The only place in all of Costa Rica that I have taken every single person who has visited me are the Baldi Hot Springs. Words will never due justice to this wonderland located in Arenal. Try to think of an Eco Walt Disney World, with a giant active volcano as its backdrop. [...]
The nicest sunset I have seen is not here in Tamarindo, but it is none the less well worth watching. The sun sets at your feet if you find yourself lying on the beach. My personal favorite place to watch this magnificent sunset however is on top of any one of the numerous [...]
Soccer may not be the most popular game in North America, but it definitely rules Costa Rica. Fans are passionate and live and die by their teams.
