Rural Costa Rica Has Many Faces, What Most Tourist Don't See

Rural Costa Rica has many faces.   The rural beauty of the  Costa Rica’s countryside is hard to explain.  The mountains and the valleys, the rivers and the streams.  From the plains of Guanacaste to the vast primary rain forest of the Osa Peninsula.  Each place is different and each place has its own distinct personality.  One has to experience it for oneself.  It is a part of Costa Rica that few tourist experience.

I would like to share with you some of the faces of Rural Costa Rica, where life is simple and the pace is slow and easy.  Where people live to be a ripe old
