"Costa Rica - a nice way to start with the Tropics" Costa Rica by lotharlerch
Costa Rica Travel Guide: 6,442 reviews and 11,329 photos
This marvellous tiny piece of our planet seems to me the easiest possible way to start with the Tropics - set aside maybe only by a few exceptional small tropical islands. It has almost all of the beauties you can expect in the hot and humid zones. In addition to all that it offers a lot of advantages you hardly can expect elsewhere in these geographical latitudes. And all is surprisingly easy to access.
- Pros:see the title
- Cons:it gets too touristy
- In a nutshell:Great nature - nice people
