Been there twice, but just for a day (on cruises). Beautiful country, lovely, friendly people. Understand there is some great whitewater rafting. Enjoy.

Beautiful beaches........great country. Most americans are unaware of the lush amenities. U can buy a beach front vacation villa for 100k and live like a king down there. If u wanted to live down there, you could live off the interest of your american dollar alone. Enjoy!

My brother talked to a guy down there that sold everything he had in the states and is doing just that. Bought a small (very small) hotel, remodled it, built some more units for $100,000 and lives like a king. :idea: :idea:

Take a tour to the Arenal Volcano & go to the natural hot springs there. Better yet, go to the rain forest. We stayed in Tamarindo and it was the best place ever.

Just realized you stated San Jose.........that would be the capital, and about 2 hours away from the nearest beach. ;)

Costa Rica is awesome! Definately go to Arenal volcano and the hot springs there. The rainforest is unbelievable too. Pretty much travel along the coast and you will love it. San Jose, in my opinion, sucked. ITs crowded and dirty, like Tijuana-ish.
If you happen upon a place called Jungla y Serendera de Los Lagos (or something like that), take the time to stop there. Its a little resort on the side of the volcano, you can hike thru rainforest to the lava line. It has a hotel and little cabins you can stay at. You can play with alligators and they have the most insane waterslide there ever. :p
Pretty much the entire country outside of the capital is just amazing!

RiverOtter the guy your brother talked to was he from N.Cal. My buddys brother just did that last year. We might go down this year and check it out. :cool:
