Ja-Ja-Ja Jaco was what we were chanting on the drive to the beach (possibly why we missed the exit and went about 1/2 hour out of the way). Regardless, it was a beautiful drive and so nice to finally get to the beach here in CR. I am def. super excited to be heading to Santa Teresa in Feb. and live the beach life for a bit. It took about 2 1/2 hours to get there, and 2 hours to get back so it was a bit of a trek. It was supposed to take about 1 1/2 hours but we got lost on the way there and then stuck behind some trucks on the way home. I think we realized that whenever they tell you how long it takes to get somewhere by car, we just need to tack an extra hour on for some reason. We spent more time in the car than we did at the beach but we’ll def. be going back now that we know the route and will leave earlier so we can stay longer. We ended up walking down to the beach and then browsing a few shops and eating some chinese food (which was a nice break from rice and beans). Will wasn’t too impressed with Jaco. He thought it was a bit dirty and had a grimey vibe. I loved the shops and maybe was just super excited to get to the beach. Santa Teresa def. kicks Jaco’s butt in our opinion but I think i still liked Ja-Ja-Ja Jaco better than Will for sure. It is more developed than Santa T and has chain hotels and tall condo buildings. It seems to be a big party town and was def. mega touristy. All in all we had a great day and will be going back again. We didnt take that many pics since we weren’t there very long but below is a slideshow of a few snaps from the day 🙂
