Travel Info


When to go

The best time to visit is in the winter (December to April). Outside of that, it is the rainy season.

Cost

I travelled for about 20-25$/day (2008). For today's prediction visit this website.

How long do I need

It always depends on your travel speed, but for most, I would say about 2 weeks.  

Personal Highlights


  • Wildlife viewing: By far the best place in Central America for wildlife viewing.
  • Monteverde: Explore a true rain forest.
  • Beautiful national parks: Visit Parque Nacional Tortuguero, Parque Nacional Chirripó.
  • Plenty of perfect sandy beaches

Pictures


Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures from my trip to Costa Rica. Read the blog post: "Got Robbed All my Pictures, Twice!", to know more about it.
