| Costa Rica has a wealth of indoor and outdoor activities
designed for everyone, regardless of sex, age, personal taste
or budget. All of us, Costa Ricans, tourists and foreign residents,
can participate in river rafting (some of the world's best),
camping, walking groups, dancing, racquetball, weight lifting,
tennis, baseball, soccer, swimming and surfing, jogging, bicycling,
horseback riding and sailing. There are also plays, ceramic
classes, movies, bridge clubs, art galleries, social clubs,
museums, parks, zoos and more. Dedicated couch potatoes can
even stretch out and admire the lovely landscape or work on
improving their suntans.
Metro Bowl near the Multiplaza Mall in Escazú is an
entertainment center with 20 bowling lanes, restaurants and
a pool hall.
There is something for everyone, so enjoy. Check the activities
sections of the Costa Rica Today or The Tico Times.
If you read Spanish, there is a listing in the weekend section
of La Nación called Buscando Diversión.
You can find activities, cultural events and all sorts of
entertainment listed there.
Gyms and health clubs are a good place to socialize and make
new friends while working out. Some gyms even have spas, tennis
courts and swimming pools. There are more than 32 gyms in
the metropolitan area. Call around and visit those in your
area to find out which is right for you.
Gold's Gym recently announced that it was going to expand
to all of Central America, including Costa Rica. In addition
to the gym they already have at the Radisson Hotel, they plan
to build a gym in Curridabat, another in Escazú and
one more in Rohrmoser. Presently Gold's offers aerobics, Pilates,
kick-boxing, yoga, weight training and more. For information,
