We stopped at Playa del Coco and checked into the country. It took 1 and 1/2 days to do this including two $30 taxi rides to the customs office at Liberia airport. They gave us the wrong paperwork the first time, and made us wait 3 hours the second time. We were required to go to the Port Captain office, than to Immigration office, then back to the port captain, then to customs at the airport, and then back to the port captain office. Only good aspect was there were no charges for any of this other than the taxi fares. We also had a terrific cab driver, Victor that gave us side trips to see the country side and information on the history and life of Ticos and Ticas (what they call the Costa Rican people). We went to a bar, called Coconutz, to use the internet and they had license plates from Wisconsin on all the trees.
