Pura Vida! I am so excited to finally post about my favorite place on earth: Costa Rica. A couple months ago, I came across a flight deal online and immediately purchased a ticket to come here. Little did I know that this spur-of-the-moment decision would change my life forever.
For my first full day in paradise, I decided to hike through the rainforest in an effort to see some monkeys. I stayed at Arenas Del Mar, which is completely immersed in the rainforest (yet still directly on the water – so awesome) so I walked the trail on the grounds. Since this was a fairly easy and mild hike, I decided to go ahead and dress up cute for it.
{ boyfriend windowpane flannel button down shirt // textured-stitch sweater // high-rise denim shorts // faux-leather ankle boots // sold out backpack // all items ℅ Old Navy }
It is pretty hot here–about 80-90 degrees–so I went with shorts, but I wore long sleeves so I could avoid bug bites and scratches from trees and plants. I brought my backpack and wore some pretty impractical hiking shoes, but they surprisingly worked pretty well on the trail! I ended up seeing two different types of monkeys, a sloth and a few iguanas. So cool!
Even though it was incredibly awesome, I think I’m done with the whole hiking part of Costa Rica for the moment. It’s time to hit the beach!
Have you ever been to Costa Rica?

I absolutely LOVE Costa Rica and I’m dying to go back some day. I cannot BELIEVE you hiked in those boots, though. Definitely worth the photo opp! 🙂

Haha, it was just a quick hike on the hotel grounds! We went to Manuel Antonio the next day so it was just a little preview. I definitely wore tennis shoes to Manuel Antonio 😉
