I am wondering where I might find information on COSTA RICA, particularly the small township of Sabalito, in the Arenal - Fortuna area. My interest is in attending a center there for one month and I have never travelled to Central America. My home is Australia so it seems very foreign to me at the moment. Are visits to San Jose reasonally safe? I have had my wallet pinched whilst in Madrid on the subway! thanks, for any personal experiences. Pauline.
