Love hearing that it was a 10 out of 10 experience! 🎉 Thanks so much for sharing.
La Fortuna has it all, hot springs, volcano hikes, hanging bridges, and it's so great that you get to see monkeys every day there! 🐒 And that Tamarindo ending sounds incredible. Catching sailfish and then having Walter's turn the rest into ceviche and fish tacos? That's the dream last day right there.
So glad everything ran smoothly and hope to see you on another kimkim adventure! :)
