We appreciate that! I get people go away for a week and want a nice spot and for us to show them more luxury but at this time we can’t do that! Here at least!
When I lived in Boquete, Panama I had to leave every three months for seventy-two hours to renew my tourist visa so I always went to Costa Rica, one time to Puerto Viejo. My girlfriend at the time and I loved it so much we stayed for a week. We had so many fun experiences like a tour of making chocolate, the sloth museum, and a great hike up to an amazing waterfall. Good times.
In tears about your loving tribute to your sister! I like to travel with a mini-urn of my mom's ashes to spread in beautiful places. Sorry for your loss. My husband and I are hunkered down in our hotel room in Playa Negra (just north of Puerto Viejo) because the rain has been non-stop today. Thank you for sharing your trips through the parks...made my hubby feel better about losing an adventure day due to rain. We came from Bastimentos Island in Panama yesterday (a spot we picked based on another video or yours). Thank you for what you do and have fun on your future travels!!
What a beautiful and heartfelt message-thank you so much for sharing this with me. Traveling with your mom's ashes and spreading them in beautiful places is such a touching way to keep her spirit with you on your adventures. It’s deeply meaningful, and I’m truly honored to hear that my tribute to my sister resonated with you. I’m sorry the rain has you stuck indoors today, but I’m so glad my videos could bring a bit of adventure to you and your husband despite the weather. Playa Negra and Bastimentos Island-wow, you’ve picked some incredible places to explore! I love that you visited Bastimentos because of one of my videos-that really means a lot to me. Rainy days can sometimes bring their own kind of magic, so here’s hoping it clears up soon so you can enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Wishing you and your husband safe and memorable travels ahead, and thank you again for your kind words. It’s messages like this that remind me why I do what I do. ❤️✨
Beautiful video as always... Especially appreciate the Tribute for your sister, Heidi. I feel like I know her just a little more after you talking about her taking her honeymoon there. I lost my youngest sister in 2018 and more recently lost my older sister due to a car accident... It's so difficult to find peace without them but the good memories of times together always help... My younger sister and I loved going to the beach together and shopping in all the little curio places ... My other sister and I traveled together to places like Hawaii and parts of the US exploring historical places... Again thank you for sharing your sister's memory with all of us, it's good to reflect on family members. Looking forward to Panama!!
Oh my gosh. I am so saddened to hear of the incredible amount of loss you have gone through, and continue to voyage through. Grief is hard, in so many ways. Ups and downs. It’s not linear. Some days we are good and others we are not. I thank you for sharing this with me. I find talking about them makes it easier. I know they are always with us.
@@TheCountryCollectors Exactly right! As you shared your loss it helps me to think more fondly of my own loss and memories. Your sensitivity keeps me coming back
What a lovely way to end your time in Costa Rica.. thank you so much for showing us so many amazing places to see and do .. we love how you show us affordable ways to travel .. fantastic tips .. video was beautifully done guys good job.❤
This was my favorite spot you have showed us in Costa Rica. I am looking forward to seeing Panama 🇵🇦 with you guys! Until next Sunday - have a good one.
Best travel guide … you guys are amazing, thank you so much for showing us around this beautiful part of Costa Rica.. so many great ideas and places to see.
You guys are awesome! Your videos are so informative ,inspiring, honest and refreshing. The world needs people like you two. Safe travels and thank you!
We were there in June last year and absolutely loved it. One of our favourite places in Costa Rica - we were in the country for 10 weeks and saw a lot, so gives you some idea of how good that place was. Loved the laidback vibe. We will be going back there!
Good tip to have one person look up and one down so you don't miss anything. I hate to miss anything when I'm out and about in a new place. Fun video, guys!
Thanks for joining us! Hope you have a great day! And I agree. Whenever we are on safari we’re like imagine how much we walked past and didn’t see. It would be fun if when you finished there was like a map that showed you all the animals you saw and missed!
Believe it or not I'm costa rican and this is the second time I use one of your videos to travel my own country lol Thank you so much! these are amazing - xo, pura vida
As a solo female traveler, planning her trip to Puerto Viejo, this video just emboldened me and was so informative to have the buses, hostels, costs of rides and donation expectations! Thanks a lot!
Another great video! I was thinking how the heat/humidity would be difficult when you showed the room you stayed in with the fan. You two are real troopers! Thanks
Love Puerto Viejo! The journey there is long but so worth it. I wish the beach ocean was a little calmer but it is beautiful. Beautiful moment Heidi shared about her sister. Sorry for her loss
Happy Sunday Heidi and Adam - Enjoying my morning tea and watching you two is pure joy! I know nothing about CR before so thank you so much for the education. These last few videos you can really feel the culture and seeing the rich wildlife has been great and a little scary! (snacks and spiders YIKES) But I guess thats what you get in in the rain forest. Looking forward to Panama, another country I know little about. Travel safe see you next Sunday! Cheers from Lisa from Winnipeg :)
Hey guys, beautiful video. Your beloved sister is looking down with love Heidi, you gave her that piece of happiness that she will now always be a part of. Enjoy Panama, Thomas and Patricia from Toronto, Canada
My husband and I have lived in Cahuita & Punta Uva since 2017. When you stopped in Manzanillo to show your love for your sister and leave a peace (piece) of her, I lost it… This is a place of healing and I wish that for you and I hope you found it here in Costa Rica. Pura Vida…Namaste. When you return please visit Refugio Nacional de vida silvestre, Gandoca- Manzanillo. The is the most beautiful National Park in the area. Many blessings to you both.
My husband and I were in Costa Rica in Jan. Took a cruise there and docked at Limon. Was a beautifull place. Do want to go back. We like to get out into the country side and learn about the culture of the places we visit.
The Caribbean side of Costa Rica looks very nice! I haven’t been to that side yet only the Pacific side. Costa Rica is definitely super expensive, but very beautiful. I am just very amazed how I can eat a whole meal for less than $5 in the streets all over Mexico. It’s very difficult to get a $5 street meal in CR
I adore the outdoor area with the hammocks at the hostel where you stayed. how cool that the beach has a ship wreck. The cahuita national park looks amazing! good tip about one person looking up and one looking down. yikes!!!! That spider!! Beautiful, but glad you didn't run into it. LOL! Those little monkeys are cute, but they can be little theives too. LOL! Interesting that they are main preditors. I can't believe how friendly the raccoons are!!!!! and seeing the pit viper. You guys really found some amazing sights!
Wow, Puerto Viejo looks like an amazing destination with its Afro-Caribbean culture and beautiful beaches. Your video gave me a great glimpse into what to expect when visiting there. The Cahuita National Park and Jaguar Rescue Center both look like must-see attractions. Thanks for sharing your travel guide!
Yep! That trail is a great place to be! Another place I'd never heard of introduced to me by the Country Collectors. They should play these videos in schools...
I discovered this town a couple yrs ago online and sooo look fwd to going! It’s the top place on my list in CR. Just loove the climate, rainy like Vancouver canada, but warm + brimming with jungle 💜…and the Jamaican influence, cherry on top 👌 I have 3 kids so I’m sticking to budget places for now + waiting to go when they’ve left the nest bc it’s not exactly cheap there 😂
Oh such wonderful experiences ❤️ Thank you so kindly for sharing with us all ❤❤❤ So looking forward to your Panama videos. Take care, be safe and enjoy ❤❤
So jealous y'all went to Puerto Viejo. Had to scrap that when I was in CR. What a gorgeous place. The History kind of reminds me of what Playa and much of the Riviera is was before the roads and crowds. From what I've been told and see in this video, some of the best food is supposedly from Puerto Viejo in CR. Mainly due to the Jamaican spice. The playas look amazing. The amount of nature is something I'm all for. A Jaguar rescue center?! Somewhat similar to what they do at La Paz. Watch those massive spiders. There was one in San Jose I always had to go under when leaving the complex. She was a gnarly looking girl. Definitely love all the wildlife in this.
I used to live in puerto I lived their for 3 years and I was born in San Jose and my mom and dad used to own a bar there on the edge of town it is an amazing place at puerto now I come here every few years
I’m SO glad I kept watching after you left Mexico. I wasn’t sure at first, but now I’m LOVING your videos. I’m so sorry about your sister. My fiancé just lost her mom, so I know it can be rough. Are you planning on going to South America? Where to after Central America?
Hi! Thanks for sticking with us. I think we will go to Colombia and then switch things up a bit! Maybe Europe and then Asia? We don’t plan too much in advance though!
Absolutely beautiful Thank you for sharing so much love! I’m glad you visited this side of CR this to me is exactly what I would love to see and experience when I visit! I have been following this rescue center for years this would the sort of place I can only dream of to work for! I m so glad you showed up their work and all the good they do for the local wild life! No wonder your sister loved this place how can you not? Bless her you are such a brave little trooper Heidi such a beautiful person! I have been very curious about Panama as I know very little so I’m sure it will great I’m looking forward to hear what you have to say and learn new things 😊 Have fun Sabrina🇫🇷🇬🇧
Hi Sabrina! Good morning! Yes, we loved this spot! Such a beautiful place with great vibes. They are always asking for volunteers! They mentioned it a couple times on our little tour! Aww thank you. Yes we are excited to get to know it too! Thanks again for your support!
After many various Costa Rica trips, I finally settled for Puerto Viejo for a few nights on a recent trip. It's now officially my fave in Costa Rica. I preferred Playa Negra where our villa was located. Returning to CR in Feb.. but I leave Puerto Viejo for October trip when it's at it's optimal.
So excited for your adventures in Panama since I know nothing about the country! But how long do you guys plan in staying in each country you guys visit? I feel like time flew by when you guys were in Guatemala and Costa Rica!
😊 That makes us happy! We don’t plan much, just see how we feel and go from there. Like Mexico we planned 6 months and stayed 2 years lol! We were in each for a month.
Like #1🎉!!!... Good morning! @The Country Collectors... 🇲🇽❤🇺🇲❤🇨🇷❤🌎🌍🌏🤔🤩🥳💝💖😍👣👏👋🙄🧐🤗🤫🤐😬🥴🤭😳🤯😉 Hola amiguitos, cómo están? Yo aquí reaccionando a su viaje en Costa Rica😮😊! Saluditos cordiales nuevamente desde Zumpango Estado de México🎉😅😂...😊
@@TheCountryCollectors , no way! Thanks to you guys! For always take us to wonderful places to be! At least we're traveling with you this way!...🥴👣🤗🤯😉🤭
Oh wow! That’s so cool. What a spot! People have been asking if we felt any medicinal effects from the black sand but we weren’t on it long enough… did you? Like higher vibrations.
Those fungus growing out of the tree looks like steps to climb up; tempting to try but very sure it will not support much weight. Great walk thru Cahuita NP and you guys are spotting lots of animals, snakes and everything in between.
Wait Wait Wait! Uh, I think I just caught a mistake, THE first mistake TCC has made! Uh, where is the part where they get something to eat?! Did Adam NOT get hungry this whole entire time?! Someone mark this day down! Lol! JK. This was an absolutely wonderful video. And Heidi got me....AGAIN! I was smiling through this entire video UNTIL she got to that Congo Bongo sign. And I was like, Heidi! Tears all over the place. But so glad to see you honoring your sister like this. This is so special.
Aww 🥰 haha yes he was hungry but we brought some snacks for the day in our bag! Had a nice big meal afterwards. Honestly though the food in Costa Rica didn’t excite us so much. That’s why we were so pumped to taste the coconut rice and beans lol!! 😊 Thanks for your constant support!!
@@TheCountryCollectors Ahhh, you're right! How could I forget that you had something to eat at the beginning of the video?! My bad....my BAD! TCC still batting 100!
woohoo guys thank you for these videos of costa rica...❤️ they are simply beautiful and we congratulate you for taking us to such a beautiful country...unique in the world...congratulations for this series of videos in the switzerland of latin america.. ..much love... and Costa Rican food looks delicious.. USA NY. Pure life...🌴🌧️🌵🍀🍀💦🐐⛈️🌨️🙊🙊🙊🐎🐂🐑🦫🦜🦜🦐🦞👍☺️🐘🐐🐐🙉🦜🦜🦜⛈️⛈️🌠🌌🐘🌲🌳
dont feel bad about the expensive places, there full of people who just drink shop and lay by the pool, they are not interested in expanding there minds, living on a budget teaches you so much more about the country and the great people that you meet on the way.
Wow, it's so beautiful and you saw so many animals on your own! ❤ The place your sister had her honeymoon, I'm glad you were able to visit her. Definitely made me choke up. ❤ Excited to see Panama. As a child I had a book about Panama and loved it. 😊
The animal rescue is wonderful… so many beautiful animals, birds and SLOTHS…. Omg can I join the snuggle club lol they are doing such a wonderful thing se animals ❤❤❤
Great video, I visited Costa Rica, but not this side, and decided to move there, definitely want to visit and experience this side before making my decision
Please don’t move to Costa Rica. Gentrification is severely impacting our economy and environment. After hundreds of thousands of foreigners arrived and gentrified provinces like Guanacaste, they are now starting to gentrify other provinces. We Costa Ricans can no longer cope with this; we are losing everything. Those of us who used to live on the coasts had to leave our homes because rent and food prices rose so much that we could no longer afford them. Our salaries are around $800 USD per month; we can’t keep paying gentrification prices.
@ that’s unfortunate, and it’s happening all over the world, but I live here already, but I’m not the one setting the housing policies and etc, Maybe it’s time to address those who can actually make a change? And not some random person on the internet

@@EdgarLopez-uj9iw No plans to return anytime soon. We are exploring the world - but miss it everyday!
@@TheCountryCollectors Central America looks like Mexico . In fact the are trying to promote their countries using Mexico ideas
I cannot get over how beautiful the Caribbean side is
I know! It’s our favorite!
We love that you are showing us cheaper and more affordable places to stay.
We appreciate that! I get people go away for a week and want a nice spot and for us to show them more luxury but at this time we can’t do that! Here at least!
@@TheCountryCollectors not is it your responsibility to do so
try the north end like Tamarindo or south ;;Punta Renas

What a great place to spend a week! It’s very special. We’re so glad you have those memories Gary.
Costa Rica really does inspire me to get into nature more.
That’s wonderful! It’s such a powerful healer.
Same bro
Absolutely amazing how Costa Rica has been able to preserve its natural treasures so well.
I know, it’s wonderful!
Heidi you've made me cry 😢! You've got a great heart... Honoring you're sister... @The Country Collectors... RIP😢...
Aww 🥰 I am sure her soul loved knowing her body could rest there. A place with so many great memories!

That’s awesome!
I know you’re not apologizing for showing us affordable places to stay with this amazing content! Don’t apologize. You guys are awesome 👏🏼😎
You're the best!
Yes! Great content ,those racoons & monkey's were too cuuute! (More animals and voice overs plz 🐒 😁🦝)
That was so awesome about the Jamaican history of the region .. food looks amazing
Yes isn’t it so interesting!
The animal sanctuary is amazing .. they are doing so many great things for those animals ❤❤
I know! And our guide was fantastic! So full of energy and made it very interesting.

Thanks for always sharing the history and this very interesting info with us about the Jamaicans we had no idea.
It’s our pleasure! Puerto Viejo is a special place.
What a beautiful spot for your sister .. that was so special .. sending you big hugs
Wish we could have stayed just one night but the house she stayed in was booked up!
You guys are awesome! Your videos are so informative ,inspiring, honest and refreshing. The world needs people like you two. Safe travels and thank you!
Wow, thank you!
You are right this national park is so peaceful and so much animals and creatures and tons of beaches
We loved it there!
Aweeee Heidi... that's so beautiful what you did for your sister❤❤❤❤ ... very very touching
❤️❤️❤️
Wow!! I didn't know that bit of history of Jamaica
I know we didn’t either! After looking at a map I was shocked to see how close they were… relatively speaking!
❤❤❤❤ lovely! great video! can’t wait to get there 😊
Thank you!! 😊

My husband and I were in Costa Rica in Jan. Took a cruise there and docked at Limon. Was a beautifull place. Do want to go back. We like to get out into the country side and learn about the culture of the places we visit.
We are the same! That’s why we preferred the Caribbean coast. More culture.
The Caribbean side of Costa Rica looks very nice! I haven’t been to that side yet only the Pacific side. Costa Rica is definitely super expensive, but very beautiful.
I am just very amazed how I can eat a whole meal for less than $5 in the streets all over Mexico. It’s very difficult to get a $5 street meal in CR
We didn’t even see street food there!
Que bonitos sus videos ... La próxima semana voy para Puerto Viejo y me dieron muchas ideas de que hacer 😊

After many various Costa Rica trips, I finally settled for Puerto Viejo for a few nights on a recent trip. It's now officially my fave in Costa Rica. I preferred Playa Negra where our villa was located. Returning to CR in Feb.. but I leave Puerto Viejo for October trip when it's at it's optimal.

That was very touching Heidi I am glad your sister is able to rest there.
❤️
So excited for your adventures in Panama since I know nothing about the country! But how long do you guys plan in staying in each country you guys visit? I feel like time flew by when you guys were in Guatemala and Costa Rica!
😊 That makes us happy! We don’t plan much, just see how we feel and go from there. Like Mexico we planned 6 months and stayed 2 years lol! We were in each for a month.

@@TheCountryCollectors , no way! Thanks to you guys! For always take us to wonderful places to be! At least we're traveling with you this way!...🥴👣🤗🤯😉🤭
I love playa negra and PV in general. Thats the first place i ever adventured to in LATAM
Oh wow! That’s so cool. What a spot! People have been asking if we felt any medicinal effects from the black sand but we weren’t on it long enough… did you? Like higher vibrations.
Boom! Adam... those patties are yum yum Boom!
Haha 😂 yes they are! I won’t disclose how many I had while there haha
@@TheCountryCollectors hahahaha...food... if it is good you'll stop counting. It's what I do worth girl scout Samoa cookies
One of special things about Costa Rica is that for such a small country the destinations are all so different
🙏❤️😊
Great job you guys !
🙏❤️
Thank you for this video , i loves it
I'm glad you liked it thank you so much!
I love that place!
Me too!
Those fungus growing out of the tree looks like steps to climb up; tempting to try but very sure it will not support much weight. Great walk thru Cahuita NP and you guys are spotting lots of animals, snakes and everything in between.
Hi Mark! Yes they do! Steps for some insects perhaps. 😊 We were quite lucky this day!
PUERTO VIEJO, COSTA RICA mucho lindo bueno trabajo del country collectors
Gracias 🤩
Wait Wait Wait! Uh, I think I just caught a mistake, THE first mistake TCC has made! Uh, where is the part where they get something to eat?! Did Adam NOT get hungry this whole entire time?! Someone mark this day down! Lol! JK. This was an absolutely wonderful video. And Heidi got me....AGAIN! I was smiling through this entire video UNTIL she got to that Congo Bongo sign. And I was like, Heidi! Tears all over the place. But so glad to see you honoring your sister like this. This is so special.
Aww 🥰 haha yes he was hungry but we brought some snacks for the day in our bag! Had a nice big meal afterwards. Honestly though the food in Costa Rica didn’t excite us so much. That’s why we were so pumped to taste the coconut rice and beans lol!! 😊 Thanks for your constant support!!
@@TheCountryCollectors Ahhh, you're right! How could I forget that you had something to eat at the beginning of the video?! My bad....my BAD! TCC still batting 100!
Happy Sunday Funday TCCs!

Thanks again for joining us!
Nicely done ✅ 💯
Lots of activities packed into your stay, thx for sharing!!
Looking forward to Panama 🇵🇦 🤜🏽
Awesome! Excited to share it with you!
dont feel bad about the expensive places, there full of people who just drink shop and lay by the pool, they are not interested in expanding there minds, living on a budget teaches you so much more about the country and the great people that you meet on the way.
It’s very true! Thanks for sharing your perspective and thoughts.
With the reggae music floating in the background when you both walk it looks like you're bouncing to the rhythm
It certainly felt like that at some times!
Thank you guys ❤ you guys are so cute together lol & funny 😆 ❤❤❤
🙏❤️
Great shots in cahuita you guys!!
Thank you 🙌
Wow, it's so beautiful and you saw so many animals on your own! ❤ The place your sister had her honeymoon, I'm glad you were able to visit her. Definitely made me choke up. ❤ Excited to see Panama. As a child I had a book about Panama and loved it. 😊
Thank you so much for joining us! That’s awesome!

Great video, I visited Costa Rica, but not this side, and decided to move there, definitely want to visit and experience this side before making my decision
You should!
🙏
Please don’t move to Costa Rica. Gentrification is severely impacting our economy and environment. After hundreds of thousands of foreigners arrived and gentrified provinces like Guanacaste, they are now starting to gentrify other provinces. We Costa Ricans can no longer cope with this; we are losing everything. Those of us who used to live on the coasts had to leave our homes because rent and food prices rose so much that we could no longer afford them. Our salaries are around $800 USD per month; we can’t keep paying gentrification prices.
@ that’s unfortunate, and it’s happening all over the world, but I live here already,
but I’m not the one setting the housing policies and etc, Maybe it’s time to address those who can actually make a change? And not some random person on the internet
you guys are good vibes!!!
🙏❤️
