My friend and I will be staying at the Hilton DoubleTree Resort in Puntarenas from August 13-18th. We are looking to find an affordable tour that will provide transportation to and from our hotel. We are most interested in canopy tours, volcano tours, hot springs, scuba diving, and possibly a Tortuga Island tour. Since I have never traveled to Costa Rica before I am looking for the best experience and the best price as well. If any experienced travelers have any suggestions or tips, it would be greatly appreciated!

What type of beach is it? What types of activities occur along the coast? (waves, wildlife, etc) How did the coast form (primary or secondary coast?)

I am going to Puntarenas, Costa Rica for the 2009-2010 school year with USAC. Is anyone familiar with USAC? Or Puntarenas? Any pointers or suggestions? Thank you!

I am planning a 5 day trip to Costa Rica in MAy. We are looking at flying to San Jose, then going to Liberia and taking day trips from there. Any suggestions? Also any hints on car rental or other travel advice? my friend and I have never been to Costa Rica, though we do speak Spanish so the language shouldn't be a problem. Libereria is just an idea as a "home base" we are also looking at doing a whirl wind tour. We would like to see a volcano, tour a national park, a beach and see what else we can discover. We will have at least 4 full days to explore. Thanks for the information!
