Puentes Colgantes, La Fortuna, Costa Rica


The hanging bridges outside La Fortuna is one of the better attractions in the area; a 3 km trail through the forest with a lot of bridges where one can appreciate the view and sometimes see the Arenal Volcano. Unlike the horrible Tabacon resort, you're not likely to run into many other tourists here.

La Antigua, Tres Rios, Costa Rica



Good and reasonably priced food here, highly recommended for a late lunch, it's a couple of blocks east of the municipalidad de Tres Rios. And flowers on the urinal! Very upper class indeed.

Toilet Candy

This tempting piece of culinary art was purchased in La Fortuna, Costa Rica, and cost us 150 colones. The sweets in the bowl are supposed to look like fish.

Bar rest. La Teja, Cartago, Costa Rica



Somewhere far, far up in the mountains of Cartago, La Teja is an oasis for the lost and thirsty traveller. The lack of lightbulbs at the WC gives it an interesting touch of avantgarde design.

Doña Chila



Doña Chila, located somewhere along the road between San José and Ciudad Quesada, offers typical costarican food and group urinals. A bonus pic below: Christmas decorations the Doña Chila way.

Bico's Bar, Puriscal, Costa Rica



A splendid Chinchorro in the centre of Puriscal, the town with the best Chicharrones in the universe. IWCRP gives Bico's five stars for the innovative concept of storing cleaning utensils on the urinal.

Jardin Cervecero, Puntarenas, Costa Rica




Tasty fish here, at Jardin Cervecero on the paseo de los turistas in Puntarenas. Below, a bonus picture from the same street, justified by the sign up in the palm tree.
