Stay away from the touristy areas IMO, check out Samara, not near as touristy little beach town.
Dont send people there shhhhhh, but if you do visit wave at the tall white Canadian drinking beer for breakfast....well anytime really, chances are it's me sometime this April.
If your looking for a place to buy call samara realty down town and ask for sherry gerlach, she will set cha up. No you won't get a better deal lol, but say hi.
This planet is getting smaller for sure. Such a great spot but heading north on the back road there is lots of undeveloped area. This is for sure my favourite area. Down on the southern tip of golfito I find it very quite but your really out there lol, lots of jungle and to close to narcos fueling spots in my mind.... yikes never seen but just have that "I'm really out here alone white boy"Cool little town for sure, I can see the place getting busier for sure over the years and based on who I've talked to it already has.
If you are a dirt biker check out Costa Rica Unlimited (CRU). I did a 4 day ride with them a couple years ago, was a great trip. Riding was anything from nasty single track to blazing down a paved hwy (which was pretty awesome considering I was on a 2 stoke dirt bike). The terrain you cover is just amazing. The country as a whole is great, we felt safe everywhere we went even with out guides.
