Costa Rica is a beautiful country. Rather than going to its many tourist traps, I decided to hike to the beautiful summit of Chirripo, which is the highest mountain in Costa Rica.

I went ahead and posted my travelogue on my short time in Costa Rica here. A more detailed travelogue on my hike up the Peak of Chirripo is on my Chirripo page, enjoy!
