If you are staying at a hotel or lodge near rainforest excursions, they will often have boots for you to use. If not, you can buy boots here really cheap - they are everywhere - just plain black rubber boots. If you are going for a long hike, I would not recommend wearing new boots, however. If you have hiked in other wet countries, you know what to expect. Many people just wear comfortable sneakers, realizing they will get wet. You really cannot keep your feet dry - with rubber boots, you feet are wet from sweat! It is true here also that after a heavy rain, there will usually be a break for you to dry out. Of course, if you have a problem with your feet already, you will want to be extra careful. Maybe extra socks? Extra small towel? Things like that. I would not recommend bringing heavy boots or hiking boots. If you are concerned about your body getting wet, you can bring a small pon

Cahuita and the Limon province of Costa Rica, have a special flavor to them. The Caribbean area offers a natural and cultural environment that is completely different from the rest of the country. Coconut trees leaning towards the ocean, spectacular reefs, the sounds of Bob Marley and Alpha Blondie, and tourists wearing dreadlocks and Birkenstocks abound in this area. Even if you’re not the Rasta type, you shouldn’t miss out on the natural beauty of the forest and reefs of Cahuita.

Costa Rica Dolphin tour in Gandoca National Park

Just wondering if anyone has tried this diving and snorkeling tour on the Caribbean coast near the Panama border?
Is there any chance of not just watching the dolphins, but actually getting out of the boat and snorkeling or diving with them? Found it on website of Isla Inn in Cahuita:
Dolphin watching and snorkeling. Take a beautiful ride along the coast past Manzanillo deep into the Gandoca National park. Near the Panamanian border, atlantic and bottlenose dolphins come in to feed in the brackish waters near the Sixaola river. After seeing the dolphins, we cruise back to Mona island for snorkelling and/or diving! Then we continue back up the coast to Punta Uva for our second dive and second snorkelling site.

As the howls of spider monkeys echoed around our forested cabin, I tried to open my eyes – only to find that they were crusted shut. “This is not good,” I called out to Don, who was doing a scorpion check of the bathroom. He came out, his eyes red around the rims. “Great, I have it too,” he groused. “There’s no way we’re going to be able to pass this off.”
We were in Tortuguero- a national park on Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast that gave new meaning to remote. We had taken two buses and a two-hour boat ride down jungle-lined canals to get here, mostly so we could witness the spectacle of giant sea turtles nesting on the beach at night. Returning early to San Jose was not an option.
But there were others in our group to consider. At dinner the night before, a British surfer girl had voiced suspicions about my condition, known as highly contagious to anyone who has

I Left My Crackpipe in Puerto Viejo Costa Rica

And I did. The next morning, after a thrilling single night’s stopover at Costa Rica Backpackers, a hostel well fortified as a crack and hooker-proof enclave downtown, I took an eight dollar bus to Puerto Viejo, the main tourist town on the Caribbean coast. The trip took about four hours and included a hurried piss stop in Limon, a city gringos such as myself mostly just piss in and head, pun half intended, on out of. We also stopped briefly in Cahuita, a serene town that my ex-boyfriend said would be perfect for me and therefor had been excluded from my travel plans.
And Puerto Viejo seemed as decent a place as any…stepping off the bus I was actually delighted by the bustling village, which is inhabited by a bizarre admixture of European and North American Land of Manana (sorry, no enyay accent) expats, black Caribbeans who speak a brand of pidgen English, your standard Ti

Turrialba is truly a fresh new touristic site in Costa Rica. In recent years the touristic activity of the area has been incresing constanly, and now going to Turrialba is a fun and great way to live Costa Rica country side. There visitors can find amazing landscapes, archeological sites, active volcanic views, great adventure tours, such as canyoning, canopy, white water rafting, and mountain biking, among others, great food and nice people. It is a place where visitors could fin a little bit of everything in one place. It is also a stop place between San Jose and the Caribbean; visitors should not meet this place in their itinerary.

Yes, Costa Rica is a paradise. It is a great place to visit for history, art, food, beaches, beauty of both men, women and children and Nature.
It is a vacation spot and a Life spot. There are animals galore, Volcanoes, rain forests, cloud forests (Bet you never heard of that before), the Pacific and the Caribbean and prices are generally fair and moderate.

Great Escape Tree House Lodge Punta Uva If You Can Afford It

In no time I found this gorgeous hideaway, too beautiful not to share...
The Tree House Lodge is situated on 10 acres of oceanfront property in Punta Uva, on the Caribbean coast. The complex is made up of four separate houses, each with their own private beach. The houses all have a handcrafted feel, but perhaps the most distinguishing features are the bathrooms; One houses a 100 year-old tree growing in the center of it, another is a whopping 800 square feet with a sea-horse jacuzzi! And no surprise here, the lodge is built out of sustainable woods, with many of the fallen trees hauled out of the jungle by oxen. Now, if I could only afford it.

Puerto Viejo Costa Rica (The Sun Also Rises)

Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica. Right... rant warning. I've always had a strange desire to test myself by being washed up on a desert island, but I fear that my skills at survival would be no match for a lack of will. ..As I walked along a trail I recognised several fruit trees, taro roots (which are a great form of jungle carbs but need to be cooked or they will poison you), and a couple of useful trees for making bows or shelters. But I couldn't stretch out the work-dodging for ever, and I needed to rush back to the toilet again anyway! I've completely lost my appetite and fear I insulted Selina by not eating her lunch burritos. After that I had to lay down and felt so weak I couldn't bring myself to leave my bed. And it was raining heavily. And the dogs had had diarrhoea all over the porch. And the cat had puked on the sofa. And I ran out fags the day before yesterday. Considered a 3 hour

In my opinion, you will on the Caribbean side, find the best beaches just south of Puerto Viejo. Hiking, surfing and snorkelling are great depending on when you are planning to go.
The Puerto Viejo area is a funny and very relaxed mix of backpackers and more luxury orientated tourists and has a lot of marvellous places to stay and good restaurants.
You may look into a combination of Arenal volcano and Tortuguero and Puerto Viejo.
