We're planning a probable trip here later this year and I found your page very informative and helpful. Love the wildlife photos, especially the birds, frogs and sloth!

Hi I don't dissagree with you, but I do worry about the antisocial behaviour here & thnk how will I be safe from this whn I'm old There's rude and then there are beatings. We have only 81k prision places here. That's for 56 m population. All the best.

A coupel years ago we were planning to schedule a trip to Costa Rica, but went to Buenos Aires instead. It was a wonderful trip, but I really want to see Costa Rica someday. You've presented it so well!
