Costa Rica - "Pura Vida"! Already at the airport we were confronted with the slogan of Costa Rica. "Pure Life" was also what we experienced in the 2 weeks we spent in Costa Rica. This country is just packed with natural beauty, so we could have easily spent more time there. Just to mention some of the highlights: nesting sea turtles and its babies in Tortuguero, active volcano and hot springs in La Fortuna, cloud forest in Monteverde, wild ocean and beautiful beaches on the Pacific in Manuel Antonio, Caribbean flair and more beautiful beaches in Puerto Viejo and not to forget all the wildlife (especially my beloved monkeys!) all over the place...

On the flipside, it has to be mentioned that the capital, San Jose, is not a beauty and that October might be the worst month to visit - I have never seen that much rain in my life, well... that's probably why they call it rain forest... d'oh! Overall, one should definitely not miss visiting this breathtaking country. It is also pretty safe and has high standards in terms of hygiene. Costa Rica... you really spoiled us. Won't be easy for the following countries to beat that, but I'm sure looking forward to Panama as well!
