As of 15 July 2010 you can get your business or personal PO Box for half price. The privatized Correos de Costa Rica announced the offer, which means that urban mail boxes will cost ¢6000 and ¢4500 in rural areas. The offer is valid through August 15th and applicable nationwide. If you want to own the PO Box in the name of your company, you must present a copy of the "Personería Jurídica", a copy of the identification of the company officer making the application and complete the application form. For personal PO Boxes, the application form and identification are the requirements. There is also a security deposit of 12000 colones or 9000 colones.

It's no secret to avid fishermen that Costa Rica is an angler's paradise: A recent study of tourism patterns of 2008 showed that of 2.1 million tourists visiting here that year, 283,790 were here for the fishing.
They dropped $599 million into local coffers and had a ball doing it. The joint study by the Billfish Foundation, Southwick Associates and the University of Costa Rica showed they were here for the marlin, sailfish, yellowfin tuna, wahoo and mahimahi.

This country has recovered two important pre-Columbian artifacts from Spain suspected of having been taken from here illegally by notorious Costa Rican Leonardo Patterson, part of a hoard of nearly 500 pre-Columbian pieces he is suspected of having obtained here.
The two recovered pieces were held in Spain's Museo de America and delivered to the National Museum in San José. Local archaeologists have long decried the depredations of so-called huaqueros, grave robbers who illegally remove archaeologically important objects for sale on the worldwide black market.
