Costa Rica JungleMan Trail Run

With it's starting point in the gorgeous beachside town of Tamarindo, the Costa Rica JungleMan Trail Run is set to place on March 31, 2012.


Locally sponsored by La Ruta Adventures, this world-class race combines a half or full-marathon with the natural beauty of Costa Rica making it the perfect location to attract athletes from around the world.


Participants, including featured racer Dylan Bowman of Aspen, CO, will trek either 5-K or 10-K through inland rainforest as well as the picturesque white sand beaches of Tamarindo.  


The Jungleman Trail Run will be an exciting race for everyone including both runners and watchers alike.  Additional sponsors include Toyota Rent a Car, Powerade and Movistar.


Only two days away, the Costa Rica JungleMan Trail Run is a sporting event not to be missed!!


Trendy Tamarindo is only a one-hour drive away from our spacious one-bedroom condo in Playas del Coco, Guanacaste.  When you're tired of the hustle & bustle you'll find in Tamarindo, head on back to our serene location where you can just relax and enjoy the ocean views from our roof top terrace ;)


Cheers!

Nightlife in Playas del Coco, Costa Rica

For a sleepy little beach town, the nightlife in Playas del Coco is second to none.  Visitors will find a selection of happening beach bars with live music, DJs spinning tunes to the disco beat, gambling, and happy hour drink specials along Coco's main tree-lined street.

Here's a quick run down of the nightlife in Playas del Coco:

• Tortuga Bar - one of the newest, located near the pier
• Coconutz - outdoor bar offering great burgers and a fun atmosphere
• Lizard Lounge - pool table, tropical laid back feeling for the younger crowd
• La Vida Loca - beach front bar with a pool table & ping pong
• Coco Bay Casino - gambling fun
• Flor de Itabo - more games of chance
• Z Lounge - live music most weekends with no cover, slightly older crowd

and many more venues that we haven't had the chance to visit yet;)  Don't miss the Top Restaurants in Playas del Coco.

Cheers from Costa Rica!
