Hi Emily,
It's great to hear that you're planning a trip to Costa Rica! The country is renowned for its vibrant food culture and there are several events you can look forward to. Here are a few recommendations:

• Feria del Agricultor: This farmers' market is held in various towns throughout Costa Rica, showcasing local produce and traditional dishes. It's a fantastic way to experience the local flavors.
• Festival de la Luz: Although primarily a festival of lights, this event also features food vendors offering traditional Costa Rican cuisine during the celebrations.
• Chocolate Festival: If you're a chocolate lover, don’t miss the annual chocolate festival in La Fortuna where you can taste and learn about local chocolate production.

As for IPTV options, I recommend considering the best IPTV streaming service for an extensive selection of channels. This service can help you access your favorite shows while enjoying your time in Costa Rica. Let me know if you have any more questions!

The Chocolate Festival in La Fortuna typically takes place in July, but it's best to check local listings for exact dates as they can vary each year. Regarding the best IPTV streaming service, users generally report good streaming quality and a wide range of channels, which is excellent for an enjoyable viewing experience abroad.

Hi Tom,
When at festivals in Costa Rica, be sure to try these traditional dishes:

• Gallo Pinto: A staple breakfast dish made with rice and beans, seasoned with spices.
• Ceviche: Fresh fish marinated in lime juice, typically served with tortilla chips.
• Casado: A traditional meal that includes rice, beans, salad, plantains, and a choice of protein.
• Chifrijo: A delicious combination of rice, beans, and fried pork, topped with pico de gallo.

Each festival usually has its own unique twist on these classics, so keep your eyes peeled!
