Visit Jaco - 5 Things You Will Love & Hate about Jaco, Costa Rica
Jaco, Costa Rica is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Costa Rica for good reason. There are amazing beaches, plenty of activities, friendly Ticos (people from Costa Rica) and a good tourist infrastructure, however there are some drawbacks to this great place, one being the tourist nature of the town which takes away some of the Tico-ness of the city, the riptides that can be dangerous and the resort centric feel of certain parts of town.

—These hosts were so kind, they have the best suggestions on what there is to do during your stay and made such delicious breakfasts. Surf & Massage combo for $50!
—We flew United Airlines and our bag was left behind at our first layover. It arrived at our AirBnb over 24hrs later, missing multiple personal items. Then our last flight to St. Louis was delayed 5 hrs and was even cancelled at one point while on the runway. DO NOT FLY UNITED!!!
—El Miro was intended to be a hotel, but the owner ran out of funds and ended up passing, however the site remains open to the public and artists are free to paint their pieces respectfully
and it's a phenomenal training spot. The hike is nice and there's tours that go up with horses and ATVs. El Miro had a breathtaking view from the top, which happens to be the

Things To Do In Jaco Beach | Abandoned Ruins In Costa Rica
This free and fairly easy hike in Jaco is a must if you want to see a beautiful view of Jaco beach. You can do this trail by foot, or motorcycle. The trail starts directly opposite a gas station and has a slight incline at the beginning. You have a chance to see many different species of animals and birds while on this hike. As you get higher a old ruin covered in graffiti will appear and is a great place to explore and take in the amazing views of Jaco.

Playa Hermosa Sunset, Jaco - Costa Rica 2015
I filmed this sunset from Surf Inn Hermosa's beach at Playa Hermosa, near Jaco in Costa Rica on March 24th.
This place is beautiful, located on the Central Pacific area of Costa Rica. The strange, whistle like noise you can hear in the background is coming from the insects called Cicada. They are very common in Costa Rica and they make this sound regularly.
Playa Hermosa is a beautiful and relaxing place, great waves for surfing and some nice restaurants to eat and drink at.
The video was filmed with a SONY DSC - HX20V in Full HD. This video is unedited, uploaded as it was filmed. Enjoy! :)

I get pulled over in a radar trap in Costa Rica, and the cop let me go with a warning. He's studying at a university, and one of his courses in English. Very nice dude.

Costa Rica Sunset | Typical Sunday Afternoon Vibe on Jaco Beach
In this video you see the ambiance on Jaco Beach Costa Rica. Always nice to see the pacific sunset in the late afternoon.
Check out our blog at:
The sun sets at around 5:30pm. Getting dark early in Costa Rica. But then again, the day starts early with the sun starting to come out at 05:00am. So life starts early in Costa Rica. Seize the day. Carpedium.
With a sunset there is always a lot of people on the beach. Cameras are out and the atmosphere is both chilling and romantic. Pacific sunset are awesome.

Ride Day 34 Jaco Costa Rica to David Panama
Full Post: Just the two nights in Jaco, Costa Rica, saw me swiftly on my way to David, Panama to get to Panama City on the 18th. A riding day that started out just fine, that is, until I reached the Panama border and consistent torrential rain.
Traveling just under 200 miles (316 kilometers) a trip which took me all up - over eight hours. Ouch!
Even though I was early approaching the border at Paso Canoas, which is an international city shared between Puntarenas Province in Costa Rica and Chiriquí Province in the west of Panama.
I encountered only a bit of traffic, but there were many people at the border, due to many refugees from poor old Haiti at the border.
No helpers this time around, but painful waiting periods. However, I was getting a lot more comfortable now, and it was the first time I met a bug named Eric Bernath - an American Adventure Rider who takes amazing photography and is traveling the world (now in Africa), pretty inspiring!
The rain started as I approached and would not stop until midday the following day. Luckily it was warm, but my first real soaking and a welcome to Panama!
Getting to David, Panama was going to be a struggle in this weather, but the ride must go on!
The border crossing occurred in mid-November 2016 on a KTM 1290 Super Adventure Motorbike. I headed for the Peñas Blancas crossing and got there around 10 am.
Leaving Costa Rica
Make your way past all the traffic and drive up keeping to the left lane. You will see a big building to the left.
You will need to pay departure tax first. There is a $7 USD departure tax and you pay it at the Banco Credito building, which is easy to see. Pay and get a receipt!
Next, you go to the Salida window and fill out a small form (painful with wet hands) then give it the official with your passport to exit. Next to submit your Import Permit.
Go around to the left around to the Aduana office. It's pretty easy to see in a hallway.
Here at Aduana, you have to complete a form and wait in line. There was only one guy there and he kept disappearing This took 45 minutes, painful! Once the form is completed and stamped you are free to exit Costa Rica!
Once we left we had to show paperwork to border guy and continue on.
Total Time was 60 minutes and $7 USD Departure Tax
Entering Panama
As you approach the Panama side you will see a big building to left, park under cover inside right along the long concrete steps.
Eric and I did this together and we had some guy following us around 'helping us. We ended up ditching him when another adventure rider named Onur chatted to us and the 'helper' told Onur to go away because he was with us, hilarious! So he was gone.
Go to the end of the building first. You will need to get a ticket for $1 USD first to give to immigration with your passport. Get ticket then join line (there were different lines for people with vehicles and normal entrants.
Get passport stamped in and the head directly across the road to get your insurance. It costs $15 for insurance and you need copies of all your documents. You will get two copies of insurance.
You then have to go back to original building around the back and get your Aduana. They will provide you with a copy of your documents, take them with you (you need to show them a little further down the road.
Then you go to fumigation (you cannot miss it and will be stopped), which costs $1 USD, We also got our bike checked here as well with paperwork.
Total time was 1.5 hours on Panama side and $1 USD for Ticket. $15 for Insurance $1 USD for Fumigation
Now to get to David, Panama!
David, Panama
San José de David, or David, is the capital of Chiriquí Province, in western Panama. In leafy Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra Park, vendors sell ice cream and crafts. Barrio Bolívar is dotted with colonial buildings. The José de Obaldía Museum of History and Culture displays archaeological artifacts. In the southwest is the mangrove-rich Playa Barqueta Wildlife Refuge, where beaches are nesting grounds for sea turtles. From Wikipedia
Bambu Hostel, David, Panama
Basic, but cutesy Hostel, with great budget restaurant across the street. The Bambu Hostel in David, Panama has a swimming pool is small, and it has a cool bar out back, and a fun dining area! Basic drinks available, beer, cola etc.
Private rooms are very basic and are dated, showers very average (and crazy wires on shower head) and Wi-Fi below average!
The beds were just ok. Was able to park my moto inside!
The manager was a pretty cool dude and everyone was nice! Hard to really judge as it poured with rain all night. But a decent hostel nonetheless, just need better WiFI!
