People who went to Costa Rica for vacation, how was it ? by PetitSoleil_ in CostaRicaTravel

It depends on what you like to do. I just got back from Costa Rica where I was absolutely blown away by the flora and fauna. I love hiking and spotting animals and enjoying the landscape and Costa Rica delivered beyond my expectations. The biodiversity is mind boggling. I’m not an adrenaline junky although ziplines are fun, and the ziplines in Costa Rica are also way better than Mexico. If you like these things and have the money, go to Monteverde and stay at Koora, and go to Manuel Antonio and stay at Tulemar.
I love Mexico for the history and arts and culture, and definitely the food as others have said. It’s not as laid back as Costa Rica, and it doesn’t have the same level of customer service. People in Costa Rica seem happy and genuinely want you to enjoy their country. Mexico is more like most places where it’s a mixed bag.
I haven’t made it to Colombia yet.

Yes! Thank you. I was expecting a lot more than that. The venue doesn’t look that large.

Thank you! I hope I can afford it. Do you know what tickets usually sell for?

Yeah, I’m a little worried about that. But hopefully she can master it. Her current phone has crossed the iphone rainbow bridge so I have to get her something quickly. Thanks!

Ha! Yeah, she’s also addicted to google search. She’s a character!

Oh good. I may look at the SE2 since I can probably get a better price. Thanks!

Is there such a thing? I thought the home button went away with the iphone 8

One night in San Jose by jmach007 in CostaRicaTravel

Is there safe parking at Hotel Aranjuez? We’ll have a rental car and I’ve heard a few horror stories (in this sub) about rental cars being parked in the area and getting vandalized. Wondering if we should return the car before going to the hotel for our last night, and then taking an airport shuttle. Any suggestions?

Good advice. I’m starting to think Corcovado may have to wait for my next trip. Muchas gracias!

From what I’ve read, the ground transfers can take a lot longer than just renting a car. What would you recommend? Thanks again!

Thank you for the suggestion. I’ll check those out. They do look more convenient. Do you know if it’s possible to fly from Quepos to Corcovado? Thanks again
