Famous 5 colones bill!

Allegory to Coffee and Bananas - Aleardo Villa - National Theatre - Costa Rica

The most famous painting of the theater is an allegory to the two most important export products of the country, coffee and bananas. Aleardo Villa ( italian painter ) was not very familiar with our country, so he made a few technical mistakes that made the painting funny and unique. The bananas in the bunch are up side down. The coffee plantations are painted at sea level, what is wrong. The coffee bushes are too small and the women are typical shobby, very elegant nord italian ladies, very different from our coffee pickers. The oxen have the yoke on their necks. Imagine the poor oxen strangled by pulling all that weight. Normally the yoke is tied up to the horns and head. Although he made some mistakes, it is a nice painting and was chosen as a motif for our 5 colones bill. The bill is out of circulation but it can be purchased outside as a collection item.

Buena Vista Combo

Buena Vista is located near by Rincon de la Vieja National Park.

In this tour you will enjoy the primary forest on a different way: trails built up in the top of the trees (about 105 feet high). A small hike takes you to the first platform, from there you start swinging to the other 12 platforms, which are connected by 10 cables from 150 to 400 feets long.

During the canopy, that last almost one hour and a half, you will have the opportunity to observe the surrounding forest from a new perspective.

You might be getting hot by now because of the canopy, so it is time to cool off on the 1200 ft. long water slide.

After having lunch at the Lodge, we start the third part of the tour:

Horseback riding to the thermal waters, steambath and natural spa, located at the foot of Rincon de la Vieja Volcano. Here, you will enjoy the rejuvenating treatments with volcanic mud and mineral waters.

On your way there you will enjoy the wildlife of a transitional forest ( between dry and rain forest ), where you might be able to spot monkeys, squirrels and a variety of butterflies and birds such as wood peckers and toucans.
