Anyone in the Gulf Of Papagayo region of Costa Rica?
 

I'm heading down there in March for a well-deserved vacation.

Anyone in the area?
I'll be traveling with my 12 year old son, so it'll just be a relaxation trip with no stops at titty bars, hehe. If anyone is in the area and wanting to get together for a little dinner or something, that would be cool.

I'm flying in on the 10th of March and will be there for the week. I'm staying at the Occidental Grand Papagayo.

We're already looking forward to taking one of those zip tours where you go along the zip cord and fly over waterfalls, rain forest, etc.

Anyone been to that area that can recommend places/activities that aren't TOO tourist heavy but will appeal to a 12 year old boy and my inner 12 year old?

I was just there this weekend, you should definitely check out 'Africa Mia' - the new reserve being developed. I'll have pics up later but you can get up close and personal with zebras, giraffes (and have them lick you), etc...

Sounds great. I'll have to look into it. My son is becoming a real nature addict and has been scouring the net for information about the wildlife in the area

Wouldn't be a bad trip for the cr bash hangover weekend :winkwink:

I just booked a Safari Package there. I'm really looking forward to it, sounds like a blast. Thanks for the heads up.
