The National Museum of Costa Rica is a great place to stop first. You’ll be able to learn a lot about the history of this great country as well learn the origin of some of the art you see elsewhere. This is a hotspot for tourists. Although pretty dangerous due to its location many people stop here on their way to see theA alligators 🐊 all shapes and sizes these creatures are simply amazing!!This place alones contains so much history. Here they not only sell things the community makes but they also create and paint the wagons used to carry café like in the image. They paint these by hand and you can clearly see the time committed to making this great. This is one of the only two all metal buildings in Costa Rica. Another being a school, this building was made in Europe and sent over to be placed in this small town in Costa Rica. Obviously it is very beautiful on the inside also. Hands down the most beautiful park in Monte Verde. The beautiful plants and fountains placed in front of a church on a hill creates an environment of peace and harmony. Of course you have to visit a waterfall. This one specifically is a hotspot for tourists. The 500 steps down prepare you for an amazing experience of swimming with fish in a natural pool also known as a waterfall. Enjoy it while you can because the 500 steps up will definitely take the rest of your energy. c tour for sure is an absolute must. You get to see every single step of how the coffee you know and love is made, as well as chocolate and sugarcane. While you’re at it stop by bar amigos after a long day to relax and get your dance on. Disclaimer: please know what you’re doing if you get out there. No one likes a person that can’t dance. One of the worlds largest butterfly sanctuaries. Here you get to see every step of the life of a butterfly and also it’s secrets. It’s almost obvious that you have to stop by la casa de su familia Tica. These families have opened their homes for a student like myself to study and be immersed. They are awesome!!de you are cheating yourself. Enough said. Figured this was a pretty decent way to end my blog. This trip was truly amazing, eye opening, and also a great learning experience and I’m simply blessed to have been able to be a part.
