The Costa Rica Classic is an unimaginable vacation with proceeds benefiting the Boomer Esiason Foundation and the local Costa Rican Cystic Fibrosis chapter. In addition to searching for a cure, the Boomer Esiason Foundation also works very hard to support the CF community by improving the quality of life for children and adults with Cystic Fibrosis.

Quepos

Known as one of the best places in the world for big game sportfishing, Quepos is a small town some 160 km from San Jose in Puntarenas province. Located on Costa Rica's central Pacific coast, Quepos is a beautiful place to enjoy a nice relaxing weekend. A three-hour drive from San Jose, you will need to pass through the towns of Atenas, Orotina, Tarcoles, Jaco and Parrita on the way here. A quick way to get here would be to fly in on a domestic flight from the Juan Santa Maria International Airport, and then take a quick drive to Quepos.

Well known throughout the country as a key fishing town, Quepos offers tourists not only fantastic fishing opportunities but also plenty of other activities to indulge in as well. This town has a number of reasonably priced hotels, accommodations and luxury resorts scattered all over the place, as well as many fine restaurants, lounges and bars. The town center is a charming square filled with many eateries, hotels, art galleries and shops, all situated on the beach front. If you happen to visit here during festival times, the streets are filled with dancing, parades and concerts.
