This video is definitely a visual feast! My obsession with water led me to Costa Rica's legendary Rio Celeste. And guess what? Swimming in it was absolutely like a dream. Plus, I've gotta tell you about my special accommodation – it really made the whole trip a one-of-a-kind experience! Come along for the ride and see all the amazing sights.
So I stopped for a little break, I'm doing some shortcuts here.
But you know what? I've changed my mind. I'm not going to go up the coast.
I just don't feel like it. I think I've seen enough of the Pacific Ocean. So, so long Pacific
Ocean. I'll see you later in Panama. And there's this one place that is in my mind forever. Since
I entered Costa Rica, I'm like, I just really, really want to see this place. So this place
is only 150 kilometers from here. And I can tell you this, we'll be able to swim at the end of the
day. I'm so excited now. Whoo, that's a cool shortcut. Oh, it's so hot. So the rain is gone.
And it's hot again. Let's go this way. And we're back to the main road. I've got my liner on.
I'm not doing pants. Because Chile is sort of like, it's just a drizzle.
My pants are quite okay, unless it's torrential rain. And it is what it is. Adios!
He gave me a free mango. That's so nice. In 300 meters, turn left. In 300 meters, we have
Okay, left. That's us. Here, Chile. And the river is in.
I guess this is the good thing. Okay, I think we're good. Chile, wait for me here. I'll be back.
And we're done. I'm still not sure I'm gonna cook today, but we'll see. We'll see what we can
create with what we have in the pannier too. Maybe a soup, maybe pasta salad, maybe veggies.
Ah, who knows. All right. Chile, let's go. We're only 10 kilometers away to our cabin. Perfecto.
Easy. What's today? What's today? Wednesday. Wednesday. Friday. Saturday. Same story. It's all same to me.
A bit cooler here, because we're on 500, so the temperature dropped down to 25, but it's humid as
hell. This is us. Puri. Puri? Your destination is on the left. That's okay. Puri, that's us.
Look at them. Oh my god. They all must be related. You are, you are very, very scary.
Right. This place is awesome. Let me show you.
My cabin. I've never been... well, yeah, you have to see this.
I don't think you're ready for this.
Okay, here we go. We're taking this road around. There's a lot of chihuahuas here. Hello.
Hola. This is... okay, you're not ready for this. Hold on. I need to park Chile. Chile, how about
I park you here? Come back. Come back. Like, next to these bikes, I reckon. This will be great.
That will do. Okay. Okay. Are you ready to see my cabin? Okay, here we go.
It's just a giant egg. It's supposed to represent a crocodile egg, I believe. And you know me,
I'm concrete. So I just found a perfect place. And this is my guard dog. He's my favorite. He's so
cute. Hello, honey. I bought some snacks. I think you're gonna like them. And this is how my giant
egg looks like inside. This is so cool, right? Actually, originally, here there was a bath,
but this is not operational, right? I have a little fridge. I have all of that. This is my
massive bed. I guess behind we have a shower. Oh my god, I'm gonna walk through the shower now.
And here, this is just, this is just, this is just decoration. Uh, so yeah, those timber and
ceramic tiles, I guess you can call them, are decorating the wall. But they are only that
thick. I already inspected it. See? So that's just the decorations, not structural. Because all of
that is concrete. I love it. What a great experience. 50 bucks. That's it. That's how
much it costs to sleep in an egg. It's quite loud here. Can you hear the sound of the jungle?
So let me tell you something about this region. Because of course,
I came here with a name to swim in the thermal pools. Because I thought that's what's gonna
happen. Of course, it's not gonna happen. Because here we go. This is how it is.
Over there, it's a national park. You can't see it, but there is a volcano that is in the clouds.
Right there. Thermals are there, but now they are not accessible. And even if they are, you're not
allowed to swim in them. But right here, there is a river. And that's a famous river. Because
on the pictures, it looks like it's got this milky blue color. And this is what I want to experience.
I just want to go for a swim. It won't be a warm swim. It's gonna be a cold river, I think.
Really, I'm going for a swim. Wait for me here. Okay, so we're supposed to take this path.
Oh, flowers. Pretty. All right, we're going down. What is this?
This looks like sculptures and tables. I don't know. There's a lot of random things
on this property, I must say. Whoa, this is getting more interesting. Look at the river.
This is where I belong. Look at the color. Yes, I'm in heaven. Oh, this river is calling me right now.
What do you reckon? Is it cold? Or is it warm? Okay, let's test it.
It's cold. Okay, here we go. And just before the sun goes down, we can see the volcano.
This is it. This is the volcano. I settled in. And it's ready. This is my pasta masterpiece. So,
pasta, veggies, loads of them, plus soy protein and parsley. I tell you, it's amazing.
Wow, gee, it's very cloudy in the morning. Look at that. You can't see
the volcano. You can't really see much at all.
