To most people in this planet, Costa Rica means nothing more than a Latin-American country cradled by the Caribbean and the Pacific Ocean. To its natives, this is home. To the sports buff, a source of excitement and great adventures. To the environmentalists, it is home to some of the world’s most diverse species of plants and animals. And to booty-lovers, it’s a melting pot of brazen sun-kissed beach goddesses. Everyone seems to throw in their two cents on Costa Rica’s appeal. Whatever they have to say, there is surely more to Costa Rica than meets the eye!

Something curious or exciting or wonderful is jam-packed in every square feet of the country. Wherever you are, there will always ALWAYS be something to marvel at. The sights are breathtaking. The food is sublime. The booze is amazing. And the people, especially the ladies, are the greatest! What more could I ask for?
