Costa Rica

Today I visited Costa Rica! Now, this sim is designed to promote tourism in RL and it does make a trip to this country seem very appealing. However, the sim is not bloated with all kinds of ugly promotional material and the SL experience is highly rewarding. As nature sims go, this is one the best I've seen; very interactive, very seamless.


Costa rica is a beautiful nature sim complete with a variety of exotic birds, deer, panthers, and some other beasts that you may want to be aware of, for they are certainly aware of you.


Hang gliding is a riot! It's free and fast! Definitely try this out if you have the stomach for it. You can fly anywhere in the SIM for as long as you can remain airborn. It's a great way to see Costa Rica.


White water rafting is an essential part of the tour and the best way to enjoy the scenic beauty of the river valley. You will get wet. It is also the most direct route to the beach. 



Be careful as you leave the boat. The pool is closed and some very menacing alligators have taken over.

There is a surf shop at the beach so you can change out of those wet things and do beachy things such as swim, hire a Jetski, surf, or work on your tan. Make sure to visit the volcano and the excellent shops dangerously close to it. There's a lot more to see here but I'll have to be brief. I'm packing my bags tonight. 

I will be actually in RL Costa Rica next week so if you happen to be there as well, keep an eye out for me and say hi!

Enjoy,
