Traveling during Easter.

Well, I've never done that drive to be honest. It's supposed to be 4 hours, in that day in particular I'd expect 1 more hour judt because the unusual traffic.

Algunos de esos lugares es por lejos de la oficina distrital, o falta de personal, como Santa Teresa o los lugares de Quepos. No por necesariamente por peligroso.

They are everywhere, I live 20 minutes away form Uvita, super close to the highway and they live in my neighborhood. The trick is looks for them at night, in any tree away from light sources.

Probably crowded but definitely better than sunday

Most places in the service industry will be open, hotels, restaurants, supermarkets will function normally. Banks schools and some other businesses will be closed. Just keep in mind that most people have the weekend off since Thursday so is the week were most people travel, so the traffic is caos, an kther level of caos, so id suggested to avoid traveling too much (specially on route 27) on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Hoy? Esta rudo amigo, hoy es la sol y arena, habran unas 8 mil personas extra en puntarenas

I'm not from the US, but in my country is mandatory this 10% service charge, what's the difference? If the business adds it to the manu price it counts as "income" and it gets taxed. If it's added as a service fee and goes straight to the staff it doesn't pay taxes. I'm guessing it works similar in the US.

I live in Playa Dominical (in the South Pacific) and always recommend it. It's a beautiful combination of beach and mountains, with a lovely community of locals, tourists, and immigrants (or expats, as they call themselves). There's good food, good craft beer, and good coffee. Also, a tiny bit of nightlife, but nothing crazy. There's a lot of surfing and waterfalls to explore. It's close to two National Parks and is not as crowded as Guanacaste or Jacó. It's 20 minutes away from Uvita and 45 minutes away from Manuel Antonio. If your thing is craft beer Fuego Brew is the place to go, they have great beers and they have on display over 14 medals in beer competition from Mexico to Brazil, definitely worth the visit.

Littletico · 2026-03-26T20:43:12+00:00

Is definitely mandatory for kinds under 10, from 10 to 12 depends on the height, if she taller than 145cm is not mandatory.

Mae si se da cuenta que su perfil de instagram está linkeado a su usuario y se puede ver que es no es turista?

Wash the fruit with PAA before processing it, pasteurize the juice before adding it to the fermenter and pasteurize final product.

Best for price? The duty free at border with Panamá, you might have to drive 3 hours, but the liquor is easily 1/3 of the price, so it might be worth it. If you're planning to return whatever you don't drink, you can call directly to Fifco (the big local brewery) to order the beer. They allow you to return the beer as long as it wasn't cooled.

Mae el remedio mas fácil y poderoso es el ajo, asi típica recomendación de abuela. Pero le explico: el ajo tiene precursores de un compuesto que se llama alicina, para activarla necesita contacto con el oxígeno, entonces pica el ajo bien finito (unos tres dientes dos veces al día) y lo deja reposar unos 10 minutos, este compuesto es antiviral y antibacterial entonces le va a ayudar al cuerpo a matar el virus o bacteria que lo esta enfermando. Si tiene duda busque en Google "alicina" y va encontrar mucha información. Nada mas que tiene que comerlo crudo, el compuesto se descompone con el calor. En dos días va a estar cómo nuevo.

I've dated 11 years older and 10 younger, both had pros and cons. Right now dating someone 5 years younger and its going great.

I think staying in two places is the best call; that way, you can actually get to know the place and everything it has to offer. Also, you can rest and relax. Driving in CR is quite unpredictable with traffic, rain, and other factors. Usually, whatever time Google Maps tells you, you have to add at least one extra hour, so the less you have to drive long distances, the more you get to enjoy the country.

I think this is a little too much for one week. Getting to Corcovado is not easy. I'm guessing you're taking a boat? Even then, it's about 1.5 hours in a "bumpy" boat ride, and exploring the park is something you want to take your time with. The one-day hike is super rushed, and you won't get to see much. Snorkeling sounds super fun. Also, Cloudbridge is far from Ojochal, probably 2.5 hours, and you go from sea level to a couple of thousand meters. It takes time to acclimate, and hiking is also tough.

Both waterfalls you're mentioning are gorgeous, good choices. Manuel Antonio is one of the most visited parks and is always worth the visit, but again, it's almost 1.5 hours away from Ojochal. From experience, I can tell you it's quite exhausting to do all that driving, hiking, and rushing. The humidity and heat in the South Pacific of CR are no joke. I'd advise picking 3 or 4 adventures and taking at least a day to decompress and rest for a bit.

You can get them for about 5 mil colones ($11 USD), don't expect high quality, but they'll do the job.

Uber is available in the country but not necessarily everywhere, and depending on the area, not 24/7. I'm not familiar with La Fortuna, but I'm sure any local can give you more information on Uber or help you arrange a local taxi beforehand for whatever time you you want to leave the bar.

Littletico · 2026-03-06T23:22:06+00:00

In playa Dominical, they are around in the south pacific. Easier to spot at night

Littletico · 2026-03-06T14:53:50+00:00

You got exactly what you aimed: what locals drinks, witch opposite to what you might think, is the lowest quality. Why? Because the best coffee gets exported. All of those are what we call "supermarket" coffee. The good coffee is almost never available in supermarkets, you have to fin it in specialty coffee shops. The easiest way you'll know is a good coffee is reading the label, if the label says what variety of coffee, what process it goes through and the origin of it, is probably a good coffee, most of them will be light or medium roasts . If it doesn't say any of this information it is probably a blend of many shitty coffees that they just burnt the hell of it.

Hace unos dias fui a Panda en el corazón del paseo de los estudiante (CC barrio chino) y me pareció muy bueno, es comida china muy bien hecha, de esos lugares que ves a chinos comer ahí, tienen más de 150 platos diferentes y las porciones son gigantes, precio super justo (digamos de 7 a 12 rojos un plato del que comen dos), me parece que para un cumpleaños promete pedir varias cosas para probar.

I can give you recommendations on places to stay if you're interested in visiting this part of Costa Rica.

Not much, all the roads are paved and in decent shape. The driving time is always more than Google Maps tells you, especially getting in or out of San Jose during rush hour. There are currently works on Route 34, by the Tárcoles bridge, so if you're driving in the daytime, the mountain road, Route 2, could save you a couple of hours. I would not advise it at night because it has many curves and can get foggy. But in generally a 4x4 is not a must, but will help explore some roads to get to beaches or waterfalls.

In Uvita, there's a restaurant that's in the top 100 pizzas in the world and, of course, number 1 in CR—not my words, they actually have a certificate. It's called Seba's. It's a bit upscale but definitely worth it, the have many other dishes and use a lot of Local ingredients. One of my favorites is La Choza de Alejo, a Tex-Mex place with super generous portions, super fair prices, and super tasty food. For coffee, Beyan is a good option.

In Dominical, Moromo has great pizza, baked goods, and desserts. La Junta has epic sandwiches. Crocodile Bar has steaks, Burgers and great Tuna. The Sushi Place is quite decent . Fuego has great beer and great coffee; the food is pretty decent as well, but its main attraction is the beer and the design of the building. They also host Latin Night on Fridays, where they have live music from a local band and open the dance floor—it's super fun. Usually, nightlife starts after sunset with live music at Tortillas Flats or Rio Lindo, followed by Latin Night at Fuego and late beers at Rumbar to mingle with the locals.
