If you only had one day to spend in San Jose, Costa Rica and wanted to go see the Rainforest, where would you go? I found all the National Parks list for Costa Rica, but really don't know which one to go to. I hear of all the exotic and rare wild life I want to see - the sloths, red macaws, monkeys, etc. in the Rainforest and wish to see these sorts of things even if it is farther. So, what is also the CLOSEST things to do (outside of San Jose City tours) but not just seeing a coffee plantation or butterfly farm? I know about the Arenal Volcano, but what is the best rainforest? (And what is the best rainforest/park to see all the wildlife) And what is the closest rainforest if not the best? I travelled and stayed in the Daintree Rainforest in Australia and LOVE it. I live on a beach in Florida so have no desire to go to a beach since I live on one already, hence why I want to see and take pictures with my nice Canon EOS camera of animals/fauna, etc. in the dense rainforests.

if you like your camera BE CAREFUL!! i went to Costa Rica and the humidity and sudden rain in the rain forest ruined my camera, a very nice one and i was quite upset. i would recommend getting a waterproof case. San Jose just isn't that close to most of the non-traveled rainforest's. the best one for wildlife (for me) was the cloud forest (Monte Verde) it was amazing!! there were sloths just hanging by the doors and windows and hummingbirds everywhere! also iguanas and toucans and wild butterflies. more than i can mention. amazing huge old trees with cactus growing on the higher branches, the base covered in moss and other small plants. i would also recommend la fortuna waterfall as an extremely beautiful photo spot, it's an amazing country with beauty around every corner; I'm sure you wont have any trouble getting great pic.s . also i would go to a restaurant in San Jose called pollo fiesta or something that means chicken party, it's soooo amazing! you absolutely need to try the guacamole! have fun!!

i want to get a little interest in my life so i was thinking of while im on break at college (we have two week breaks at the middle and end of the semester), going geocacheing. Is this a good hobby?
then why would i not want people to see me doing it.
Answer
Yes.
My brother introduced it to me in 2004. It takes you to lots of interesting places, and gives you an excuse for a bit of an adventure. You need a hand-held GPS. The Garmin Etrex yellow it still the cheap standard that does what you need, but of course if you pay more you get more. You then go to the Geocaching site and set up your account details, so you can log your finds, and away you go. A camera, spare batteries, and a waterproof pencil is handy. And of course a supply of goodies to exchange - small cheap trinkets are best. I have a supply of rubber frogs. Quite often you can pick up caching goodies at festivals.
You can buy travel bug tags - these are Aluminium tags which you can attach to a mascot which has a serial number and its own web page where you can observe its progress around the world. Most of mine have been muggled and lost, but I have one little lion that has had incredible adventures over 5 years, including being lost and found months later in Australia, and is currently in the Netherlands, having been to the United States. http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=69601
Once you settle down somewhere, you can set caches too, which is fun. I have set three - one with clues to calculate the co-ordinates, one very easy one which is popular for passers-by, and one which was on a wild island next to a ford, but got washed away in the 2007 floods.
Apart from finding the local caches, you can also print off details for those near anywhere you are going.
