The Wedding Website of Anita Baldizon and Francisco Diaz
The wedding venue is: Villa Vittoria Boutique Hotel, WQMH+H35, Av. 3, San José Province, Brasil District, La Amistad, Costa Rica Travel Tips: 1- WAZE maps ONLY when traveling in CR 2- Get a car with 4x4 & get insurance. Driving here is a bit like Mexico, Cisco says. It is a tropical climate and can be muddy, winding roads, and they are not always great condition; drive with caution. FYI, Anita has driven here but Cisco is more confident in driving in these types of conditions. 3-Get gas full BEFORE leaving the area you are in, there is a lot of natural and rural areas in between, and places that simply do not have gas 4- Bring credit cards & cash- Costa Rican currency is best, but USD is used in a lot of places as well 5- Spanish is used most but many speak English 6- Stow valuables away 7- Read all details/reviews for lodging. Also, A/C is not standard 8-For other lodging options, Google the area name, & hit "nearby" 9-Have fun! Local lodging examples below, with links:
