Answer#1: Hi, Never been to Costa Rica, but have been here
in Puerto Rico for 8 months and think that it is a
really nice place.If you do come here, here are
some ideas...If you get chance try to rent a car,
that way you can see the sights on your terms and
not on a set time frame with a group tour. Most
people will know English, especially in the
tourist areas, but trying your hand at speaking
Spanish looks good.If you do rent a car just bear
in mind that driving is a little crazy, just keep
your eyes on all your mirrors and you'll be fine.
Challenging at first, but don't let that put you
off.Places to see.Old San Juan - easily spend a
few hours walking around here. It's a little hilly
so maybe jump on the free trolley bus to El Morro
(the fort) and work your way back down through the
city. Plenty of places to eat and drink for all
budgets. Try Breakfast at La Bombonera (one of the
oldest establishments in the city)El Yunque
(rainforest) plus spend the afternoon at Luquillo
Beach Ponce on the South coast for more Puerto
Rican architectureArecibo Observatory. The James
Bond movie Golden Eye and also the Jodie Foster
movie Contact were filmed there.There is also
this: Las Cabezas de San Juan Nature Reserve
(Tel:787-722-5882). I have not been, but I would
like to (it sounds a cool place to visit). You can
have an escorted tour through the reserve on an
electric trolley, but you have to book in
advance.The Rio camuy caves alsoThere is plenty to
do here. You might even want to consider a side
trip to Vieques or Culebra (as I've heard the
beaches are amazing)Try the local food stands and
just enjoy everything that the island has to
offer.Food wise, everything you can imagine. In
condado area for seafood try Miro's, Ropa Vieja
Grill for Cuban & Puerto Rican. In Old San
Juan try The Parrot Club for Caribbean style or
Tantra's for Indian cuisineAlso check the online
guides frommers.com, roughguide.com and http://visit-the-coqui.com

is also a bioluminescent bay that glows in the
dark when you touch the water & camuy caves.
