Get Adventurous

Take your trip to new heights by conquering simmering peaks or zipping through treetops. Epic hikes await around the country’s most active volcano, the Arenal Volcano. Walk through former lava fields before unwinding in the national park’s natural hot springs. Take your feet off the ground at the Monteverde Cloud Forest where zip-lining adventures send you flying over the tropical woodland.

Go Wild

Add a couple critters to your clique! Known for its biodiversity, Costa Rica teems with colourful wildlife. Witness the incredible nesting or hatching of sea turtles at Tortuguero National Park, a turtle haven. Keep your eyes peeled up-top at the Manuel Antonio National Park, where capuchin monkeys swing around and three-toed sloths hang loose. Meanwhile, Marino Ballena National Park beckons you to go big or go home with humpback whales and dolphins swimming by its shores.

Catch a Wave

Surf’s up! Set yourself up for a bit of splashing around at one of the country’s best beaches. Bustling Tamarindo Beach calls for surfing and swimming all day and great dining and dancing all night. Explore the nearby, quieter palm tree-lined shores of Carillo Beach where rest and relaxation reign. For a more adventurous swim, you can hike to the Celeste River and its impressive waterfall tinted turquoise thanks to volcanic minerals.
