Costa Rica
Trip Notes: Costa Rica
We checked into Resort Allegro Papagayo by Occidental. I thought we’d be getting a slightly more eco-friendly experience since it was located in a nature reserve. Not so. I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s been shut-down several time by conservationists for various violations. Saving grace? Wildlife! Iguanas, birds, capuchin and howler monkeys. (Warning: don’t feed them, even though many do, you can wipe out entire populations by spreading human diseases to them).
What to pack: Keep it cool, Costa Rica
The dry season on the north Pacific shore of Costa Rica is hot, hot hot! It’s best to stay
within reach of the beach and a fruity cocktail at all times. A light skirt that
responds to even the smallest of breezes keeps you cool, and it’s easy to move in—
for those impromptu ping-pong tournaments. But if you plan on venturing into the
rain forests (you should!) breathable, waterproof shoes and rainwear are a good idea.
