Alissa and I just got back from Costa Rica. What a wonderful country. We were able to do lots of nature hikes. It is a pretty diverse place; we were in rain forest, cloud forest, and beach side forest. All of the places were very exciting and interesting, although it is getting quite touristy. I would highly recommend it for the adventurous couples and families. Kids really like seeing all of the animals, especially the monkeys in Manuel Antonio.
