Im traveling to Costa Rica with a tour group. Adventure life. The package that we have will take us to San Jose on the 4th of oct. then to Totuguero on the 5th, then Sarapaqui on the 7th then to Arenal the 9th back to SJ on th 10th. The Package I have has some real nice activities and tours included but also allows for major free time for independent exploration. I enjoy Trying new food and drink and getting to know the local people. What are the "Must tries" here in Costa Rica. I'm not afraid of the bizzare and do enjoy an adult beverage from time to time |

I suppose guaro would be the most common alcoholic beverage to try, though it is a fairly unremarkable sugarcane derivative and best used as a mixer. Flor de Cana, a Nicaraguan rum widely available in Costa Rica, is quite good, especially the older 12yr/18yr/21yr varieties. Here's a link for some more info on Costa Rica food and drinks. As for activities, there are really too many to count here, but follow this link for a large list of Costa Rica adventure travel opportunties . ------------------ |

Costa Rican food, for the most part, is centered around rice and beans. "Comida typica" is found everywhere - "typical food", and means just that, typical Costa Rican food - casados, gallo pinto, arroz con pollo, platanos, etc. A typical CR plate would be chicken with rice or gallo, a small salad and some fried plantain. Of course, how good it is depends on where the chicken came from and who's cooking it. On the Caribbean coast you can get authentic Jamaican style food - Ron Don seafood coconut soup, Pargo Rojo Caribeña (Caribbean Red Snapper), jerk chicken, etc. And just about everywhere you can get ceviche, which I consider a "must try" - it's a marinated seafood salad. Originates from Peru but it's ubiquitous in Costa Rica. Some of the best ceviche is served up in a little place called "Santa Andrés" behind the Scotia Bank in Limón. |
