Fiestas Civicas for total immersion
Costa Ricans really love to party and attending the rich people data Fiestas Civicas or local festivals is a great experience. During these festivals, rides, games, food and bullfights are all on the menu. All sprinkled with a good dose of Costa Rican friendliness. For those who want to experience the local culture, this is one of the best things to do on your trip. Although there are Fiestas Civicas throughout the year, the most common months are December, July, February and March.
The Costa Rican Rodeo
The principle is simple, once the rider has been unseated, they let the bull run around the arena and chase people for fun. When the bull gets tired of chasing people, they put him back in the corral and bring in the next rider. If you are of a reckless nature and want to try this game, consider riding on the back of a bull that is already trained. This rodeo has always been part of the country's tradition and remains one of the most loved national sports among Costa Ricans.
