3rd Day: Way to Tortuguero or How to get lost with GPS

Fist day in the morning we went to Canopy tour. What is canopy? Check the pics! :D Adrenaline and adventure in the heart of a beautiful nature haha


Finally we left Fornuna to Tortuguero. Long way was expecting us, 200km and 4 hours drive...those roads! :D Anyway, we set up our GPS and were leading the main road. Next village on our map was Chiles, so on the cross road we saw Los chiles and went that way. Going further and further, GPS was telling me we are going somewhere to the north, but I didn't trust Costarican GPS, of course!:D After 1 hour we started to worry, since the village was supposed to be much closer. We stoped near a gas station and asked again - Chiles? Yeah, Los Chiles, said a guy, you are going the right way. GPS was going mad and I saw a big water spot on the screen. Juli, i said, what is this? It is telling me we are going to some kind of a Pacifican golf or smth....? Mi amor, he said, this is Nicaragua lake, I am afraid hahahaha

What has actually happened? Very simple, in Costa Rica there are 2 places, Chiles and Los Chiles (on the border with Nicaragua). We turned back and next days discovered there are a lot of villages in Costa Rica with the same name :-DDDD

Anyway, afterwards we got lost again, went through the forest, mixed the way and finally didn't get to Tortuguero that night and slept in a small city on the way :-D
