Did you think Costa Rica could be this cheap?
It's not don't trust thim I got one case of 24 bottle of water for $14 in regular grocery store
I haven’t been to Costa Rica in a while, but I always loved their food.
The food here is great. Whole food...fresh...local and so healthy
Well done! We needed a video with these tips!! TY!
You're very welcome! More videos like this coming your way
I'm from Colombia and here pejibaye is called chontaduro, but I didn´t knew you could make a soup with them
Is chongadueo something you eat regularly there? Yes you can make yummy hummus too!
You guys are awesome!! Thank you!! ❤
You're very welcome! Planning a trip to Costa Rica?
Awesome video! Makes me miss Costa Rica! 😍
Glad you enjoyed it! Where are you located?
@@hopscotchtheglobe Los Angeles
Such great video kristen and siya,love it
Glad you enjoyed it! When you coming to CR?
@@hopscotchtheglobe ha..ha..im really want,if u invite me,so when you coming/visit to Indonesia?
Wow what great prices! Kinda reminded me of the old rachel ray show 40 dollars a day. Were those coconuts you drank from cold or like room temperature? One time I bought some coconut shampoo.....then I realized I didn't even have any coconuts!
We want to do more videos like this. To really show how attainable travel is for people. You can do a lot without spending so much
Pejibayes are awesome, it's curious that this palm fruit is not commonly consumed by people in other countries of the region.
You can actually make delicious hummus-like dips with it. It's true that us ticos usually eat it with mayo. They taste good with honey too... but that's for the more adventurous.
Have you guys visited the old gold mines in the area? That's a gorgeous hike with A LOT of local history that you might enjoy!!
I've made the hummus many times and everyone always loves it! I haven't tried it with honey yet. I'll have to give it a go. We have visited some of the gold mines but didn't get a great chance to explore much because it was during rainy season and it POURED! So we have to leave before it got dangerous. I definitely want to explore more. Where would you suggest?
@@hopscotchtheglobe next time you can go to Limon, if you haven't yet, and try rice and beans with Caribbean chicken, you will love it
New sub here! Love the video!
Welcome! So nice to have you here. Where are you two from? Looking forward to connecting 🙂
Tuanisss!
Pura Vida!
Very beautiful 🌺😉
It's so incredibly beautiful here
Would you have a fire pit/bbq area for your house now you’ve seen the way locals cook the empanadas?
Did you cook the soup or did you just let it cook from friction in the blender??
I cooked the onions, garlic, celery, pepper and veggie stalk on the oven. The pejibaye already come cooked from the market so I just added those in the blender with everything else. You totally could cook it all in the blender though. Next time I'll try that way.
Costa Rica is more expensive than many countries in Europe. Been there 3 times and prices are crazy $9 USD for a galón of gas is crazy
It can be expensive and it can be affordable. You just need to know the local secrets :) that's why we are sharing videos like this so you know how to do Costa Rica on a budget.
Sorta sad you didn't go with the other thumbnail option, but good video nonetheless
hahahahaha I love that Siya sent that to you.
Where did you rent a car from? How was it
👍🏼
Did you include the price of the car you were using?
Not in the $20 budget. But, you can rent a car here for $40-$60 a day.
Pejibayes taste great with hummus Most Ticos eat them with mayo but I do not like mayonnaise
I'm not a fan of the mayo either. I love eating them just plain or as hummas it's sooo good. - Kristen
Hi
Whaddup?!
What??You guys did all that with 20 bucks?.I´m Costarrican from Central Valley and have to pay twice for all of that hahaha....I just subscribed by the way, very funny video, cheers!
Yes! Haha where exactly are you from in the Central Valley? I hope you're not paying twice for all of that! Also, welcome to the community :) It's nice to have you here. Pura Vida!
@@hopscotchtheglobe hi! I'm from Heredia...trust me we pay a lot here....I can see rural areas are way cheaper
Francisco if you go to la feria del agricultor and a soda to eat you can find those prices
I was there it was expensive
You mentioned getting a car rental for $40 per day? If you could share a contact or details on that, I would be forever grateful. I've been a couple of times before to visit CR and it sucks paying hundreds per day on a car!
Thanks
I for sure can. Message me on Instagram and I'll give you all the details: @hopscotchtheglobe
Can you enter CR with a pocket knife?
Costs rica is the most expensive country in North America i was there in too many cities they rob you
It really depends where you go and who you are dealing with. This video is an area that's so beautiful but isn't visited very often by travelers. Which are the places I love most personally. Yes, you can find very affordable food, transportation, accomodations and activities here (I've been living here for 2 years and visiting for years before that multiple times).
lol what are you on about? You can't even hire a car for $20 pp let alone gas. Even if you hire a car, depreciation is quite a lot. And then you've also ignored, rent/mortgage, bills, taxes, etc.
At the end of the video you say you can rent a car for $40/day. Where?! That's simply not remotely true.
It is my friend. We have several contacts that offer that rate for car rentals. It's not through a typical car rental service though. It's private. People renting out their own cars.
Great! How do normal people access this?
By asking around when you get here. I'm also a normal person who found a car rental during the first couple days this way :)
