QuickPeek: Hiking. Volcano views. Good Food.
Banos was a touristy place, a Very touristy place indeed. It was obvious with the number of ‘adventure’ sport tour companies all around town that there was a bit of a trap. Our hostel owner showed us a map with… Continue Reading →

QuickPeek: Flat road. River crossings. Overcast day. Hospitality.
A shower and a place to dry my stuff was paradise! It was expensive by my budget, but staying at Mike’s hostel was well worthy it. I slept real well and woke up refreshed. It rained all night and I… Continue Reading →

QuickPeek: Road walk. Bus ride. Trail walk. Jungle camping.
I got up early at the rodeo, since there was a lot of construction going on and the work started when the sun was up. It was drizzling a bit when I got up, so I decided to wait the… Continue Reading →
QuickPeek: Rain. beautiful walk. Craziness of tourism. Great local hospitality.

QuickPeek: Hobbling. Blisters. Awesome campsite.
