Costa Rica, wow what can I say about this beautiful country. The people, wildlife, rain forests, and of course, the beaches. With the Pacific Ocean on the west and the Atlantic on the east, it has national parks, biological reserves, and it draws visitors by the packs, also thanks to its rivers, volcanoes, and waterfalls.
Costa Rica has two seasons, dry or wet. High season, or the dry season, is from December through April, and green or wet season lasts from May to November. The tropical climate of Costa Rica averages about 72 degrees Fahrenheit although it can be considerably hotter in the coastal or beach areas and much cooler in the mountainous regions.
There are a wide choice of hotel accommodations throughout the country, ranging from five star hotels to quaint lodges, something to suit everybody's taste and budget. Costa Rica's friendly people and peaceful life style make it a favorite vacation destination.
My favorites throughout the country was the Arenal Volcano. It was a clear night so I was able to see lava flows, and it was spectacular. Other sites to see are; Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, Manuel Antonio National Park, and the La Fortuna waterfalls. All these magnificent sites will leave you overwhelmed by its natural beauty.
For the adventurist at heart, you will discovers Costa Rica's mighty rivers for white water rafting and river kayaking; the marine life in the Pacific waters for the scuba divers; the mountains for the mountain bikers, and a wide diversity of scenery for the horse back riders. I opted for the horse back riding and I thought the two hours would never end, neither did my thighs. Ouch, I was sore for two days, not as easy as it looks. What a challenge galloping through the country roads, but at the same time thrilling, just seeing all the beauty Costa Rica as to offer.
