First from the airport we went to a hotel in Santo Domingo located in Heredia not too far from San Jose, the capitol. The name of the hotel was called, "Bougainvillea". afterwards we traveled to limon on the carribean to puerta viejo and stated at a lodge where we all had our own little huts it was cool. Each bed had this net that would hang above the bed that you'd have it hovering over you and the mattress but from the ceiling while you're sleeping so the bugs can't bite you at night. it really isn't as bad as you might think! We hiked to a small village that nobody knows of it is a small community called Punta Mona that these people only cook what they grow from their garden. Everything they use is from the land. It took us about 2.5 hours hiking through the rain forest just to get to this small community. it only consists of a kitchen and a place where you dine and sleep. also there is outhouses where you go to shower. the rest is rain forest. after a week there we went to San Juaquien in Heredia and that is where we studied at CPI (Central panamericano internacional). During our 2 month stay in Costa Rica we traveled to these places. The peace waterfalls el volcan poas el volcan arenal Monte verde (here was an optional excursion where we got to do cool things like ride on zip lines through mountain tops and other cool things like fall out of the sky from a ledge far far up hooked in a harness and right at the end when the rope tugs you go flying far far far!! In monte verde we also got to go to a coffee and sugar cane farm to see the process of sugar cane and coffee beans. I believe Monte Verde was in Alajuela. In Guanacaste we went to this vegetarian farm where we stayed for a week working and learning many great things and what it takes to maintain a farm. They ate no meet at this farm, nor did they slaughter any animals. they had goats and cows and many animals that helped them do daily choires and they provided food for the people at the farm for example milk cheese and everything they grew was editable. even things that you would never find in the states! (papaya!). I also went to Panama City on one of my free weekend from the University in Costa Rica, but that is another story! Costa Rica is a great place with many tourists in the thousands and thousands! Costa Rica is not a third world country, and the country has really come a very long ways! I would say that Costa Rica is a safe place but still common sense and safety is not forgotten ever no matter where you travel in the world. If you are a foreigner, likely you will always be the one that will be the victim chosen instead of a local citizen. Feliz Viaje! i did a study abroad program to costa rica.
