Can you see sloths in Jaco?

Sloths aren’t commonly found in Jaco itself, as the area is dominated by beaches and dry forest rather than the dense rainforest they prefer. However, taking a rainforest tour from Jaco significantly increases your chances of spotting one. For the best sloth sightings, consider a guided tour of Manuel Antonio National Park, located about an hour south of Jaco, or Carara National Park, just 30 minutes north. Both parks provide the lush habitat sloths thrive in, making them ideal spots to see these slow-moving creatures in the wild.

    Are unrefridgerated eggs safe to eat in Costa Rica?

    Yes, unrefrigerated eggs are safe to eat in Costa Rica as long as they are fresh and properly handled. In Costa Rica, eggs are often sold and stored at room temperature because they are not washed after being laid. This leaves the natural protective cuticle (bloom) intact, preventing bacteria from entering the shell. However, once eggs have been refrigerated, they should stay cold to avoid condensation that could promote bacterial growth. If buying unrefrigerated eggs, store them in a cool, dry place and use them within a few weeks for best quality.

    What alcohol to bring back from Costa Rica?

    A great choice is Flor de Caña rum, known for its smoothness and rich flavor—the older the vintage, the smoother taste. Aged varieties like 12-year or 18-year are perfect for sipping. While Flor de Caña originates from Nicaragua, it’s widely enjoyed in Costa Rica. For something local, consider Cacique Guaro, Costa Rica’s national sugarcane liquor, great for cocktails like Chiliguaro. If you prefer craft spirits, some local Costa Rican rums and artisanal liquors are also worth exploring. Whatever you choose, these make for excellent souvenirs or gifts.

    What is in the Blue Zone Breakfast in Costa Rica?

    As you walk down to Jaco Beach and gaze across the Pacific ocean to the shimmering outline of the Nicoya Peninsula, (one of the world's "Blue Zones" - a geographic location where people live longer, healthier lives), you may be inspired to try a healthier breakfast. Start with gallo pinto (a mix of rice and black beans), and add some fresh fruit like papaya, mangos, or guanabana on the side. Serve with homemade corn tortillas and you'll be well on your way to a Costa Rican style, blue zone breakfast. To drink, enjoy agua dulce (hot sugarcane water) or freshly brewed coffee. The focus of your breakfast should be on whole, unprocessed foods, rich in fiber and antioxidants, supporting a long and active life.

Fresh fruit juices, like orange, papaya, or guanabana, are also popular, especially in warmer regions, such as Jaco.
