About Costa Rica Travel Podcast with Daniela Rojas
Costa Rica Travel Podcast is a show about moving through the country the way a resident would: settling in one place, learning it, then moving somewhere connected to it. Travel here means negotiating coastal plains, rugged mountains and more than one hundred volcanic cones, while the dry season shapes the rhythm of the year.
The show's range moves from the capital, San José, to the central highlands, with the historic city of Cartago and the Irazú volcano anchoring the early episodes. It also pays attention to the cooler highland climate and the four volcanoes that rise near the capital, two of them active.
The show unfolds across dry and rainy seasons, returning to places after months away to see how the land and life have shifted. That slow accumulation of knowing somewhere properly is the point: what a mountain looks like in December, what a town feels like by August.
Daniela Rojas lives in Costa Rica and stays for two years, moving between cities, coastlines and smaller towns on a route that follows the seasons. Not a week-long visit — Daniela is there in every kind of weather, working out where to eat on an ordinary Tuesday, which train to take, what a festival actually feels like from the pavement.
A new episode arrives every day. Each one is short and specific: one neighbourhood, one journey, one meal, one museum worth the detour — with the practical detail that matters. What it costs. When it closes. Whether the queue is worth it. What to do when it rains. Every episode carries a full transcript and chapter markers.
