Botanically speaking, there are several places that I have visited and enjoyed. The first is the Lankester Botanical Gardens outside of Cartago. Another is the Arenal Botanical Gardens along the north side of Lake Arenal. This is about a days journey NW from San Jose and will take you past the Arenal Volcano (don't miss a stop at the Tabacon Resort, located at the foot of the volcano, where you can spend the day in pools fed by the geothermal springs!). There is also the Wilson Botanical Gardens, which is associated with the Las Cruces Biological Station and located in the southeastern portion of the country, not far from the Pacific port of Golfito. Costa Rica is a wonderful place! You'll love it. -- Don Martinson +More Milwaukee, Wisconsin Mailto:llmen@execpc.com
