Walking Tour Of San José, Costa Rica

Check out this post for a video podcast tour of downtown Costa Rica.

Nicoya Peninsula

A drive from San José down to Puntarenas and take the fery to the Nicoya Peninsula. This podcast features my recommended stops in the Nicoya Peninsula.

Here we are driving on to the ferry in Puntarenas.

The Costa Rica Four Seasons Hotel

Nice view from one of the suites at the Four Seasons located in the Papagayo peninsula in the Guancaste province:

Here is an article from the USA today about ex-AOL CEO Steve Case and his adventures in Costa Rica.

I hope you had a great holiday season and I’d like to wish everyone a great 2008! It’s hard to beleive that Costa Rica Talk Radio has been podcasting now for one year. Time flies when you’re having fun.

I would like to kick off 2008 with a video podcast about driving in Costa Rica. My last audio podcast covered renting and driving a car in Costa Rica but a picture is worth a thousand words (or something like that). So this video podcast will take you on a ride with me behind the wheel.

We’ll make our way from downtown San José through the Sabana and down to Escazú via the old Escazú road. I also left a minute or so at the end to take you on a ride near Mal País in the Puntarenas Province so you can get a feel of navigating through the pot holes. If you get motion sickness-watch at your own risk!
