We were just in Costa Rica last year but didn't visit Golfito. We really like Nosara and the whole Guanacaste Penn. Next visit which hopefully is early next year, we plan to visit further south. I've always wanted to surf Pavones and my wife would love all the ocean creatures in Golfito. thanks for the all the great info! cheers Golfito sounds like a great place.

Everything is described very well and although I have never been to the area this writer makes me feel as though I was looking at a map. The history of the United Fruit Company can be looked at in so many different ways. Yes, they built schools, houses, and hospitals but the question must be asked for what advantage? An advantage for the way of life for the people? Or an advantage to keep their work force healthy? The history of the United Fruit is one of quite dirty business and political insanity. I think Eli Black the CEO of the United Fruit Company jumping out of his Manhattan office building to his death in 1975 best describes the feeling of what exactly went on the century before.
