COSTA RICA!
It all started when my boyfriend said, “We should go somewhere really great!” This is not a rare thing for him to say, yet when he mentioned to me that the cost for his destination in mind was rather cheap, my ears stood to attention.
As I was on the phone with him I searched travelocity and found the cheapest price listed for a ticket to COSTA RICA was around $400-$500. ‘To Costa Rica?’ I thought. For as much as it costs to get to Europe, this seemed to me to be a fairly good deal. My mind has been spinning, so therefore, here is my post about COSTA RICA.
It is gaining popularity as a traveling destination and I am bound to find out why…
Some fun things to know that you may be wondering…
- What is the difference between the rain forest and the cloud forest?
The main difference is that in the cloud forest doesn’t rain as much as in the rain forest. The species of flora and fauna that you might find differ from one to the other. (Hmph…that’s what I thought.)
Some average prices…(according to lonelyplanet.com)
- litre of petrol, ¢0.65
- small bottle of beer, ¢0.75
- souvenir t-shirt, ¢8.00
- loaf of bread, ¢0.50
- cold coconut water, ¢0.50
- litre of bottled water, ¢0.75
- two hours surfing lessons in Tamarindo, ¢30.00
Average Room Prices can be as low as $5! all the the way to $70 and above. Doesn’t sound too bad to me for a remote destination with lots of greenery and water.
Accommodation: Low US $5-15, Mid US $15-40, High US $40-70, Deluxe US $70+
Average Meal Prices: Low US $3-10, Mid US $10-20, High US $20-25
All I know is that if I can get one of these exotic mud mask/bath-thing brushed on by some little old costa rican lady with wise eyes and beautiful skin while I sip on some sort of toxic local fare, well then sign me up. The more exotic the location the better!
Costa Rica, here I come!
