stacy davison is one of the million-plus torists who chose to visit Costa Rica this year."We wanted to explore a countr'oo that was lagely unspoiled by development. And boy, did we get what we were looking for! We saw beautiful beaches, lush rainforest, and exotic wildife." stacy is especially enthusiastic about a wildlife refuge she and her husband visited during their trip. "Getting there took four hours by bus along an upaved road. Buy it was so beautiful that it was worth it. We hiked the trails and took a tour through the rainforest canopy Our guide showed us how to poke a stick into a termite nest to get a snack (They have a nutty flavore! ), and how to use live leaf-cutter ants to create stitches for a cut. It was quite an amazing experience!" Stacy also enjoyed knowing that the money she was spending on her vacation was being used in enviromentally responsible ways. She stayed in locally-own, enviromeally- friendly hotels that grow their own fruits and vegetable, and use renewable sources of energy such as wind and solar power.
