Imagine waking up to the view of a steaming volcano followed by a day of Waterfall Repelling, Volcano Hiking, Hot Springs, and some molting hot lava picture taking (if your lucky).

Sounds like a lot to cram into one day? Not when you’re in La Fortuna, CR. Most people wouldn’t consider this a relaxing day of vacation, BUT not only will you have the opportunity to do all of this in a single day, YOU can do it without scrambling around like a mad person.

Get out around 8 am depending on the time you choose to waterfall repel, and get ready to travel on a rugged pickup truck trek up the mountain. Your tour guides will pick you up from the downtown and happily bring you to the starting place of your repel. The guides are very happy to be with you and are filled with great stories of growing up in Costa Rica so don’t be shy (like how to decapitate a Fer de Lance snake). Once you get over the jitters of what you’re about to do, you will really enjoy the entire repel trip and the humor of the guides. There are plenty of activities other than repelling along the way. Be sure to bring only waterproof cameras because you’ll have plenty of opportunities to take pictures of all the cool spiders, lizards, and waterfalls you’ll see. After the tour you’ll get a typical homemade Costa Rican lunch on a deck overlooking the mountains.  Read more...

Famous for its beautiful resorts and beaches, you will experience a really cool and exciting surfing experience with several of their unparalleled beaches that’s visited mostly by surfers like the Playa Dominical and the Playa Manzanillo. Costa Rica beaches are notably good places for other water activities like windsurfing, snorkeling, swimming, scuba diving, white water rafting, kayaking and etc. These beaches that lay on the Pacific and Caribbean vary from black to white sands and from isolated to crowded beaches.

San Jose is the capital town of Costa Rica and is conveniently found in the middle of the country, providing visitors with simple access to several of the country’s most well-liked activities. The town lies in the middle of the Meseta Central, or Central Valley, and enjoys a nice climate year round with temperatures that tend to hover around seventy degrees Fahrenheit.

History & Culture
Thanks to its central location and its status as the capital city, San Jose and the surrounding valley is home to over 2 3rds of the state’s whole population. The town also hosts a global airfield, as well as colleges, major surgeries, and commercial complexes.

Lodging & Dining
If you are looking to be close to all the capital town has to offer, then you are going to love Hotel Grano de Oro or Hotel Alta. Both of these luxurious hotels offer renowned restaurants of their own, and are within walking distance to all the culture, nightlife, and dining found in San Jose.

If tranquility is what you seek, but you would like to take advantage of the conveniences of the city, then try Vista del Valle, El Silencio Lodge & Spa, Peace Lodge, or Xandari.

You can find numerous methods to obtain to Costa Rica and you would like to understand a few things before you start out. First points first, you’ll need to acquire your passport in order. This sounds rudimentary and not worth mentioning but you should be astonished how quite a few people that I know personally which have planned and paid for their journey to Costa Rica and show up at the airport without a passport. Airline travel to Costa Rica and most other foreign countries by U.S. residents demands that the traveler hold a valid passport. You’ll be able to get a passport at any U.S. Post Office in about 3 to six weeks. If you will need it quicker you’ll find agencies that you are able to go to that may process it in as small as two days, but it’s going to cost considerably a lot more.

When contemplating airline travel to Costa Rica, it’s going to depend upon what airport you’re leaving from. Delta flies probably the most planes there but you’ll need to fly towards Atlanta air port and I personally dislike this spot. It truly is so large you’ve to consider a small subway train from a person terminal for the other. It’s noisy and unless you could have a pass for the Admiralty Club, you’ll find your self waiting quite a few hours on hard plastic chairs surrounded by screaming infants and self crucial yahoos attempting to impress you by talking as loud as they could into their cell phones about giant business deals they’re supposedly putting together. So in the event you live for the West Coast, you may well want to consider Continental Airlines. They also do not travel direct to Costa Rica, but their pit stop is at Houston International Airport, which isn’t only closer (3 several hours from the West Coast as opposed to six and also a half hours to Atlanta) but also, in my opinion, a lot much more comfy and far less crowded and noisy.  Read more...
