I think you'll find that Colombians must get a visa to enter Costa Rica, your post rung a bell as my brother-in-law went to Costa Rica and I recalled that he had needed to get a visa first from Bogota.

I have looked it up also at the embassy in Bogota.

I think as a rule of thumb all Central American countires and the caribe requires visas for Colombian nationals. South American countries do not.

Visit www.aviantur.com, a national chain of travel agencies and on the right hand side under PRODUCTOS there is a heading DOCUMENTACION, clicking on that you get three headings, PASAPORTES, VISAS, VACUNAS. Clicking on VISAS you get a scroll of countries that they provide travel deals to and you see what the arrangements are, whether it is visa-free or not for Colombians.

Papasito: Check this website out, its from the national hotel association in Colombia, as La Floresta does not have it's own website.

It's on KM 3 via El Eden, which is on the outskirts of Armenia, on the road that leaves Armenia (Quindio) on the way to the airport, La Tebaida or that goes further on to Valle (Cali)

EDIT Oops I forgot the website, it's

Colombian citizens need a visa to costa rica, i think theyre valid for only a month or so starting on the day you apply.
Getting a passport shouldnt be a problem, just take birth cetificate, a picture and the amount of money required to the foreign ministry passport section...Costa Rica, nice spot, but I think youll find Medellin much more appealing.
In regards to travel agencies, any travel agency can issue a ticket otherwise just go to travelocity or expedia.
Have fun-

Mario, you inspired me to go check out her image gallery. I really enjoyed seeing her father substitute his leg for hers while the "winner" got to take the garter off. At my wedding reception, some lucky coworker of my wife's got to take her garter off with his teeth! They said that's the custom in Colombia - yeah, right! Good thing I drew the line at his tagging along for the wedding night.....

Costa Rica is better than Colombia! Costa Rica, all things considered, is a better, safer, destination than Medellin or Colombia as a whole. I am talking about all things considered...safety, politics, etc. I love Colombia mind you but Costa Rica is very probably the finest country in all of Latin America which is why you will find practically no expat Costa Rican community in the U.S. (They don't run to the US trying to escape financial problems, civil wars and or violence?)

You need a visa for Costa Rica if you are Colombian. AVIANCA used to fly twice a day to San Jose. Why? I think because Colombians did not need a VISA and many were going there to escape Colombia's problems. Now Colombians need a visa and AVIANCA stopped those flights? Is their a correlation? I think there was. SAM used to serve San Jose from Colombia too! The VISA probably is not that hard to obtain!

No, Mario, I was only joking about the menage a trois. They all claimed that it was the Colombian custom to have the single guy who wins the honor of the bride's garter take it off with his teeth. Of course I told them that it was the American custom for the single woman who wins the bouquet to give the groom a BJ. So I guess we're even.
