Another plus is that Costa Rica is only 10 degrees from the equator, making the climate hot mostly all year round.

If you like to fish, well, Costa Rica is a place that you need to cast a line. The amount of fish is horrendous.

So you have your pick of what you would like to do. You basically have no limit to where you can travel, plus you don't have to worry about crime, because the rate is extremely low.

Other vacation package deals are geared towards those who have a plan to get hitched in Costa Rica or even to go on a honeymoon to some of the fabulous beach resorts.

When should you go? There are only 2 seasons in Costa Rica: Dry and rainy. In the months from mid-November through April are your dry months. The remainder of the year is your rainy season. You don't want to go during Easter. That is the period of spring break and though it is during the dry season, you won't be able to get around very easily. The country usually goes in shut down mode during that week. Also check out what the climate is of the area. This is because of the microclimates that exist in Costa Rica.

In Costa Rica, getting around by bus is the slowest manner of transportation but you'll find it to be more scenic and cost less money. You could rent a car to drive but you need valid driver's license plus a passport. Usually you are required to get rental insurance.

If you have the money you could fly domestically and hop to different points in the country and cut your time of travel by road quite a bit. Usually though, flights are full during high season.
