Buenos Aires, Costa Rica

Buenos Aires:  The Center of the World of Adventure

While it might not be as well known as the Buenos Aires in Argentina, the one in south Puntarenas, Costa Rica offers a lot to its residents and tourists.  Since it’s located just off Route 2, it’s a great starting point for travelers planning to explore the surrounding parks or a home base for those wanting to enjoy the sunny countryside.  Buenos Aires recently started a new recycling program, one of only a few in the country.  This has brought about an influx of new, eco-friendly residents and their families.
