As
the Costa Rican tourist board (ICT) describes the Caribbean
Region, "...tropical forests with Afro-Caribbean
flavor. In 1502 Christopher Columbus discovered Costa Rica
arriving for the first time to these lands of the tropical
humid forest...Today this natural charm remains, in
a region characterized by the coexistence of diverse cultures
that have left their print on Costa Rican history: Caucasian's,
Chinese, the Indigenous population and the Afro-Caribbean.
The latter, with their rich coconut flavored culinary traditions,
their rhythm and their language, offering visitors a very
different experience from the rest of Costa Rica's regions."
Christopher
Columbus, of course, would have chosen to stay at a cute
little Lodge on his first night on the Caribbean coast.
We
have rooms everywhere - ask your host for their BEST recommendations
for tomorrow night.
