Puerto viejo wines5/28/2023 ![]() We got the place for around $700CAD a month, which includes one bedroom, one bathroom with hot water, a kitchen and a small living space. After doing some rafting in Arenal and having so much fun doing it, we definitely can’t miss that! Rent That’s actually what we plan to do on the way back to San José.
