I recently had the incredible opportunity to celebrate Thanksgiving in Costa Rica, embarking on a journey filled with breathtaking landscapes, thrilling adventures, and memorable experiences. Here’s a glimpse into my Costa Rican Thanksgiving adventure:

Thanksgiving Flight to Liberia

We kicked off our adventure with a Thanksgiving flight to Liberia, Costa Rica, on the west coast. Our destination: the beautiful town of Coco. Upon arrival, we indulged in a local food buffet at El Jardín, a central tourist hub, marking the beginning of our holiday getaway.

Arrival in Coco and Beachside Bliss

Arriving after sunset in Coco, we initially found ourselves slightly lost, but the sound of the ocean from our villa reassured us of our serene surroundings. The next morning greeted us with a spectacular view of the ocean, setting the stage for a day of exploration and relaxation.

A Day Full of Adventures

I’m excited to share an eventful weekend with all of you. From axe throwing practice to a nature documentary at a local brewery, here’s a look at my packed social schedule and a memorable visit to Vista Brewing with my girlfriend.

A Full Day of Fun

What a day! I started with watching the World Cup, followed by some axe throwing practice. In the afternoon, I enjoyed a park grill and chill session, and to top it all off, I ended the day at a brewery watching a nature documentary. It was a full and fulfilling day, packed with activities I love.

Vista Brewing and “Deep in the Heart”

We headed to Vista Brewing to watch “Deep in the Heart,” a Texas wildlife documentary narrated by the one and only Matthew McConaughey. The brewery itself is a gem, with a small working farm and apiary onsite, providing fresh ingredients for their kitchen and drinks.

Everyone getting settled in for the screening.
