Travel Info Also where to find collectivo schedules. Need to know spanish? Need for local currency? Anything would be appreciated, thanks! Travel Tips It's a lovely place to travel. It's peaceful, the people are lovely and many speak English really well, esp. in tourist areas. We are particulary fond of Tortuguero because we are birdwatchers. You are staying in area loaded with wildlife, but the hotels are very comfortable. You take flat motor boats up the canals and are likely to see all kinds of wildlife. The Pacific Coast is beautiful and more resorty. Manuel Antonio Park has rain forest, beaches and monkeys. A couple stops you may want to make along the way are Poas volcano, which is quite striking but only steaming. Many go to Arenal volcano, but that is sometimes closed due to eruptions and at other times often hidden by cloud. I'd highly recommend the La Paz Waterfall gardens, by far the best of the butterfly farms we've seen ... http://www.waterfallgardens.com/... You can even stay at the small motel there. You may be surprised at how reasonable you can get a planned trip and it may save you lot of grief trying to make connections. We've traveled several times with Costa Rica Expeditions and highly recommend it. They do group and individual trips. http://www.costaricaexpeditions.com/... You can check out our trips on our web site. Here's the link to our latest trip ... http://jackmaryetc.com/travel/americas/c... It's a bit wordy as it's based on a journal kept by my friend. If you go to the Arenal Volcano chapter, our friends describe their trip on local buses. http://jackmaryetc.com/travel/americas/c... Others I have been to Costa Rica 15 times in last 7 years and I recommend orbitcostarica.com for info and especially car rentals as they have best values and honest service. Dr. James Miller Physics Dept Boston University the coke's not as good as columbia and watch out for the war (ya sure it's not goint on) and if you see a guy with a funny hat, it is tradition to point and laugh at him Careful, it's abroad.
