After two nights in San José we took a bus up to Monteverde. This small town on the edge of the rainforest makes a good base for sampling a variety of tourist attractions.
We went to the frog habitat
and the insect museum
but the best show in town was at Amigos bar, where we watched Costa Rica win their World Cup game against Greece on the big screen (if you root for both sides, you can’t lose).
The only problem with Monteverde is that it is… touristy. But I guess you can’t have it both ways. And the food is great!
