From Jaco Head northwest on Route 34 go 42.0 km to Orotina, at bridge Turn right and Take the ramp onto Route 27 ( Autopista del Sol) > Then you have two options. We recomend the first one.. Stay on Route 27 >> until Turrucares.Take ramp out , go around and thru tunnel to reach La Garita > (Blue Arrows) on our map.. Turn right to Alajuela > 20 km after at Recope take the Ramp (on the right) to A1 Highway witch lead to Juan Santamaria Airport.. Drive defensively and be aware when two lanes become one, "CEDA" means "Yield". We suggest exchanging at least $5 US dollars into Costa Rican colones for the tolls on the highway. Ask the rental car agent to send you off in the right direction. Buen Viaje!

Claritas Beach Grill & Hotel 2643-2615 Honestly - For my needs, it was perfect. The rooms are basic - nothing fancy but great A/C, large fridge, comfortable bed, decent towels and linen, a safe just big enough for my netbook, no blanket needed as there is a bedspread when the A/C is on, A/C rooms face the ocean with lots of light during the day, the back part of the room is dark, but the only thing there was my closet and the safe. Service was exemplary. The bar/restaurant sits on the sand. Food good, great Pizza, drinks of every description made by serving ladies, sweet and efficient. Every night some kind of music - from Karaoke one night to live music the next, and much to my liking, often packed mostly with locals, rather than mostly tourists. So it was easy to get a real sense of CR and to meet locals. Yes, the music is easily heard in the rooms until it ends at 11pm, and it’s fine. The beach was a soft reddish/gray volcanic sand, easy on the feet, water at bathtub temperatures, the waves intense and not easy to swim but easy to body surf or to walk with feet in the water and to explore the coastline. It would be easy to spend a few days at Clarita's without going anywhere and have a great experience.

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!

SURFING STYLE Because of it’s unique location on the Pacific Coast, it became internationally famous for its waves, both for their consistency and form. Many satisfied surfers have called this location, the “North Shore” of Costa Rica, except our “Pura Vida” attitude adds an ambience not duplicated anywhere else. In addition, our unique “stadium lighting” in front of the hotel, has created a “night surfing culture”, truly turning night into day. Consequently, you’ll find that surfing here is more than just a sport, it is truly, a lifestyle that reflects this hotel motto: Warm water, cool waves. www.terrazadelpacifico.com

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! If you're looking for somewhere to go with a large group of people then Daiquiri's is brilliant, I've been here for a few birthdays and a good night is always had by all. They are open during the day, and offer great deals and discount, just ask.. There's a very decent amount of seating in here considering the place itself isn't that big. The food is really good too. Good Chef, good energy, Jeff.. The Chef! The staff are really helpful here too. On one occasion we snuck a cake in for them to hide behind the bar and when we gave them the signal they brought it out, candles lit and everything, to a chorus of happy birthdays and a tearful birthday girl. That's the sort of extra touch that'll really endear a place to me and I'm very happy to recommend Daiquiri's as a result.

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!

Straight UP
Sportfishing Adventure
AXR Actions Tour/ RTV
"Straight Up" It's says it all A friend in Jaco told be to try Bill's Straight Up Sport fishing Adventures. Best decision we made this trip, (I've been to Costa Rica 6 times before). Bill offered good pricing and the value was clear upfront...it included everything...no extra fees and even included lunch and drinks. They just made new addition to the fleet, air conditionned and all the confort needed when out there. The captain and deckhand worked harder than any other crew I've seen. They worked the lures, changed the baits and kept us entertained all while watching for marlin in the waters. It worked. We pulled in a 125lb striped marlin and had several other hook ups where we could have caught a few more even. Bill was a trusting soul as well. We forgot our cash. He put us on the boat and got us fishing and told us not to worry about the fee until we got back. We promptly paid him, but any other outfit would have told us to pound sand. Bill even gave my son a t-shirt souvenir =). They make the extra miles for your deep fishing, Great Captains, great crew.. Great fishing!

Vista Los SueĂąos Canopy Tour
Hard to get bored at this place. Take a break and get online!! while we were staying at Jaco when we took a break from surfing. 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 and very ex-
cited 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.

Pura Vida Princess
The feeling of being weightless, of floating around almost like flying, the deep connection with mother nature as you are submerged in its womb. These are only a few of the new sensations that you will experience on your first dive in the ocean. 70% of our planet is water, yet barely 5% of its oceans have been explored. Scuba diving is the way to experience it and get in touch with its inhabitants. You will enter a new environment like you have never seen before, a place of marvel that you will learn to love and to protect. By becoming a Scuba Diver you can help raise awareness in people and spread the word on conservation amongst your friends. Just Dive into it.
You can't beat the Pura Vida Princess cruise. first of all, you are boating around the Pacific Coast, which alone is beautiful. add in a spacious boat, an amazing crew and some of the best food you will have in Costa Rica and you have the experience on plate. It was perfect from begining to end. we went on the day trip, which left around 10AM. we got picked up outside the hotel. there where aout 15 other people on the boat that ranged in age from young to older, but everyone was open and great to chat with. The staff was awsome and gave us much of the history of the island as we sailed along. we stopped at some great swim spots as well but just laying on the boat is enough too if you are not up from the swim.
Herradura Divers work to bring this awareness to our students and friends. This is the finest scuba diving education available which will help them to become safe Divers and guardians of the oceans.
The homestyle cooking was so refreshing and delicious. wonderful. I would highly reccomend this trip. for the cost, it can't be beat!

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.

Surf News 7 Wins Costa Rica became the Central American Champion for the 7th time. Of the six possible individual golds, Costa Rica took four home and 12 of the 19 medals per categories (gold, silver, bronze). In the wave known as "the wave machine" in Dárcena beach Champerico, Retalhuleu, Guatemala, the team imposed its leadership, thanks to the work of the group . Furthermore, of the 19 Ticos in Guatemala, 12 went to the finals of the event to the podium, achieving an individual medal and collecting vital points that made Costa Rica meet its goal number one in Guatemala that was the gold medal as a team.
Lisbeth x4 The Costa Rican Surf team makes history, and one of them Lisbeth Vindas is at the top of the list. Getting the champion tittle for the forth time, at 31 year hold, that makes her the athlete with the highest number of individual titles in the championship, since 2006. “Competing to get the title was my goal, and it took me a lot of work. I trained hard for this. I’m very happy of the efforts and the dedication given to be the champion in Guatemala” Says Vindas. “ I would not have achieved this, without the faith that I have in God, and the forever & endless support of my son Yullian, my husband Diego Naranjo, and my Trainer Donald Vega”.

My goal is to reach all Costa Rican children through education programs. Lifeguard is the topic for this program that is called “Looking after the next generation” comments Marvin Pérez Pérez, lifeguard at Jaco beach. Since ocean activities are very important in Jaco beach, my goal is to teach young children over the importance of water safety and all necessary procedures. Topics learned are rip currents, beach markings, surf safety among others .
We are doing this through educational campaigns with children and we are giving them the badge of “Junior Lifeguard”, which also seeks to promote the culture for rescuing in this country. It is not only my responsibility to help with this issue in jaco area but also in the areas of San Jose by implementing campaigns elsewhere to educate the young ones. To join in, help or enroll please call us. This is Making a difference in Water Safety. Pura Vida. Contact : 8507-1125 Marvin Pérez Pérez Lifeguard of the Municipality of Garabito

the
heart of aYo u n g
Words by Derek Boccara Lanfray / Info Jaco Interview
The promise of tomorrow and the hope of dreams coming true is a reminder of the childhood that is still a part of you. Two decades ago, there were no boards shaped for groms. Instead, a young one would receive a hand-me-down that looked more like a rhino-chaser next to their diminutive stature than a shortboard. Not to mention, kids weren’t hucking reverse 360’s at the end of every ride 20 years ago either. There were also no iPhones, Instagram or Facebook, but things change—fast.
It’s a different day and young blooded surfer like, Denis Picado, Jean Carlos, or Darshan Antequera are shredding on equipment customized and or chosen for his size and high performance surfing. Respectful of the new generations coming, son’s of great name of surfing, the legacy is coming, and the heritage is strong within those young surfer. As a Alvaro Solano says when coaching his son, having him under “our wings”, teaching them, and helping them, it’s about the best things in life.
Surfer · Jean Carlos Mendoza Photo · Rosie Kenworthy
Legacy of strong value
Darshan Antequera Many people will recognize Darshan Antequera as a natural surfer, despite his young age of only 9 years. You realize that for some young surfers learning is often hard and demanding even though it appears to be like second nature to him. How he learns, moves, how he absorbs waves and the lessons they bring with them. Even if you help, or somehow coach
this young one, the rest is on his side. Dashan has already taken on hard waves and been taught lessons, marked by the many cuts and bruises over his body. But, he recovers so fast. We start to understand that we are more afraid for him when he gets the pounding than he himself. He has strong values and the courage of a fighting soul.

Surfer · Dennis Picado Photo · Wendy Solano
In the Steps of a Giant
Dennis Picado Solano “titi” Denis Picado is without question one of the most well-rounded surfers of the next generation. With a deep repertoire ranging from technical barrel-riding skills to an array of powerful turns, Denis’ distinct ap-
proach to riding waves sets him apart as a top Costa Rican standout. Having Alvaro Solano as his father and major roll model surely provided him with the skills needed to be one of Costa Rica’s best surfers.
Promise of Pavones
Jean Carlos Mendoza Raised between waves on the sea, the obvious strength of Jean Carlos Mendoza’s upbringing amongst the Buruca natives in Pavones is one to be admired. Born and raised in this small oceanfront community by pioneers of the sport, the Mendoza family has already made a name for itself in big wave surfing. Jean Carlos’ talents don’t end there. In the
past year alone, Jean Carlos has created a big presence for himself in the sport by showcasing his unique surfing techniques. He is quickly proving that he is a worthy ambassador of the sport in many respects. It’s refreshing to see that his love for surfing is so strong. The harder he works at continual improvement, the more he finds that surfing is taking over his life. Jean Carlos is a great soul.
