Anyone ever been to Costa Rica?

I'm going in August to volunteer at an animal reserve for three weeks. I'll be staying at a nearby resort - small bungalows complete with kitchen, etc.

Any tips or advice?

Don't have sex with the orphaned monkeys like Liver&Onions did.

Yeah, that's it, the sloth sanctuary, not monkey. Is that where you're going?

Two refuges actually...the sloth farm is one of them though!

Re: Anyone ever been to Costa Rica?

Should be another thread re:Costa Rica around here somewhere.

Anyway, spent 15 days backpacking in CR/Nicaragua two summers ago. Had a blast. Some must-dos, IMO: hike to top of the Cerro Chato volcano, then descend into its cone to swim in the lake (one of the most amazing experiences of my life...the hike is a killer); zipline (a ton of options in CR...but aim for the sites that have the most, and tallest, platforms); visit Arenal, an active volcano, and watch it erupt; perhaps spend a day (but no more than that) in San Jose...some incredible architecture and cool street art; take a shit-load of pics and post your best in this thread.

Take the time to talk to the locals. Wonderful people there.

No, no one has ever been to Costa Rica. You will be the first.
