I recently visited CR for the first time. Since I was traveling alone and had never been to the country before, I didn’t try to go “cheap”. I was able to stay at the lovely Hotel Bougainvillea and take a couple of tours (Arenal and the Arial Tram). The airfare was about the same as any domestic flight in the U.S. The price I would have paid for a U.S. trip (even if I camped in my tent) would have been the same or higher by the time I rented a car. So for many, the cost of a vacation to CR is much more exotic and reasonably priced than in the U.S. and certainly less expensive than Europe.

And, yes, I fell in love with CR and the Ticos! I’m returning in November to take an immersion Spanish class.
