Answer 1

watch your wallet

Answer 2

First, I am so excited for you! I went there about a year ago for a little over a week and had a blast!

Look into these places:

The Cloud Forest in Monteverde

San Jose, even though it's a big city, it's actually pretty neat

The Arenal volcano is amazing too! Normally you can't see the peak but when I was there we could, and it was incredible.

Manuel Antonio is a beautiful beach! There is a tour that you can take, I would suggest paying for a tour guide. With a  guide you can see all sorts of monkeys, sloths, and bats. It's pretty neat!

That is all I can think of right now, but I know there is more!

It is such a beautiful country with really nice people! I hope you enjoy your trip!

Answer 3

Bug spray...........lots of it............

Answer 4

Buy some salsa lisano... Awwww... that stuff is amazing to put on rice, beans, any kind of meat. And you can only buy it in Costa Rica. Yummmmmmmm...

Answer 5

Stay away from Bot Flies!!! Bug spray!! lost of it!! Hope u have fun!!!

Answer 6

On the Pacific coast the places to go are:

• Playa Conchal

• Mal Pais

• Playa Tambor

On the Caribbean side go to:

• Puerto Viejo (only if you are traveling with a companion), you will be just fine.

If you are interested in volcanoes then visit Volcan Arenal and stay  over night, you can see the lava flowing down the side of the volcano (pretty cool stuff) OR the Irazu and Poas volcanoes, they are not as dramatic, but you will see a volcano crater as near as you can ever be.

If water rafting is on your to do list then contact Costa Rica expeditions at http://www.costaricaexpeditions.com/Whit...

In San Jose – do NOT waist any time – not much to see or do.

Hotels to stay in San Jose:

• Gran Hotel Costa Rica – Will put on the middle of all the action

Do NOT wonder around alone – That goes for Costa Rica or any other country in the world!

Most of all, have fun, relax… if you follow common and sense you will be just fine.

Enjoy your time in Costa.

My #1 recommendation:  Puerto Viejo

White water rafting, swimming, canopy, horseback riding.

Ecotours, beachcombing

Costa Rica is a beautiful country.  I wish I was going with you.
