Puerto Jiménez Travel Forum

Hi, I am sailing from Norway to Australia at the moment, and have to leave my family, and boat somewhere safe for two weeks, can anyone give me an idea if PJ, or indeed anywhere in that area is safe? My children are 11 & 9 yrs old.
Many thanks for any comments/suggestions.

Osa Peninsula advice - Where to go, lodging and adventure tours?

Hi all, We are heading to CR end of May and considering Osa as a place to visit for about 4 -5 days. We are looking for adventurous activities, beautiful beaches, an authentic/rustic experience and moderate prices. My questions to you are:
1 - Which part of Osa (jimenez, drake bay, etc) best accomplishes this? (adventurous activities, beautiful beaches, an authentic/rustic experience and moderate prices)
2 - Is there any suggested lodging that is moderately priced and lends a clean but nature-oriented experience?
3 - What are some of the best activities for two highly curious, eco-loving and adventurous people?

Thanks for offering your help!!

I've heard that there are sicknesses transmitted by mosquitos, and that DEET should be applied continuously -- Is that true, and if so, any other precautions need to be taken? What about poisionous insects?

Traveling to PJ in a few weeks for a 7 days fishing trip. One of the people in my group of 4 has been there, but I'm looking for advice of my own.. We are staying in a privately owned home..

Looking for advice, tips, etc, what to expect, how to handle situations, how secure is the area to forign travelers, medical/food/water tips, etc...

Thanks.
