AVIS CAR RENTAL COSTA RICA
Costa Rica is a top-choice for family travel for many reasons not least because the culture is family orientated and Costa Ricans genuinely love kids.
Nosara is located on the Nicoya Peninsula of the Guanacaste Province and is one of the oldest ex-pat communities in Costa Rica. This small village with a population of just over 5,000 is not lacking in amenities, quality lodging and dining, but the residents here are uninterested in glitzy, large-scale resorts.
Turrialba is famous for its active Volcano Turrialba which still spews ash intermittently. The green valley’s fertility is due to its volcanic soil which makes it an ideal agricultural center, and the area has a pleasant climate with temperatures lower than in most of the country with frequent mists.
Costa Rica’s lack of usual address systems may seem quaint as first, but can prove a daunting obstacle to a visitor unfamiliar with the adhoc directions. The local system is based on proximity to landmarks, such as the town church, school, or well-known business. Directions are then given with compass points, blocks or hundreds of meters, and with the defining features of the property.
San Vito is the capital of the Puntarenas Province of Costa Rica about 271 kilometers (168 miles) southeast of San Jose. It is characterized by a rugged terrain of high plateaus 996 meters above sea level in the foothills of the Talamanca Mountain range. This small agricultural community of approximately 15,000 offers an authentic Costa Rican experience away from the crowds of the typical tourist towns in Costa Rica.
