I know that February is the dry season for most of CR. Here in the states El Nino has been wreaking havoc on the weather this year. Has it also impacted normal weather patterns in Costa Rica?

time and comfort do not matter much, I'm just trying to cut down on costs and I figure it will be a lot cheaper than going by plane.

Thanks!

My father was an American living and teaching in beautiful Guatemala.He met a Guatemalan woman there and they had 2 children, one of which I've never met.He died unexpectedly of a heart attack 2/17/03 in Guatemala City and,according to his Catholic wife,was buried the same day in a mausoleum.She told me that it is common procedure in that country to bury the dead quickly because of the heat, humidity, etc. I don't know my stepmother very well and she claims there is no death certificate or any other proof on file anywhere but I really need some documentation for closure.I was an only child raised by my widower father, we were very close and I never got to say goodbye.The 4year anniversary of his death is approaching and I still haven't even accepted that he is dead.I want some proof;a death certificate, a coroner's report, even a report from the cemetary will do.I'm desperate and heart-broken.What can I do?Are there laws about this in Guatemala?It could have even been foul-play. HELP!

I'm planning my trip and will be there from middle of March to middle of May. I want to start in Ecuador, make my way down the west side of the continent to Patagonia. Then come up the east side.

I definitely don't want to miss Machu Picchu and Patagonia. But what else are must see places?

Also, are there any tours you recommend? I'll be going by myself and would like to travel with tours in some areas.

We are going in April and staying there for 3 days before heading to the Galapagos, then staying another 3 days after coming back. Is it safe to wander around during the day - any places you suggest we see locally (other than the market - we've been told about it). Any sightseeing trips you might suggest?

Thanks for any suggestions you might have.
