COSTA RICA TRAVEL
COSTA RICA!! PURA VIDA! ...This is my favorite country in all of central America! It's where North America and South America meet in the middle and flow with perfect harmony. Most people fly into San Jose but don't spend much time there, however there is so much going on right in the city. There's great clubs with live music, shopping, incredible food, some of the best places to dance, and is tourist friendly by all means. It really is a place worth spending some time in. Whether you are flying in or driving in, the absolute best place to s start out at is Costa Rica Backpackers. It's located in the heart of San Jose about a thirty minute taxi ride from the main airport (SJO ). This is a tranquil spot to start your trip off coming right from the plane or if you been driving and crossing borders all day long. Once inside it's so chill you will forget your in the city. The hostel has a pool, restaurant, game/movie room, many computers, telephones and kitchens for anyone who wants to cook there own meals. The dorm rooms with WiFi included runs $13 a bed can and sleep up to 4 people a night , or you can pay $32 for a private room with WiFi included as well. If you leave for day trips to the volcano's or white water rafting they offer a safe place to leave your luggage or surf boards so your not stuck lugging it around. Everything is kept under lock and key well supervised by the staff. They have so many resources to all of Costa Rica right from the hostel as well as trusted taxis and shuttles to and from the airport. There staff speaks English as well as other languages so you can call ahead to reserve a room and have a taxi waiting for you at the airport.

A best western or a Marriott will run you up to a hundred and fifty dollars a night, and sometimes more on the beaches. On the beaches most resorts are pricey and usually empty (which can be a good thing for some) because there are so many chill hostels and beach motels surrounding them.
COSTA RICA FUN
There is such a crazy night life in San Jose , every night you can find something going on. One of the biggest clubs to check out in San Jose is El pueblo. This is the spot! It's a small community of 20 bumping bars and clubs in a 10 block area. They have every type of music, dance, food, live Djs and dancers every night of the week! It's easy to find with every taxi or just about anyone in Costa Rica knows where it is. Of course the tropical beaches with bomb surf is fun enough, but there is still so much more going on before you even leave the city. Out side San José in Alajuela there are some incredible volcano's and white water rafting that make for great day trips. The most active volcano in Costa Rica is Arenal located in the Arenal National park. To climb a more accessible volcano near by in the same park you'll want to visit the poas volcano. To be the closest to Arenal, spend the night in La Fortunas Hot spring resorts a little town a stone throws away from this erupting beauty. Being so close yet in a safe distance from harms way is perfect for sitting back and enjoying the truly spectacular show. Jump on tico time and check out the surrounding cities and pueblos filled with tons of restaurants , festivals and the always thriving Tico culture.
