JSE 1 #1 July 14, 2008 Well, I just found out that I’m going to Costa Rica for my post bar exam trip. I leave in about two and a half weeks and I’ll be there for about two weeks. I am insanely busy between now and when I leave (studying for the bar, taking the bar, moving out of my apartment) so I don’t have to much time to plan stuff... So has anyone been there lately? Got any recommendations of things to do? Places to stay? Things I should know? I’m not a very experienced international traveler, but at least I know that my passport is still “in date.” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stacy 0 #2 July 15, 2008 We went for our honeymoon.... Look up a tour company called Avispa's Adventures... they do great tours and not the cattle car kinds. We paid a few bucks extra and actually had a private full day tour. Great people and reasonable prices compared to what you get for the big bus-type tours. the place we stayed has since been bought out by a chain hotel (Hilton or Hyatt)- would have recommended it before but no idea what changes were made. Did one trip to Diria coffee plantation and that was one of the neatest tours I've ever done! ALso went to Miravalles, did some hiking to see some off-the trail waterfalls/jungle, zip lining and some horseback riding. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tdog 0 #6 July 18, 2008 See attached photos... Costa Rica a few months ago. LOVE THE PLACE. Look for the Trapp Family Inn near the airport for a night's stay. Cool place. Jaco was very touristy. Caldera is awesome for paragliding. The people are awesome. Don't be stupid, there are a lot of people there who are not as honest as..... Example, a family was pulled over for a "flat tire". Their car was stolen when they got out to see the tire. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
