Costa Rica is a small country in Central America – its land is marked by spectacular volcanoes, many of which are still active. There is very little flat land. The plains along the Pacific and Caribbean coasts are characterized by tropical forests and beautiful beaches. The middle of the country is quite mountainous. In mid-February 2008, we joined a group with Overseas Adventure Travel to spend a couple of weeks seeing some of the best parks and natural areas.
The notes and pictures below describe each day of our trip. At the end, there is a description of our hotels – each was unique in some way.
