Even more poisonous snakes and frogs in Panama. Plus the dangerous ship traffic in the canal.

just returned from Oaxaca. i shoot Canon and Fujifilm. I decided on my Canon 60D (70-200mm) and my Fujifilm x100s (38mm + macro). Both were great. i also took my tripod and monopod. never used the tripod. i did use the monopod, but not often. have a great trip.

They are also in Panama! It is very rare for a tourist to get a snake bite in CR. And if you do - CR has a developed health infrastructure, so you would probably be able to get to a clinic with antivenom fairly quickly.

Costa Rica has some hellish-looking spiders. Also try not to become an incubator for the Bot Fly. They look nasty wiggling under your skin. A friend of mind realized he had one in his leg after his return to the US. He had to have minor surgery to get it removed.

My friend also said that there are many, many beautiful women in Costa Rica. You pay your money and you take your chances.

Thanks for uplifting my morale, folks, but I think jfn007 had the most convincing argument!
