temporada baja ha comenzado.

Para quienes lo hemos vivido, ya sabemos que nos esperan unos meses lentos de turismo, acompaĂąados por mucha lluvia.

Para quienes es la primera vez: Bienvenidos a la estaciĂłn verde.

Gay therapist Experienced & certified • Deep tissue • Swedish • Shiatsu • Thai • Therapeutic relief...

Ahora es tiempo de descansar, leer, ir al gym, mirar televisiĂłn y aprovechar las maĂąanas para pasear por la playita. Disfrutar las tardes y las noches en las actividades gays que se estĂĄn organizando en El Barba Roja, Salsipuedes, Las Terrazas de Rafael, y El Liquid Lounge.

$FMMQIPOF

Es tiempo tambiĂŠn para prepararse, valorar errores, faltas y necesidades. Unos podrĂ­amos comenzar por ir al gimnasio o practicar algĂşn deporte, otros deberĂ­an proponerse y estudiar inglĂŠs o computaciĂłn.

Espero que a todos les haya ido bien en la temporada alta tanto econĂłmicamente como a nivel de vivencia y aprendizaje. Cada vez que termina un verano, debemos balancear y hacer todo lo que se necesite para que la prĂłxima temporada sea mejor.

Es muy importante que en esta temporada baja apoyemos las actividades gays que se ofrecen. Hay espacios nuevos que, para sobrevivir necesitan la asistencia de los que vivimos aquĂ­ y pasar la informaciĂłn a cuanto turista conozcamos. Esto va a dar como resultado una mejor temporada alta.

* Playita is the name given by locals to one of the beaches in Manuel Antonio which attracts a high concentration of gay and lesbians from Costa Rica and visitors from all over the world. This beach is accessible just two hours before and after high tide.

Gays in the Rain At By: Jose Chaves & Don Willems

forget to firm up those BUNS.

this time of year, it rains frequently in Quepos and Manuel Antonio. Outdoor activities can be somewhat limited. Here are some suggestions for you.

If you are not a gym rat, but still want to work those glutes, then why not dance the night away at Liquid Lounge. This dance club is currently the only gay-owned bar in the area.

Open daily 8pm-2am, closed on Mondays.

Take a hike in Manuel Antonio National Park. Even if it a bit rainy, the beauty of this park is quite impressive and is well worth some exploration. The park is open daily, Tuesday thru Sunday, 7am-4pm, closed on Mondays. Estelle Mansuelle (her ad in this magazine) is an excellent guide with a good telescope. She will pick you up at your hotel, and bring you into Wild Costa Rica.

Every Sunday, Barba Roja hosts the G Dance, 4pm-8pm. The bar hosts this fantastic sunset experience. Rain or Shine, we get together to hear your favorite music and have a special “cocktail of the day”.

Every Monday, Salsipuedes hosts the G Lounge. A Night for Friends…Starting at 5pm, Salsipuedes serves up a specially created Monday Menu. And, from 9pm until 12am, join us for cocktails and entertainment. View your favorite stars in concert, watch videos, see a musical, and laugh with your friends.

Feeling Adventurous?

Gaytours offers the best experience that you can enjoy during this season, White Water Rafting, ATV four tracking, morning Sailboat Cruise or Damas Island Mangrove. Check the Gaytours schedule for available times and rates.

Downpour outside?

Then move indoors. Workout is one option. Take a taxi to Mucho Musculo Gym, located just down the last hill before entering Quepos. The gym charges a modest fee of $5 and in open Monday thru Friday, 6am-9pm. Saturdays and Sundays the gym is open 7am-3pm. Work those biceps, crunch those abs, and by all means, don’t

Every Thursday, Rafael’s Terrace hosts G & Friends Dinner. Open 4pm.

Dinner is served at 7pm. Dine with friends from different parts of the world.… And every Saturday, Rafael invites you to have a cocktail watching sunset 4pm-7pm.

And what is our favorite indoor activity…

We’ll just leave that to your imaginations.
