Communication: in Costa Rica can at times be a bit difficult as international lines sometimes have a habit of going down just when you need them. Costa Rica is flooded with internet cafes throughout the country except for very rural towns allowing you to keep in touch. Please remember that the speed is about 52 kbps as ADSL is only now arriving |

Bikes:
As for biking
in Costa Rica, it's depending upon your level of experience. The
roads are quite dangerous but drivers are quite used to seeing bikes
on the roads. Some of the road conditions around Costa Rica are
excellent while others are not in such good shape. In general....be
careful!
