FISHING REPORTS
QUEPOS
| Most charterboats in Quepos are geared to parties of four or less and are smaller than you are likely to find in the states ranging from 25' to 33' or so, with a couple in the 35' - 41' range. With calm seas most of the year, the size of the boat that you want is more often decided by the number of anglers. Full day charters include all bait, tackle, lunch & drinks, but not the fishing license ($24, good for a year), which you
can get at the pier before leaving for the days fishing trip. These are only a few of the boats that are currrently fishing out of Quepos. |

Quepos/Manuel Antonio is a major draw for tourists, not just anglers. Quepos is the town, and Manuel Antonio is the national park, the most popular in the country, located about four miles away. Basically, the park is a rain forest with numerous trails running throughout it. Most of the hotels are located on the road between the town and the park, which runs along the side of a mountain. There are accommodations to
suit just about any pocketbook, with most surrounded by jungle, where you are apt to be awakened by a howler monkey. These are only a couple of the close to 30 hotesl in the area.

Tropical Fishing Adventures can arrange as much or as little of your trip that you want, including the transportation from the states and between San Jose and Quepos, or any other part of Costa Rica. There are a number of daily commuter type flights (20 minutes) between San Jose and Quepos, priced at $173/person, round trip, including taxes. A private van service costs around $180 each way (3-1/2 hours), or you can always reant a car and
drive yourself. You will hear many complaints about Costa Rican roads, but with the exception of a twenty mile stretch of winding road over a mountain and a couple of single lane bridges the road between San Jose and Quepos is really not that bad.
