    We aren't into night club and bars. (Early bird gets the worm...?!) But there's still a lot to do at night. Many activities are either plan for or better at nightime.

    A different perspective on wildlife with a Night Walk, a volcano firework, a dip in a hotspring for example... Or for the tourists of the north, a glance at the southen cross in a perfect sky...

    There are many Discoteques, as well as nightclubs and bars, throughout Costa Rica. You can relax at the bar or have fun and dance. It's a good place to learn how to dance Latino, if you don't already know. It's a lot of fun. Note to always check out a place before you go, some are a bit shady.

    Nothing normally.

    La Tiquicia, near San Jose, is a real awsome place to spend a night. Here you can eat some great Costa Rican food and watch a traditional dance show overlooking the entire city of San Jose. The dancing is preformed by some local dance students and it is really an excellent experience to go to. I really reccmoned going here to spend a nice night. For more photos see my travelogue.

    Casaual but shorts and tee-shirts are not reccomended.

    Leave your patio light on all night and see what kind of bugs you can attract during the night.
    There are all kinds of moths and beetles that will come to check it out.
    That is how we got to see this beetle in the picture.

    Marisombra: Late night in Manuel Antonio.

  • Marisombra is right on the beach at Manuel Antonio. It's great. Buy a beer, walk around on the beach. Sit there and people watch if you like. Late night on Fridays and Saturdays, its where the getdown is. Locals come there on the weekends. Doesn't matter what you wear.

    Casual would be an overstatement.

    This is the focal point at night at the hotel.
    each night there is a different show.
    Every one gets involved.

    The hotel also has a small casino.

    The bar is open and so is the grill food court, which is open all day long, serving fruits of all kinds and pizza,drinks, and hamburgers and hotdogs.

    Remember this is all you can eat/drink all day.

    Casual dress, unless you want to stand out.
    Dress around costa rica is mostly casual ..

    If you'd like to go out in San José you should go to San Pedro, the Student neighboorhood. Bars and dance places on every corner and 'relatively' cheap drinks and food.

    The most Ticos(Costa Ricans) find our techno, R&B, ... parties unbelievebly borring. They always said me 'what can you dance on that kind of music? Just shaking with you had!' They prefer dancing salsa, merengue and cumbia when going out or they go to one of the many caraoke bars.

    if you like more cinema the two malls in San Pedro each play all the most recent movies (Mall San Pedro wich is the biggest and the Outlet Mall).

    If you rather like some culture you should know that the performances, concerts, dramas, ... in the national theatre are cheap (look under must see--> national theatre).
