i'll be getting off the plane in san jose, and then what? i figured i'd figure that out when i get there. stay in the city for a couple nights? head out? stay at a hostle? in a cheap hotel? i'm a girl, will be by myself... what's your opinion? where are some cool towns, where to avoid?
Well I would say cheak out the volcano Arenal and Tamarindo (my surf town). Those are two of the biggest places here. I haven't been in San Jose longer than a night, but I wouldn't recomend staying there for too long. A day or too is fine but there are other places you would probally want to go. Plus if you come to Tam you can surf with me. You don't need to know how to surf to surf in Tamarindo. People come here to learn how to surf a lot.
ooh and if you're on the caribbean coast you have to go to Puerto Viejo and stay at Rockin J's. Ace hostel.
Im so excited, im going in March. Heres the stuff im gonna be doing, they all sound like tons of fun, so maybee you should use them as ideas as stuff you would like to do: travel to Arinal via Poas Volcano, Lake Arenal kayaking tour, La Fortuna Waterfalls visit, travel to Monteverde, school visit, canopy tour(rainforest), Monteverde Cloud Forest guided visit, horseback ride, Frog Pond vist, Jaco Beach, Manuel Antonio Nat. Park, San Jose, Sarchi (whatever that means?). So maybee you should check those out and maybe do some? They sound like a blast!
