First went to CR with my late wife in 1987. Thoroughly enjoyed it except for a minor earthquake. Went back a few years later on business for a few days. Ten years ago new bride and I went on our honeymoon there. We saw a lot of monkeys, no real big bugs, but wife was terrified when a coati mundi turned up on our patio. Saw a LOT of big bugs in Cuba, but not too many in Panama, but never got too far into the bush. How about Paraguay or Uruguay?
