Coming late Feb for 10 days. Starting off at my favorite SL. Going to do some exploring mid trip and coming back for last couple days at SL. This will be my 8th trip and can't wait to come down. Would like to see the Carribean while there. Looking for any advice on this. Thought I would like to se a little more of the country and recover at the same time. I've spent time in Jaco and Manuel Antonio. Any thoughts on other areas to see. Tired of not being able to answer questions about Costa Rica on the plane ride down.

Well, I've been to Puerto Limon. It's pretty much the biggest city in CR on the Caribbean coast. It's like a different country then San Jose. Much hotter and humid... very much in the rain forest. Many of the locals there are of Jamaican descent so you have a lot more blacks then in other areas of CR. It's a very poor area and the city is rough, but it has it's charms as well. And there's local MP's I had one local take me to a tico MP very much off the beaten tourist path.

I've also done some tourist stuff out of San Jose, like go visit the Poas volcano. It's not expensive to hire a cab for the day and have him take you there and to some other spots like the La Paz waterfalls. And of course there's all the eco-tourist stuff like the zip lines through the rain forest, etc.

Thanks, I may just take a day trip yo the Caribbean and then rent a car and head north and then over to the Peninsula and spend a few days looking around.
