Colours Oasis Resort San Jose Costa Rica REVIEW
Colours Oasis is a GAY but very ‘Straight-friendly’ resort in San Jose Costa Rica. Located in the Barrio Rohrmoser, which is just a short cab ride to the middle of downtown San Jose where all the major attractions are located: museums, markets, the National Theatre, shopping, as well as the gay bars like La Avispa, Club Oh, Pucho’s, and Bochinche. Gay friendly restaurants such as Cafe Mundo are within walking distance, and gay saunas are also in close proximity. You’ll want to stay at least 2-3 nights at Colours Oasis to take in all the hotel has to offer, such as the solar heated pool, secluded jacuzzi, a spacious sun bathing terrace, exercise room that doubles as a computer room, a beautiful patio garden complete with exotic birds, and a Great bar where everyone seems to meet for Happy Hour. Check out this GAY Hotel review from D’Angelo and michael alan from Travel Costa Rica NOW and see the many reasons the gay traveler as well as the ‘cooler’ straight travelers would be making a BIG mistake if they didn’t spend a few nights at the Colours Oasis Resort.

Cano Negro, Costa Rica
Cano Negro Wildlife Refuge is an area of lowlands that are seasonally flooded forming lakes and marshes which offer a safe haven for a variety of fauna, particularly large numbers of migratory waterfowl and other bird species. Cano Negro is excellent for bird-watching from mid-November to April and shouldn’t be missed as a visitor will typically see cattle egrets, wood storks, roseate spoonbills, white ibis, black-bellies tree ducks and Neotropic cormorants to name a few. However, during the dry season (April to November) the main lake dries up and Cano Negro is relegated to small lagoons, channels, ditches and strips of beach and although there is an abundance of birds, there’s not as many wading birds. The forests, grasslands and marshes of Cano Negro are also home to a variety of endangered species like cougars, tapirs, jaguars and ocelots but also tayras, sloths, otters, and Howler, White-Faced Capuchin and Spider monkeys. Tortoises, caymans, and some 30 species of freshwater fish reside in the rivers at Cano Negro. The gar fish which is considered to be a living fossil is also found there.
Hey guys, michael alan here and D’Angelo from the “Doing Costa Rica” section of TravelCostaRicaNow.com We’re here in Cano Negro on the boarder of Nicaragua and Costa Rica. And If you guys ever come out to La Fortuna or this part of the country you have to come down to Cano Negro… This is where you’ll see all the wildlife. You’re going to see the monkeys, Alligators… not alligator, what do you call them…. Caymans, the birds, lots of different birds. lot of birders come out here. A lot of people come from La Fortuna, Costa Rica, and you can get a tour out of La Fortuna, Costa Rica but if you have a rental car you can come out here yourself and do what we’re doing… We just bargained out own boat and we save some good money doing it. Oh, and on the way you definitely want to stop in Muelle, Costa Rica. Muelle is a town where there are Iguanas everywhere. When you pull in there is a bridge and there are iguanas everywhere. Ya, so what we’re going to do is were going to take you down… this is the Rio Frio, we’re not actually on the Cano Negro wildlife Refuge or the National Park. And when you get sold a tour that says you’re going to Cano Negro National Park more likely your not going to Cano Negro National Park, you’re going to the Rio Frio. So don’t be confused, You’ll see not as much but enough wildlife on the Rio Frio as you would going down the actual Cano Negro. So it’s all good….. Here’s some of the wildlife….
Hey everybody, so we’re just starting out and we got a little boat. We got a good deal on it. For four people it was $50.
… well, that was cano negro, costa rica. we definitely recomend Cano Negro especially if your a nature lover. You’ll all the animals we showed you if not more. Well, form Cano Negro there’s trips coming out there from La Fortuna (most of the trips are from La Fortuna). and they usually run about $45 – $65 a person. Per Person…. hey, we did this… if you have a rental car you can do it yourself… go up to the boarder (Los Chiles) and do it… we did it for $50 …. 4 of us did it for $50 total… They were asking for $70 for the 4 of us, but as soon as they saw us walking away to go ask another tour guide they dropped ti down to $50… you might get a better deal then that depending on supply and demand.
But you want to stop here…. we’re in Muelle, Costa Rica which is known for the iguanas all over the place. their huge iguanas some around 6 feet long. and ranging in colors from line green, to dark green, orange, to brown. Great photo op. come out and get those great photos. The tours will stop in this area, but you rental car people dont want to miss it so definitely stop in Muelle.
Hope this helps and hope you guys come out and see it…

San Jose Airport Costa Rica
Hey Everyone, michael alan and DAngelo from the Costa Rica Travel Channel. We went to Juan Santamaria International Airport aka San Jose Airport (so don’t be confused) and made a little video so you would know what to expect when you fly into Costa Rica. Sometimes, this airport can be quite intimidating, especially during high season (Dec-April). If you made it to La Fortuna, home of the Arenal Volcano, stop by, but don’t forget the Cacique.
Every country seems to have their own set of requirements when traveling ‘in’ and ‘out,’ and Costa Rica is no exception. The good news is, the requirements are fairly basic, as it’s quite easy to get in and out of the San Jose airport (Juan Santamaria International Airport)- with the possible exception of ‘time’. There ARE frequent instances of waiting a few hours in various lines, depending. Flying into Liberia’s, Daniel Oduber International Airport, located in the Guanacaste region is just a bit easier and less crowded than its older brother, Juan Santamaria Airport. But, if you are interested in Costa Rica travel, then you should probably take a look at this important information concerning entry and departure requirements even if you’re a seasoned traveler. The Costa Rica Travel Channel thinks it’s a good idea to remind you of things you may have forgotten you know.
Things have changed and a drivers license and birth certificate will NOT get you into Costa Rica. YOU MUST HAVE A VALID PASSPORT that will not expire within six months. If your passport is in poor condition the Costa Rica Travel Channel highly recommends that you replace it before leaving, you could be turned away. If you even suspect your passport may be a bit ‘weathered,’ don’t chance it, trust us, you really can be turned away and put on the next return flight. This would definitely be a vacation buzz kill. So, error on the side of being overly conservative.
US citizens as well as those from Canada and most European countries may visit Costa Rica for 90 days. If you wish a longer visit, you must leave the country for 72 hours. This will refresh your visa for another 90 days. However, there is a legal loophole. If for instance you left the country BEFORE your 90 days were up, you could re-enter after just a short day trip across the border, which would also refresh your visa for another 90 days. The Costa Rica Travel Channel does not endorse this, just reporting it. Doing this in and out thing a few times is no big deal. Doing it over and over (perpetual tourism) you can run a serious risk of being expelled from the country or refused re-admittance.
