Study abroad. Costa Rica and snakes? |
Travel Info I'm planning on studying abroad sometime in the next year or two and I'm looking at either mexico or spain, but I've considered Costa Rica as well, Only problem is is I've heard that there are snakes everywhere in Costa Rica and I'm scared to death of snakes. Is this true, or are there parts that would be safe for me? Travel Tips You should consider as an option too Guatemala. It has a large variety of spanish schools and its a favorite destination spot for this purpose, because we speak spanish slowly (in comparison to other latin american countries and spain). Rarely any snakes in the urban areas. Most of them are found in the jungle in the northern part of the country and in forests. Source(s): www.enjoyguatemala.com www.aroundantigua.com Other Travel Tips It's true, but it's not like you're going to walk out and have to brake for snakes. You're going to see snakes, but not just going crazy. The bugs will also be larger. Basically, if you're going to study anywhere south of Mexico, you're going to run into snakes and large bugs. You would get an AMAZING experience, but you also are walking into a very jungle-eske environment. You can't exactly pretend that there aren't things that could seriously hurt you. If you want to play it safe, go to Spain. If you want to play with your adventerous side, so to Costa Rica. Hey, don't worry! I'm Costa Rican and I have never seen a snake in my life! Snakes are in very hot provinces, like Lim贸n, Guanacaste, Puntarenas and in some parts of Alajuela. If you live in San Jos茅 and surroundings or in Heredia and surroundings, even in Alajuela, it is unlikely that you will see a snake :-) Don麓t worry you are safe. I wish I could see more snakes than I do. The other we were walking and saw a small one, the one that eats rats and we let it go. When you visit the neotropics please, enjoy whatever it offers, including snakes. The poisonous are almost extinct. Come on aboard! Remember it's in a tropical area. Whether or not you'll enjoy living in Costa Rica is entirely up to you. I can't stand snakes, but love Costa Rica and Panama. I studied abroad in Costa Rica for four months, and traveled all over the country. I never saw a snake once. |
