manzanillo. One beach in particular was Playa Arrecife which was really really beautiful, although the Pacific side is more built up.
Safe travels.... going in Jan
Nice video, beautiful walking, thanks for sharing 👌
Thank you for watching and for your positive feedback ! Pura Vida ! :)
In the city center street noises overwhelmed your commentary at times.
Thank you for posting this video!
Thanks for watching and for your feedback. I'm working on improving the audio for future episodes. Pura vida !
AMAZING video. I thoroughly enjoyed the narration. BRavo!
Thank you!! It's my first attempt at a narrated video :) Thanks for watching !
Wow!
Nice video thanks my friend .👍
I love Jaco it has always been safe for me.
Is Big Dan still at the Sunrise Cafe? I used to manage the Bird of Paradise Hotel, back when it was just the Paradise. I used to have a coffee with Dan in the morning and hear all the gossip of the town.
Hey,..silly question but what’s jaco like for its fruits and veg is there many places to buy from ?
Sunrise Breakfast that your going to pass soon is my favourite breakfast place .
Love the banana pancakes there :)
Really nice! I was in Tamarindo in July and then we crossed over to the capital and then the Caribbean. I took notice of how clean Tamarindo is, something that the resident's must be proud off. I did take a lot of video with my Gopro 10. Did you use the Volta grip?
Thanks for watching and commenting! To be honest I'm not sure what kind of grip we have but I don't think it is the one you mentioned. It's so old the name has faded off but it does the job.
Great walk tour👍
Pura vida! Thank you !!! ✌️
Hi thanks for another great Jaco video. There use to be a bar and restaurant named Senior Harry`s is this now Morales ?
Thanks for your comments ! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Senor Harry's closed during the pandemic and a new restaurant called Morales Street has opened in that location. I pass by at 13:40 on the video :)
I'm planning to visit Costa Rica next year for the first time, but I'm debating whether I should visit Jaco or San Jose.🤔
Ofc San José!!
@@sketchman086 Both they offer completly diffrent!!
I once saw a tourist approach a regular drug dealer in Johannes Dankers park. I could see it but I couldn't hear the conversation. The tourist was angrily complaining about something. The drug dealer was a big guy and he had a baseball bat in his hand. The tourist was a small guy but he was so angry the he took his belt off and started whipping the drug dealer who had a baseball bat in his hand. I saw the ambulance take the tourist away and I never heard whether he lived or died..
Which is the best time to visit jaco?
What were the lockdown restrictions there and for how long did they last please?
Just one thing to highlight something if I may. In Spanish when you see an special character like the one on the word "Jacó" the accent should go at the end. Americans pronounce ir Jáco and it should be pronounced jacó. The accent goes at the second vowel. Cheers and enjoy the country 😀.
yes we know, we speak español! PV
@@JacoLive pv!
Fabian, that's an unecessary comment and comes off Nationalist. Everyone will pronounce things differently depending on the language they are speaking and their native language. I'm quite sure you don't pronounce cappuccino like an Italian would, right? This guy speaks 3 languages, so maybe check yourself before you criticize someone's accent.
@@jacojacobeno6248 Hello Jacobeño. I do actually. Not only cappuccino all Italian cuisine dished. Now, why should I check myself? Just to double check?
@@jacojacobeno6248 and not sure of you need some sort of reading comprehension. My comment was more focused In the improvement. Read it again. I am certainly not trying to make fun of accents. I actually love accents.
Hi! Is it safe to eat raw the fruits and vegetables from that Walmart you showed?
It's a grocery store but if you are worried about pesticides/food safety there is an organic food vendor at the weekly market every Thursday
@@JacoLive Thank you! How about bacteria, like in Mexico? Can tourists eat the vegetables raw, or will it get them sick?
Never heard of any issues
@@JacoLive Thank you!
Costa Pobre es lo mejor de lo mejor papu!
Por eso salimos caminando en caravana A brincar muros y cruzar Ríos Con cremita de Rosa Sele quita la chimason
Llore
Be there in 3 weeks 👍
That's a great time of year here! Hope you have a great trip. Pura vida
I prefer no commentary
Thanks for your feedback! I think for the next while I will be releasing a mix of walking videos where some have no commentary and some are narrated. I definitely understand how some people prefer one or the other. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Me gusta oir la moto. Me encanto eschuchar el ruido de Los automovils. Pero no hay nada como un buen moto.
@@gabrielmartino644 Me gustan los sonidos de las calles y hago lo mejor que puedo para dejarlos en los videos como si fuera en vivo. Pura vida :)
Hi , just wondering how the crime is in Jaco?
There use to be another restaurant named Killer Munchies I guess that`s long gone another one La Brurha seems long gone ?
I'm not so sure about these two locations. I read somewhere that Rioasis used to be Killer Munchies but I don't remember that far back. The other one you mentioned, I think I know which place you mean, and that one has been closed for a while (bar next to Edificio Cristal, across the street from the then Beattle bar, now Rolling Thunder)
On the video I pass by Rioasis current location at 23:22.
@@JacoLive The place Senior Harry`s is the other side of the bridge a bit father than The Fruity Monkey store on the same side of the street but a bit farther . It`s right on a corner .
@@lindsayrollin4291 Señor Harry's is now Morales Street restaurant.
@@JacoLive Thanks that`s what I thought. Have you eaten at Morales ?
I stay o bohio
People in the comments complain about anything hahahahha guess is better if you stay home and don't go out anymore
Hahaha thanks for your comment 👍 Pura vida ✌️
Go down closer to the Best Western.
I'll add it to the list for one of the upcoming videos. Pura vida ✌️
pronouce JacO with and ending enphasis. 😆😁😂
Thanks for commenting! I tend to pronounce Spanish words differently depending on whether I'm speaking English or Spanish (and depending on who I'm speaking to). In Spanish I'll use the accented 'o' but not always in English to an English audience. Kinda the same when saying 'San Jose' to another English speaking person versus to a local. Even for words without accents i.e. 'San Francisco' it usually seems more natural to pronounce it differently based on what language is being spoken if you get what I'm saying. It goes both ways... In a conversation in Spanish I would typically pronounce English words/cities with a more Spanish intonation as well.
Hope you enjoyed the episode
*LOOOOOOOOOOOKS SSSSSSSSO BORING*
It's pronounced "hack-OH". cmon now dude. if you're gonna visit a country, at least learn how to pronounce stutff.
Lived here numerous years and I tend to alternate between the more English pronunciation when speaking English and Spanish pronunciation when speaking Spanish. This is pretty common locally. Actually the only people who have mentioned this stuff have been people who aren't from the area... just saying 😂. I also pronounce Los Angeles "Los an- je- less" when speaking English and "Los an-he-lez" when speaking Spanish if you get what I'm saying. Thanks for flexing tho 😘. Pura vida ✌️
