Swimmer,
The Ticos and Ticas (name for the local Costa Rican people) are great and the many American expatriates are as laid back as anyone living in paradise would be. I'm seldom on a plane where I don't here someone saying, "We're looking at property in CR." Then there's the folks that go there and never leave.
There are some rivers where you might want to only wade at low tide because otherwise the rivers are loaded with hammerhead sharks during high water. But come to think of it, they do a pretty good job of stretching line....hmmmm, shark fishing the rivers...sounds like video material.
I would never advise anyone to visit a foreign country and then simply go out on their own and fish anywhere. Time is too valuable and life is too short. If you fish out of great lodges like Croc Bay, you wind up saving time, minimizing effort and maximizing the fun you're going to have.
