Rion Explores: A Grand Tour of Costa Rica in a Week (pt.2)
Welcome back to Rion Explores! In this second edition, I’m continuing my depiction of my first week in Costa Rica, exploring it from southern to northern tip on its western half. In the previous issue (published on September 16th, 2024), I shared my adventures with my partner in Atenas, Jacó, Uvita, Nicoya and Cabuya. This issue shares the second half of our week as we explored Guanacaste Province’s most famous and hidden spots, Playa Portero, Liberia, Rincón de la Vieja, Nuevo Arenal, and La Fortuna.

This first edition of Rion Explores is a two-parter, sharing my fast-paced journey scaling from south to north tip of Costa Rica’s West half in 6 days. On average, each day my partner (the driver) and I (the passenger) drove for five to six hours on everything from major and toll highways, to dirt and gravel roads, as well as through a small but aggressively-flowing river.
