Theft and Crime in Costa Rica
Author: admin
Who’s responsible for the majority of theft problems in Costa Rica. Is it as bad as they say, or do the tourists need to wake up and smell the coffee, or maybe just watch their stuff a little better? Check out this video to find out.
The Costa Rica Travel Channel and Travel Costa Rica Now does not wish to scare you. We are merely reminding you of things you forgot you knew when traveling abroad. The majority of crime as it pertains to travelers (petty theft) in Costa Rica, can pretty much be avoided if you just follow of few simple rules. You will notice that these rules pretty much apply to any tourist destination in the world.
Where ever you are at any given time i.e., your surroundings be- attentive, watchful, aware, vigilant, ready to act, observant, on the alert, and on the ball.
So, a guy that makes about a buck an hour sees this video camera sitting on the passenger seat of this car Never leave valuables in plain sight while in your car, even for an minute.
Pickpockets are mostly found in San Jose and they love to use distraction to relieve you of your valuables. Scam- Someone accidentally spills something on you, and someone else playing the good Samaritan quickly arrives to help. Always keep your wallet and passport in your front pockets if you do have to carry your passport.
If a sketchy person approaches your vehicle while you are stopped at a traffic light or sign, sound the car horn and start foaming at the mouth as its all about perception.
When you can avoid it, never carry your passport with you. Instead, make a copy of the front page AND the page that has your entry stamp from immigration on it. This will usually suffice in a pinch.
Just because a person can speak English does not mean they are your friend.

Then head up to the fabled cloud forests of Santa Elena and Monteverde to find all sorts of jungle creatures. Canopy tours, weird wildlife encounters and rumbling mountains are all part of this Costa Rican interior adventure.

San Jose Costa Rica Sabana Park
Author: admin
La Sabana Park or Parque La Sabana is easily located on any map of San Jose. It is located at the western end of Paseo Colon. Back in the day this used to be San Jose’s international airport. This is the perfect place to spend the afternoon and immerse yourself in Tico culture as this is the city’s center for active sports and recreation. Here you’ll find everything from jogging trails, soccer fields, basketball courts and even a few public tennis courts. All the facilities in La Sabana are open to the public.
Parque La Sabana is where Tico families gather for picnics, kite flying, fishing and overall socializing with friends and family, and there’s even an outdoor sculpture garden. This is just a GREAT place to experience local culture and maybe even a good reminder on how the simple pleasures in LIFE are often the BEST… there’s not a PlayStation in site.
Check out our video of La Sabana and if you got an hour or two we would recommend a stroll through the park. We would also recommend you leave this park before dusk and AVOID it all together during the night time hours when the sketchier characters of San Jose come out to play… and they don’t seem interested in a pick-up game of soccer.

GAY Protest- Gran Hotel Costa Rica Discriminates!
Author: admin
GAY Protest held outside the entrance of the Gran Hotel Costa Rica and next to the National Theater. It appears GRAND Hotel Costa Rica may want to consider providing its Security Staff with Sensitivity Training, or perhaps a Review of the current Costa Rican LAWS on the Books regarding the discrimination of Gays. Basically, two lesbians accuse the Security Staff of the Gran Hotel Costa Rica for harassing and discriminating against them for kissing outside the hotel in the square. The kicker, apparently it wasn’t even a ‘making-out’ type of kissing. How boring is that? Well these lesbians weren’t going to take it, so they got their gay ‘family’ and friends to stage a protest outside the Gran Hotel. It was very nice to see a good turn-out and BEST of all, many ‘younger’ gay Tico’s were present of show their SUPPORT. Now that’s what I call a step in the right direction.
