Fruit stands
As you drive the highways of Costa Rica towards Casa Mango and Casa Papaya, you will find everything for sale along side the road. If your timing is right, you’ll find fruit stands lining the roads with fresh ripe deliciousness. Melons: watermelons, cantaloupe, casaba. Farm-made honey. ever-present papaya. Avocados. And green coconut water called “Agua de pipa” or simply “Pipa Fria”. It’s cheaper than Coco-Cola and way better for you. A glass a day will cure what ails you. Seriously.
