On this adventure, Gil visits Costa Rica, to meet his friend Rafa. Rafa lives at hotel in the small town of Santa Teresa. Santa Teresa is located on the Pacific coast of the Nicoya peninsula.
This is a place where you can learn to surf, go zip-lining through the jungle and get woken up every morning by howler monkeys. The two friends visit a place called ‘Isla Tortuga’, which means Turtle Island, go quad biking, meet ghost crabs and some scary vultures
Gil gets to practice his Spanish which causes some very funny moments of confusion.
