| charles's Full Review: Costa Rica |
Find yourself in a Central American country which has lots to offer you with a "feel-at-home" type of feeling. You will find many American tourists, workers and expatriates there. They are just enjoying the great historical sites, great fauna and flora of the country. Don't be jealous now. You can do the same. Go to www.tourism-costarica.com, www.crica.com, Yahoo's C.R. page at www.yahoo.com/Regional/Countries/Costa Rica/
All of my friends agree with me that Costa Rica is truly a vacationer's paradise. So if you want to start making your travel plans, you need to keep this in the back of your mind. The dry season (and peak tourist sesaon) is December-April. As a result, the rainy season (what the tour books call the "green season" is a brief 7 months: May-November. When it rains, it rains every day without fail! Just like most Caribbean countries such as Haiti and Jamaica, most morning are sunny and clear unless there is a storm being built somewhere.
Spanish is the official language. English is widely used. Then you have the Indian dialects and Creole English. Costa Rica has a large biodiversity. It is home to 350,000 species of insects. Be ready to see families of white-faced monkeys, dozens of three-foot iguanas and numerous critters and birds. Bring your kayaks and hiking boots!
