Sand and Sea to
Spare in Costa Rica
THE Nicoya Peninsula juts off Costa Rica
into the Pacific Ocean like a misshapen
ear. It is rugged terrain, formed by the
string of volcanoes inland. Other than a
few large beach resorts in the far
north, Nicoya's coastline has missed
much of the development that has spread
across the country.
In a search for an affordable, relaxed
beach vacation, I first visited Nicoya
in January 2002, traveling to Montezuma,
a small town on the bottom tip of the
peninsula, and returned last year. Once
an active fishing village, Montezuma has
developed a reputation as a backpacker
haven, a beachside Katmandu.

WORLD
SOCIAL FORUM:
Latin America's Poorest Activists Stay Home
Tens of thousands of kilometres separate the southern Brazilian city of Porto
Alegre and the Indian metropolis of Mumbai, a road too long and too expensive
for thousands of Latin American activists, who will not participate in this
year's fourth World Social Forum.
A relatively small delegation of several hundred Latin Americans -- including
250 Brazilians -- are making the trip that globalisation has not been able to
make any shorter, from the region that hosted the first three WSF to the venue
for the one that begins in India on Friday.
