So there you
are: vacationing
in Costa Rica --
ONE of, if not
THE most
bio-diverse
location on
Earth and home
to panoramic
beaches,
rainforests and
waterfalls, not
to mention a
seemingly
endless variety
of flora and
fauna and you're
looking for
things to do in
Costa Rica that
are FREE?
Sure thing!
Excluding the
obvious free
activities like
hiking, walking
on the beach and
sunbathing,
there ARE free
things to do in
Costa Rica. It
depends on where
you go and at
what time of the
year and above
all HOW you want
to spend your
time. Having
established
that, here are
some free things
to do in Costa
Rica.
I. Festivals
Let it not be
said that in
Costa Rica the
locals don't
know how to
party! Every
month during the
year there is at
least one
festival being
held and like
all great
festivals they
are FREE! Within
the context of
the festival
you're going to
have to pay for
food and drink -
but the music,
dancing and
fireworks that
are invariably a
big part of
every festival
in Costa Rica is
free-of-charge.
And as we all
know -- FREE is
a good thing.
Here are some
noteworthy free
festivals held
throughout the
year. Take your
pick and
schedule your
vacation
accordingly:
