Seeking input from former Costa Rica travelers.
I decided today I'm going to run off to Costa Rica for appox. 10 days (give or take a few days) in about a week. I poked around r/travel and came up with a very rough idea of what I may do. I was hoping you guys could give me some tips/suggestions on my travel. I'm curious if I'm missing anything which you think I should visit, if there's a better route/timeline, if there's anything you would skip over, etc. Any hostel suggestions or generic tips are also quite welcome. Many thanks in advance.
