I've been looking into volunteering abroad next spring/summer with Cross Cultural Solutions. My first choice of the locations they have available is Cartago, Costa Rica.
Does anyone know how safe Cartago is? I mean, are there high crime rates? Are tourists and out of towners targeted? My mother claims that it isn't safe to go ANYWHERE outside of the USA because of so many other countries hating Americans and because of the way things are these days, but I don't believe that to be entirely true. I'm sure some places are unsafe (just like some places in America), but not all. So, that's what I'm wondering. How safe is Cartago for a 19 year old American girl? (I wouldn't be on my own. The organization sends several people at a time; lodging, transportation, everything provided.)
My 2 other choices would be Salvador, Brazil or Guatemala City, Guatemala. Anyone know how safe these places are?

I'd appreciate any info or insights! :)

We are considering taking an inexpensive vacation to Costa Rica in late March. Being rather independent and valuing our privacy at times, should we avoid the package deals and rent a car? We recently returned from Crete, where we stayed in a historical villa in a small village, and were able to explore as needed once we got use to the roads/stick shift,ect.. We want to hike in the rainforest and see the best of Costa Rica for $2000- $3000 including airfare, but not necessarily meals.. Two meals a day are more than adequate, and 7-10 days would be about right. We don't particularly care about the beaches but want to see the volcano, butterflies and exotic flora/fauna/animals. It will be our 7th anniversary, and we are in our mid-50's , so nothing TOO strenuous. Any suggestions, itineries, recommendations towards places to stay, tour, or eat, will be very much appreciated. We LOVE nature, natives, walking, coffee and chocolate!

It's with my youth group, and I was wondering if any one knows if it's cool over there.

I am making my plans quite late and may have to spend a lot more to get there. Also, it's the rainy season, I am travelling alone - and I am not used to hiking. I heard that the ruins were nothing much to see, but the location is superb. So unless you do the hike, it's not worth it.

if you can remember the name, what are some of the best dishes you had while you were there? im only looking for the name, you dont have to go through the trouble of telling me the recipies.

the reason why im asking is because i have an equadorean cookbook with me, but since there are tons and tons of recipies to do different dishes, i dont want to do every single one of them to see which ones are good or not, i prefer getting references.

so just name them, if you can remember, thanks!

oh! my favorite ones were la sopa de zapallo and el ceviche de pollo...yum!!!!!

My budget is about $30 per night and I would like a funky modern place to eat, preferably with breakfast included.

I am in Lima for three nights en-route to Cajamraca. Would like to do a bit of sightseeing so either close to the sights, or easy transport links would be good.

Also a lone female so I have to take account of that, so the area needs to be safe for lone women.

I'd like to know what the cost of living is in Peru (I guess there will be variations as there are in all countries). How much does groceries, transport, clothes, toletries etc cost.
I'm living there for a few months and would like to know how far my budget will go.

I'd prefer the priced in Soles cos the conversion rate for British pounds changes.

I love Colombia! This summer me and my boyfriend (who is Colombian) went there. We were mostly in Medellin. It's very secure, he says it's changed alot since the last time he went. The food is delicious. The people are awesome. The clothes are really nice [and not as expensive as they are in the U.S.]. If you ever go to Colombia and want to buy clothes go to Itagui. I recommend going in taxi [taking the metro (train) is cheaper, but it gets really crowded and confusing. You have to get off at a certain station and take another train.]. Tell the taxi driver to take you to "El Centro De La Moda" in Itagui and to stop in the first 'centro commercial' (mall). The price of the ride depends on where you get on the taxi. Going to Itagui in taxi is kind of expensive. Anyway, Colombia was extremely fun. If me and my boyfirend ever get married and he wants to move to Colombia, I'd do it in a heart beat.
