    Okay, I’ve posted a few questions here today and so far I’ve made up my mind as to what I want to do in Costa Rica. Since my travel time is rather limited – 5 days. I would like to see the best rainforest if possible, and to join a fishing trip. Can anyone tell me where I can get the best deal on both and where to stay. My main concern is my budget. I’ve looked into a few CR fishing trips and they cost a ton, somewhere in the $700 USD range? This is outragously high! Is this possible? I’m not looking into something fancy at all just a ordinary fishing trip. So to sum it all up, where I should stay to cut down my travel time and at the same time be able to do both and still have time to see more? How far is San jose to Quepos? I’ve found tons of great hotel deal in San Jose but don’t know how difficult to go from SJ to Quepos. Some day Quepos is the best and SJ for more for business travelers? I have 5 days 4 night. Please help!

    Trip to Costa Rica near Jaco in the Los Suenos Resort & Marina. I love this area and would go back in a heartbeat!



    I found out about a wildlife sancuary in costa rica that I absolutely want to volunteer at. however, I dont have much money, and i would have to pay for plane tickets, lodging, and food. all of the grant information i can find is only for particular organizations, and this one is smaller so there arent any grants that are specific to it.
