Vacation in Malpais, Costa Rica

Wednesday, June 6th, 2007

My wife, Lauren, and I just returned last week from our wonderful vacation in Malpais, Costa Rica. Even though it was the rainy season, we had a great time. We stayed at the Moana Lodge and met some really cool people. We made some great new friends with the owners, Aidan, a crazy, larger than life Irishman, and Vicky, his beautiful Costa Rican chica and soon-to-be wife.

We flew into the San Jose International airport, then took a small, puddle jumper flight to Tambor using Sansa airlines, and finally an hour taxi ride to Malpais. Since it is off the beaten path, it remains unspoiled by large commercialism and floods of tourists. The lodge was perfect, we had some great authentic food, we got to enjoy huge beaches with very limited tourist traffic, we rented a quad and rode through the mountains and jungle over to Montezuma, and we just got to hang out, relax, and have fun. I can highly recommend to everyone a trip to beautiful Malpais and a relaxing stay at the Moana Lodge. If you plan on visiting and have any questions or just want some tips, feel free to post a comment.

Enjoy the photo slidshow below; I hope to add some comments to them this weekend.
