1. Culture Vultures
The tiny hamlet of Jaco is located in the Pacific Coast province of Puntarenas, Costa Rica. It’s the ultimate hideaway for sun seekers and active travelers, with cinnamon-hued volcanic-sand beaches, lush green rain forest and verdant mountains. Surfers flock here from around the world, but families, and honeymooners also find much to love, thanks to the multitude of beaches, outdoor activities, dining, shopping and nightlife.
2. Shopoholics
Unique, hand picked gifts and art. Supporting many local Costa Rican artists and artisans. From fine art canvases, wood carvings and fine silver jewelry to folk art and hand-made soaps; you'll find a great selection of Costa Rican products (as well as few from other Central American artists). Authentic Boruca Indian masks from Costa Rica and Chorotega Indian Pottery. Beautiful leather bags and local jewelry.
3. Surfing Anyone?
Surfer School lessons are conducted by certified, educated and caring instructors who have dedicated their lives to knowing and appreciating the spots they surf and teach at. They believe that surfing is a rare chance to see a side of life most people never knew existed and like to extend that opportunity to anyone with a desire to learn and get into the sport.
