Funny Facts.. If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days, you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee. The strongest muscle in proportion to its size in the human body is the tongue. Every time you lick a stamp, you're consuming 1/10 of a calorie. The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet. Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour. A person cannot taste food unless it is mixed with saliva. For example, if strong-tasting substance like salt is placed on a dry tongue, the taste buds will not be able to taste it. As soon as a drop of saliva is added and the salt is dissolved, however, a definite taste sensation results. This is true for all foods. Try it! The average person falls asleep in seven minutes. Your stomach has to produce a new layer of mucus every two weeks otherwise it will digest itself Humans are the only primates that don't have pigment in the palms of their hands.

Claritas Beach Grill & Hotel 2643-2615 We all have different tastes, if your requirement is staying in 5 Star nice and fluffy bed hotel... Well, Do not come to Clarita's, However, if you accept a laid back atmosphere (Except for Thursday $1 beer nights and Kareoke night!! LOL) then this place is a must do, the rooms are truly clean.. REALLY, they are basic but as I said are clean , the air conditioning will freeze you out! There is a fridge, so feel free to run to the mercado for whatever. The pool isclean and a ball to hang out in. Go with the flow, meet cool people, talk with Dave (manager), talk with the cleaning girls, the bar girls, the couples, the singles, the security guys (must know espanol!), everyone is friendly...as many say the security is there 24/7...Every staff member works hard to keep the place clean and fun. I was there with 2 friends who were there with me before and 2 guys (friends of a friend), the 2 new guys cannot wait to return to Clarita's and they stayed at 2 other "highly rated" hotels during their travel in CR..their thought? Only Clarita's for future trips to Jaco. Same for me......and hope to be there again in June.. “Upstairs room at the end of the hall probably best choice.

Tuanis Apart Hotel 2643-2094-Jaco Centro Loved everything about Tuanis ... This hotel was perfect, just 50 meters from the beach, quiet and very clean.. Those 3 days we spent at Rick's place were absolutely the best. Tuanis is just so clean, safe and friendly. The owners Ricky and Laura are incredible host and so helpful with any questions or problems you may have. So great to be able to park our rental cars inside the hotel grounds and not worry about them. The beach was visible from our balcony and we enjoyed watching everyone coming and going up and down the street. The Italian restaurant across from Tuanis was one of the best meals we had in Costa Rica and the ambiance there and at Tuanis was wonderful. The rooms are decorated so interesting...along the lines of "designer" hotels now popular in big American cities. We were a group of 2 mothers, 3 adult daughters and one extra friend. >> All the rooms at Tuanis were different and all good. Some had kitchens and some didn't. I would totally recommend this hotel, and would love to come back again!

Waterfall and
Horseback Riding
This was a FANTASTIC experience. This is a business that values its customers and will work with you to make your experience a great one. Horseback riding is perhaps one of the best ways to discover the wonders of the rainforest.
you arrive they will prepare everybody to depart on your journey, to the waterfalls and swimming pools, if you are lucky along the way you will have the opportunity to spot some great wild life such as: Tucans, Scarlet Macaws, White Face Monkeys.
They have some of the nicest horses and the best views in the area, come and discover nature at its best, all this at the private exclusive 80-acre property of Canopy Los Sue単os.
Upon arrival to the swimming area they will set up some fresh tropical fruits and water, and you will have some time to hang out and enjoy the waterfalls and natural slide. The way back is gorgeous.. really nice guides..
The tour starts at the beautiful Herradura base just 10 minutes from Jaco Beach and Los Suenos area, once

Funny Facts.. Thirty-five percent of the people who use personal ads for dating are already married. It's possible to lead a cow upstairs...but not downstairs. Dogs have four toes on their hind feet, and five on their front feet. The ant can lift 50 times its own weight, can pull 30 times its own weight and always falls over on its right side when intoxicated. A cockroach will live nine days without it's head, before it starves to death. Butterflies taste with their feet. Elephants are the only mamals that can't jump. Starfish don't have brains. Polar bears are left handed. A duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why. An ostrich's eye is bigger that it's brain. The longest recorded flight of a chicken is thirteen seconds. The fingerprints of koala bears are virtually indistinguishable from those of humans, so much so that they could be confused at a crime scene.

MONO VERDE I recently stopped for lunch at the new Mono Verde bar and grill in centro Jaco. What a surprise! It's a Miami style bistro with unique daily specials and a great martini style bar, specializing in unique flavored magaritas. I enjoyed a luncheon special of beef over noodles and vegitables and a great frosty homemade lemonade. The sidewalk cafe is great for people watching in the middle of Jaco. I can't wait to go back for dinner and listen to their DJ and live Mariachi music, I'm going to check out the large screen TVs' for NFL football. Bring on more unique gormet specials!

Ice Cream
Heladeria “El Barco” Taste a tradition, is the real thing. All artisanal made, not from a can! They feel that the majority of ice cream bought today in your local supermarket has lost that traditional farmhouse taste - So They thought we'd do something about it! Heladeria el Barco, believe ice cream should be a genuine treat. Using traditional manufacturing they have developed recipes and flavours to bring back the true experience of farmhouse dairy ice cream. They have a selection of 34 flavours of ice cream and refreshing fruit ice - cream, and other invention, that Roberto (owner) can make. Howeverthis figure grows at an almost daily rate! Quality and freshness are priorities , Just amazing t find this, as they make the ice cream in small batches using fresh full cream milk, blended with cream, sugar and the finest ingredients to make the best flavour. Talking about dedication, this is the “Créme de la glace”... Enjoy!

Hotel Poseidon & Restaurante
Nice atmosphere and great food. As a local restaurant of Jaco, this is a true gem... We had friends from the states here in Jaco and decided to go to the Hotel Poseidon Hotel/Restaurant to celebrate our dauther Anniversary.. The food was outstanding. We had Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Filet Mignon and Chicken. The food was cooked to perfection. Our friends were very impressed with the food and presentation. The service was terrific too.... The chef recommended the tuna and it did not disappoint. I highly recommend staying at this hotel and eating the food in the restaurant. I will be staying and eating here in all my future trips to jaco.

Land of the Guacamayas
Blessing from above Incas believed that seeing them was a blessing, and a true honor. Not many people or country could enjoy co-living with this colorful bird. Indigenous tribes and people in Costa Rica still think that they are like receiving a lucky charm, and a token of good fortune from above. Macaws can live up to 30-40 years and some are known to be as old as 80. Macaws are not sexually dimorphic, meaning that there are no obvious differences between the male and female, differences in morphology, size, ornamentation and behavior.
e saw huge crocodiles really close to the boat and more tropical birds on this river tour than anywhere else. This made the day very exciting. We loved it!
W
We saw a lot of great wildlife, iguanas, egrets, herons, ibis, crabs, swallows, both golden headed and crested caracaras, tropical kingbirds, hawks, mot mots, Brahma cattle, and most importantly several huge crocodiles. At one point in the tour our boat driver got out of the boat to lure a big croc close to the boat, and we were able to get great photos. Just amazing.. The tour guide knew every bird and had many interesting facts on most of them.He called a couple of birds in without a birdcall but rather simply using his voice. So simple... to do so.. This tour was well worth the price. Crocodile River Tour info@crocodiletour.com www.crocodiletour.com PH 2637.0795 CEL 8874.7641

We met up with Neil and his crew. They were knowledgable and friendly. I am an experience kayaker and my girl friend a novice. They met both of our expectations. We set out from Playa Agujas to a little cove where we walked over to another beach for snorkeling. Our guides pointed out birds along the way.
Once we started snorkeling they pointed out fish and the guides would dive and come up with puffer fish and sea stars for us to hold and and touch. After this we got to eat fresh fruit and fresh drinks.. On the way back we stopped by another beach and a waterfall to “cool off” so beautifull!! Neil was friendly and very helpfull... I couldn't have asked for more. A must do in the area. kayakjaco@gmail.com Office:(506) 2643-1233 www.kayakjaco.com

Vista Los SueĂąos Canopy Tour
Hard to get bored at this place. Take a break and get online!! The adventure starts on a 15 minute ride aboard in a specially designed 40 passenger tractor to the top of the mountain Descending via a series of zip lines, 15 platforms and 14 cables that is crazy, distance of 3.5 kilometers‌..including the longest cable in the area of 2400 ft! The Vista people have a photogragher who will take good quality photos of you while you are zip lining. They also provided fresh fruit and cold water at the end of the trek. No wonder why the are first in the Trip advisor. Friendly and fun staff are very safety conscious and guide you through the zip lines and are there to help you on the platforms on the massive trees. They have designed the lines very well to protect these trees. This place is very well run but a few of the guests in our group were a little intimidated at times. By the end though everyone I saw at the base was smiling, laughing
76
and very excited about the experience. The course is physically demanding at times. The youngest child I saw on the course was about 10 years old but she was having a lot of fun. My daughters were experienced in zip lining before they went to Vista. They felt very confident at the start and found certain sections quite challenging, they were very thrilled by their rides. Adrenaline Rush I highly recommend this place. Very green and sustainable activity. Very exciting and if you buy the $20.00 photo disk you will have lots of great photos to remember your experience. TIP> Its better to wear running shoes instead of sandles here. They can tape them to secure them on, but its better to have your feet fully protected.

We for Tomorow Sustainabla Tourism in Practice, by Costa Rica Dreams. Angling, one great pastimes, at Los Sueños, apply as a rewarding rule, the practice the art of “catch and release.” When done properly, it does no harm to the fisherman's quarry, and allow substantiality in fishing waters Responsible Anglers handle fish that are to be released with care. Fish are covered in a mucosal film that protects them from parasites and bacteria. Once caught and brought aboard, handling the fish with a wet glove or towel will minimize the amount of protective film that is lost. Fish should not be allowed to flop around or make contact with any surfaces inside the boat. If possible, keep all fish that are to be released in the water while removing the hook and avoid at all costs handling the gills and soft underbelly. All responsible anglers should practice proper catch and release techniques. Not only do these techniques help protect fish stocks, but they also present a great opportunity to teach younger anglers stewardship of their natural environment, and watermanship. Employing good practices it allows both the fish and the fisherman to come away and make a difference. Release for tomorow. CR dreams: 2637 8516
