Bienvenido, welcome to my website about Costa Rica!
A popular term used in Costa Rica to refer to a friend or a person is 'mae'. You could compare it with the English word 'dude'. Hence the name of this website: 'Costa Rica Mae'.
My name is Erwin. I have lived in Costa Rica with an amazing Costa Rican family, and I have travelled around the country for many times. I have seen and experienced a lot of Costa Rica, and this wonderful country never stopped to amaze me. I have created this website to share my passion for Costa Rica and to provide others with accessible information about travelling in Costa Rica in general and about the many beautiful destinations this country has to offer. The website is written in English even though this is not my first language, but hopefully this way it serves a wider audience.
