Don’t drive fast in your rental car, on the highway, or blowing dust all over everything on the dirt roads. Don’t pay bribes on the highway. Tickets do not cost that much. Don’t waste your time comparing Costa Rica life to life in the U.S.. It doesn’t translate.
Do take a million pictures, enjoy the incredible clean air, catch waves, climb hills, commune with nature, it’s everywhere.
Once again go slow, that’s the pace here.

Hello Bluebird Annie!
Thank you for your comment! Have you been to Costa Rica? If not, you would LOVE it! It is a bird-watcher’s haven. Ricky, who is a born-and-raised Costa Rican, is an avid bird-watcher and cannot get enough of the variety of bird species here. If you ever make it to Costa Rica (or if you ever revisit, if you’ve been here before) feel free to reach out to us as we’d be happy to send you some bird-watching location recommendations.
Pura vida! 🙂

I had the pleasure of spending 9 days in Guanacaste Province trapping and banding the Ruby Throated Hummingbird with expert Bill Hilton, Jr. on one of his citizen scientist trips called “Operation Ruby Throat” in February of 2009. I went back for a quick visit to the Caribbean side near Puerto Limon in April of 2011. I will return for sure, just don’t know when.

When you go to places like Costa Rica, it is very important to know the Do’s and Don’t’s if you don’t want your trip to be spent haphazardly. Costa Rica is a wonderful place. A trip to the this land must be enjoyed thoroughly.

Thanks so much! We haven’t been up to Nicaragua yet; there’s so much here worth exploring in Costa Rica that we haven’t yet had the desire to leave. 😉 Whereabouts are you headed and what’s on your bucket list?Pura vida! 🙂
