2013 GTG - Bosque del Cabo, Costa Rica

It's that time again for our bi-annual GTG at Bosque del Cabo, Costa Rica. Very exciting as we have several confirmed posters for 2013. The dates will be June 27th - July 4th. Hope we can get even more to join us, for a few days, the full week, or more! I will let those who are coming identify themselves (if they wish). Come join us as we search endlessly for the puma, enjoy happy hour too much, eat too much and hike too much.

www.bosquedelcabo.com is the website, any questions please feel free to ask here!

Mr. Shillmac and I are looking forward to the GTG! Time at Bosque del Cabo is always a highlight for us while in Costa Rica, and we have high hopes for Team Puma this year. Even more than that, we are excited to meet new Fodor's friends. Can't wait! Come join us--we'll have a GREAT time!

We are going to try and make it this time! I hated missing the other GTG's. I wanted Casa Blanca though...
Oh well I guess I will have to "settle" for a lovely cabina! I hope to be there w/ my hubby.
Team Puma has to be a winner , Half Tail will be waiting for us I am sure!

This is such fabulous news! We are going to have such fun! Toni, I need to "read up" on my camera before then so I can have intelligent conversations with you. I'm still pointed and shooting.

Sounds like a great group and there is still room for more to join us! Wouldn't mind getting a new camera myself for the GTG, or maybe one of those GoPro set-ups - someone had one last trip and was pretty cool looking at their trip up to the waterfall.

Do any of you going have kids? We are thinking of coming to CR next summer (would be our second trip to CR but first to Osa Peninsula) and if we do, want to stay at BdC for a few days. Not sure of dates yet. Older daughter (will be 14 by then) is going to Argentina with her Spanish class June 12 for I think 9 days and am trying to figure out if there's a way we could have her meet us in CR rather than her flying home and then us all flying to CR. Not sure about her flying alone though or if the trip would allow it. Anyway, we have two daughters, who will then be 14 and 11.

Hi again - haven't seen a reply about whether any of you guys coming have kids but that's ok if you don't, would still be nice to meet other Fodorites there! I posted more on TA when I was looking at Costa Rica options on my last trip but I used Fodors a lot when planning my recent Africa trip, and love the advice I get here!

I was just looking at the old thread about the last GTG you guys had at BdC - did I read correctly that BdC is giving a 25% discount to Fodorites who come during the week of the GTG? That would be nice! What does one need to do to request that, just contact BdC and mention that you are a Fodorite?

Hi Jane, as far as I know no one is bringing any kids. Yes, the discount for fodorites attending during the GTG dates, you just request it through BdC. I believe we are up to around 17 people now.
