Known as one of the most important holidays in the Catholic calendar it is treated as such. While liquor is not sold between Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, tourists and locals alike stock up for the celebrations. Don't worry though; you can happily enjoy the food and beverages of your choice in your Costa Rica Vacation Rental. Come, and enjoy the beach, sun and great outdoor activities on your vacation during the Easter holiday. During the holiday most Ticos (locals from Costa Rica) take off the entire week for Semana Santa, while some only get off Thursday and Friday. To truly experience some of the culture in Costa Rica head to the beaches to see how the locals like to spend their time off. This time of year is not in short supply of local parties, festivals, and events. While most cities in Costa Rica at this time of year have parades, the masses are drawn to the beaches. With perfectly clear blue skies and a weather forecast in the 90's all week, even Ticos are found baking in the sun. You can see locals playing soccer on the beach or giving surfing a try. A Tamarindo Vacation Rental can give you prime location to be just steps away from all of the cities excitement at night, and all of the best waves and beach activities during the day. You have to check out Lagarteada! In a small town in Santa Cruz, Guanacaste a 150-year-old Semana Santa tradition still survives. This tradition is called a lagarteada and involves a rowdy bunch of people, mostly men as you can imagine, jumping into a murky river on Good Friday and herding a full-size alligator into submission with their bare hands. The unlucky alligator that is captured is tied up and carried into town where it spends a few days in a special pen built for the special occasion. The MINAE (Ministerio de Ambiente y Energía), Costa Rica's Environmental Protection Agency has given this crazy event its blessing with the condition that the alligator is returned unharmed to its home. No matter what your plans for Easter are you can be sure to enjoy a crazy family adventure this year in Costa Rica. You will be exposed to a beautiful culture, witness the local religion, and enjoy the sun and surf. One thing is for sure that you don't need to worry about having a good time, as all of the local Ticos will assure it!

Helpful Travel Tip: Stock Up on the Sun Screen Most people have to change their vacation plans because of sunburn than any other reason. A sun burn can compromise an entire vacation in as little as two hours. Always keep in mind, if you are visiting the beaches of Costa Rica that the sun's ultraviolet rays are more direct and stronger here because of Costa Rica's close proximity to the equator (10 degrees north). So when vacationing use sun block with a minimum SPF of 15 and reapply throughout the day. Wide brimmed hats and sunglasses are also highly recommended. It will always be worth it to sacrifice a little tan to avoid sun poisoning and having to stay inside the entire trip. Looking for an Adrenaline Rush?
