Puerto Quepos
Microclimates characterize Costa Rica, but in a nation of verdant rain forest, the region around Quepos, on Coronado Bay is one of the richest and most bio-diverse places on earth. Its unspoiled natural beauty has secretly drawn visitors for decades and a cottage tourism industry has arisen to accommodate city-dwellers seeking a glimpse of the planet's vanishing wilds.
Attractions
Try to visit the Mangroves, rainforest and Manuel Antonio National Park where you can see howler monkeys, two and three toed sloths, crocodiles and iguanas.
Currency
The official currency of Costa Rica is the colon (CRC). Credit cards are accepted in many places, but traveler's checks in U.S. currency are even more widely accepted and are usually a good choice.
