First time to Costa Rica. And to Jaco too. Is there any suggestions to "must see" and "must not"?

Thanks, Andy

I really enjoyed the ATV riding up in the mountains. But a word of caution, DO NOT wear your good clothes, they will get very very dirty. That reddish clay is very difficukt to wash out. I ruined a new pair of jeans and sneakers. It just wouldn't come off.

The Canopy tour is another one that's very cool. But I would do it elsewhere, not Jaco. There's always a good hike up to the top where the first station is, and Jaco is very hot and humid. (Did I mention it was hot and humid? :lol: ) That hike up almost killed me. I lost 15 lbs of sweat on the way up. The equipment isn't heavy but you're wearing it as you walk up.

There are 2 canopy tours close to Jaco. We took the one between Jaco & Hermosa and they had a 4wd truck pulling a trailer to take us up in . the walk was less than 5 min. not too bad .Great viewa , 12 stations , would do again.

My canopy tour was also near Jaco, but we had to hike up a hill and then a LOT of stairs. The whole hike up took about 25-30 minutes with a brief stop for water. Everybody was ready to drop after that one.

Hey Orange, was it hot and humid?

I guess "hot & humid" depends on your perspective. Having lived most of my life on the Gulf Coast , New Orleans Houston , Clearwater Fl. I found Jaco to be fine weatherwise. It was very warm but not hot & untill you have lived in New Orleans in August & Sept. You really don't know what humid is .

Andy,

Check out Jacos Tacos. They offer a salsa/salad bar with over 40 selections to build your own taco.

Jaco Taco is great. I ate there in June 2005 on my first trip. They have awesome cheesy quesadillas. And relatively cheap too. I wanted to eat there again last month, but forgot. Instead, we ate at some overpriced tourist trap (take your pick, there's many) :lol: .

Bubbas has awesome fish & shrimp tacos. Best I've had . I ordered 1 of each & they were to much for me to finish.
