I usually bring dollars to CR & exchange at Colonial casino next to the Del Rey. Very easy, no lines, and they offer a fair exchange rate normally close to what the banks offer. Much better than what...

Poas volcano.

Rafting the Rio Pacuare (class 3 & 4 rapids, very scenic).

Research costs, as they might have changed since I did these trips.

Don't worry about it. Things only start to get funky on Good Friday, March 29th. You should be fine.

Hotel La Amistad is offering a 35% discount for CRT members effective thru November. Their deluxe room, normally $60, is thus going for $39. Haven't stayed there in the past, but have 5 nights...
