Terrestrial photos from the Costa Rica trip I took in 2001. A higher resolution version in stereo is available on my LiveVideo channel at http://www.livevideo.com/CircaRigeI
If any of you ever are able to get to Costa Rica, here are some recommendations...
Take a butterfly and hummingbird tour... they're gorgeous!
Stay a couple of nights at the Observatory Lodge. All rooms have an entire side of glass, facing Costa Rica's most active volcano, Mount Arenal.

Take a canopy tour! There's nothing like sightseeing while repelling between treetops! The best one is at Rincon De La Vieja. It has 23 platforms and a suspension bridge! Don't worry... you are connected to a stout cable at all times for safety.
Go snorkeling!
They also have some astronomy cruises, for going out to sea at night for nothing better than to admire the stars.
On top of that, the water is safe to drink, and electricity is green... Costa Rica uses hydroelectric and geothermal sources for 100% of their electricity. You also don't have many of the other worries you may experience in other Central American countries. I remember being dragged off the street in Mexico by vendors trying to sell me things. None of that in Costa Rica. In fact, the only complaint I have is the condition of the roads... watch out for potholes!
