¡Bienvenidos! Downtown San José, Costa Rica
We arrived at Juan Santamaria airport Tuesday night, and after being bombarded by local taxi drivers trying relentlessly to scam tourists out of their money, we eventually made it to our hotel in the historical section of downtown San Jose (I always thought 'alto' meant stop in Spanish, but it seems that Costa Rican stop signs are more of a …
White water - white knuckles
Left the villa at Manuel Antonio mid morning - the temperature had been a steady 35+ degrees for our entire stay which was fine for a while but we were beginning to crave a bit of shade. For example, our breakfast was served on the beach each morning at around 8.00am, but the 800m walk from our door down the hill to the sea took about 10 minutes - …
The downside of travel...
On Friday night we marked our last night in La Paz by visiting the Carnaval which had ta ken over about 3km of the Malecon while we were away. It was a great evening, tasting the street foods, watching the numerous bands who had set up stages every 200m or so along the sea front and generally having good time.

We´re headed to San Jose a day earlier than planned to procure some medicines that had been stolen, and somehow track down some warmer clothes. La Fortuna is bursting with clothing -- all the souvenier -beachy variety, and much of what I refer to as " …

TravelPod Member ReviewsHotel Don Carlos San Jose
The hospitality was wonderful here; after we'd been ripped off (sad to admit) by taxi drivers who stole our information from the real don carlos shuttle and claimed to be them (DC offers a shuttle from the airport to hotel for a reasonable price), the manager actually took that amount of money off of our bill since he felt bad for us and for some reason even seemed to give us a discount on the stay. I was not expecting such great customer service! The hotel room was clean and the breakfast (free) was just fine. I'd definitely stay here again.
