Subject: Re: Need some travel advice regarding costa rica Posted on: Tue, 14 Nov 2006 15:38:21 +0000 (UTC)

Hi G&G;

Thanks for the reply. I would like to know is it safe to rent a car to
drive from san jose to volcano area or can i get a tourist vehicle that
can take me to the volcano region. Also I read about the canopy tour on
internet. How far is the forest region from san jose and which is best
means of transportation to get there? Could you please suggest me the
name of B&B in san jose?

Hope to hear from you soon;
Shanky
