- La Fortuna & Lake Arenal & Pacuare River & San Jose
- Currency: Costa Rican colón (USD is widely accepted, but you will get change back in local currency)
- Eco Conservation walk to see wildlife: sloth, butterflies, native bird species, frogs, lizards
- Festival in La Fortuna – going to watch a bull-fight and some Costa Rican cowboys
- Waking up at 5am to go white-water rafting to San Jose
- Wandering around San Jose alone worried about getting mugged/kid-napped
- Going to random shopping centres in San Jose to get Andy’s phone fixed
- Saying goodbyes to everyone :(
- I’d strongly recommend finding a company that takes you for a day of white-water rafting down the Pacuare River from La Fortuna to San Jose – there are level 1,2,3, and 4 rapids and you get to see some beautiful Costa Rican scenery while rafting
