In Heredia, he wants to go to Monte de la Cruz, Bosque de la Hoja and Cerro Dantas.In Caratago we could go to Ujarrás Ruins, Guayabo National Park and Durán Sanatorium. In Guanacaste he said that the better beaches are Sámara and Tamarindo, we could visit Santa Rosa National Park too and the beach where close to this place.

Finally, in Alajuela he recommended go to Arenal Volcano National Park, Río Celeste National Park and do the indigenous Maleku tour.

Then, he talked about the better hotels of each province. He said that the better hotel in the capital is Radisson San José, Finca Rosa Blanca is the better of Heredia, in Cartago Guayabo Lodge, in Puntarenas Hideaway Hotel, in Limón Ocean Hotel and finally in Alajuela, Nayara Hotel.

The second presentation was exposed by Melvin.

First he told us some general information of Costa Rica. One interesting fact for me was that Costa Rica has a 45% of forest. It is very nice to know that our country has more vegetation than buildings.

Then, he talked about the places that we could go in each province. In San José we can go to Central Market. This place was constructed in 1880, it is really old. We can go to National Theater or to Pre Colombian Gold Museum as Kenneth said. He said that the typical food that we could get in Central Market is Gallo Pinto or Casado.

In Heredia are the Fortín, San Francisco Church, INBiopark and Río Limpio Río Sucio. Melvin explained that the Fortín was a military place in the past. And we can eat Tamales.

In Alajuela he recommended to go to Zooave, Poas and Arenal Volcano or go to Estado de Dakota because they do a good Coffee Tour. We can eat Olla de Carne.

In Cartago we could go to Basilica de los Ängeles, Durán Sanatorium, Ujarrás Ruins and Botanic Garden Lankester. We can eat Rice with Palmito, I love this food.

In Guanacaste we could go to Rincón de la Vieja National Park, Conchal and Tamarindo beach and eat Chorreadas.

In Puntarenas he recommended to go to Paseo de los Turistas, Pacific National Park, San Lucas Island and Marino Ballena National Park and eat Ceviche.

Finally, In Limón we can go to Tortuguero, Cahuita beach and Uvita Island and eat Rice and Beans, other delicious food.
