Itinerary from our Costa Rica trip in Aug. We used a small privately owned and locally run tour company specializing in private family vacations called Tico Tom Tours(http://www.Ticotomtours.com). The folks were really nice and friendly. They gifted each of us a custom trip journal. When we left CR, it felt as if we were leaving family behind. I will write a more detailed travelogue in the next few days, but in brief, our trip was adventure filled, and wonderful. Our kids had an amazing time with various adventures. We definately recommend Tico Tom Tours for your trip to CR.
Day 1: Arrive in Alajuela. Travel north via private car to Arenal Volcano. Stay in Arenal
Day 2: Ziplining in Arenal. Other activities included hiking and Lunch at La Fortuna Falls. Dinner and soaking at Tabacon Hotsprings. Amazing experience.

Hi, I'm heading to CR in Feb 2009 .
Like to visit Corcovado but I heard it's realy expensive.My friend, low budget, is comming with me sow i need to find a solution.
Any tips.
Corcovado is fairly south and there are very limited places to stay/hotels in the area, which makes it quite expensive. Try taking public transport to go to the area and look into renting room in an inn (instead of hotel).
