From our online-friends' personal blog... "MYTANFEET.COM"
Who are "MYTANFEET.COM" simply put, a young couple of Costa Rican and American descend living up life on the beach, "la Pura Vida", in Costa Rica.
I encourage you to visit their site by clicking on the link below and find out what exciting adventures they have been on and any new articles that they have written.
http://www.mytanfeet.com
I requested their permission and was granted to offer up their links and be able to share with you some of their detailed stories and informative articles about life in Playa del Coco and greater Costa Rica
Each time I set out to research an article to write for you, my honoured guest, it seemed that Samantha and Yeison had already written it. So instead of "re-writing the wheel", here are links that I feel will assist you in preparing for your trip to this magical land Columbus so fit to name... Costa Rica -the "rich coast."
Thank you Sammi and Yeison for allowing me to share your stories and adventures via your links.
Please find below a collection of link headlines that may assist you to better prepare for your trip to Costa Rica (and specifically to Playa del Coco)....

Best Beaches in Guanacaste
as with many of MyTanFeet writings, I do agree with most of their choices --Coco is definitely family friendly and Pencha (at Point Caciche) and Huevos along with Nacascolito are great snorkeling and day picnic beaches. Enjoy. and Mr. Di says"Never swim alone!"

I have to agree with our MyTanFeet the drive from Coco to Arenal was amazing, especially once you start to wrap around Lake Arenal...the views are breathtaking. A great 1/2 day trip while you are there is to visit the Venado caverns --still raw and what an experience. We stayed 3 days in Los Lagos Resort and once again, "what an experience!" All I can say is. "I can't wait to do it all over again...."

The wonder couple, MyTanFeet.com, has done it again with a wonderful video of a 5-8 day suggested itinerant. Of course you can alter it as you desire or extend it even to more exploration of this wonderful garden called Costa Rica.
