I absolutely love Costa Rica and have visited several times, covering a large part of the country, I have done few adventure activities, lots of hiking and exploring, volunteering, taken Spanish lessons and used the local buses to get from A-B. I have already advised friends and people I have met on my travels within the country & even rescued two girls that were wandering lost in San José. I hope to move here one day. I also have friends in the Costa Rican travel industry so what I don't know, I can find out - they are full of knowledge!

I recently (jan - Jul 2010) spent six months in Costa Rica. In that time I spent a month getting TEFL certified in Quepos/Manuel Antonio. I spent most of my time in in Quepos/Manuel Antonio but also travelled to Dominical, Montezuma, Samara, Puerto Viejo, and Monte Verde with a couple of trips into Northern Panama (Bocas Del Toro) and Southern Nicaragua.
I can provide detailed information about the Quepos/Manuel Antonio area as well as general information about the other destinations mentioned above. I can also answer questions about Costa Rica in general.

Santo Domingo de Heredia, in the center of Costa Rica, near airports and excellent public transport, is a good town (base camp) from where to discover the country's fascinating attractions: easy day trips to discover fauna and flora, volcanoes and national parks, and practice rafting, mountain biking, bungee jumping , hiking. The Pacific and Atlantic coasts are a mere 2 hours' drive away.
You may find culturally interesting and reasonably priced places off the beaten track where to stay. And if your goal is to learn Spanish, several language institutes are located nearby.

I lived in Costa Rica for 3 years and I know alot about tha country. I know all of the places to have fun, (beaches, canopy tour, quad riding, horseback trails.) I know where the best schools are (Guanacaste, San Jose.) San Jose is the capital and is very crowded. Tamarindo is on the Coast and is very small and lovely, lots of surfing and fun. I know where the hot springs and volcanic mud is. Trabicon Hotel in La Fortuna is the most expenssive but by far the best. Lake Aranal is great for wind surfing. So thats about have of what i knoow about Costa Rica if you need more info. e-mail me [email protected] or send me a message through travellerspoint messenging.
