Known for it's abundance of watersports ranging from scuba diving and snorkeling to surfing and white water rafting, it's no wonder Costa Rica is home to the 2011 World Rafting Championship.   


Taking place on the Pacuare River from October 4 to 11, 20122, competitors from around the world will compete in this fun yet challenging event.  In addition, the Youth World Rafting Championship will be held subsequently from October 12 to 16, 2011.

And for the Dancing with the Stars fans, the 3rd Cafe Cantante International Flamenco Festival is being held at the Jazz Cafe in Escazu on the outskirts of San Jose.  Guests will enjoy a selection of national and international flamenco dancers, performances by singers and musicians, along with guitar and dance workshops.


Enjoy & Cheers from Costa Rica!
