Tortuguero
On the Caribbean Coast, you can explore the maze of canals and waterways of Tortuguero, famous for turtles, manatees and frogs. Catch a glimpse of a three- toed sloth or toucan, any of which could be around the next bend. The sheer variety of things to experience in Tortuguero make it a must for many who travel to Costa Rica.
Arenal
Surrounded by lush forest, Arenal is a hot spot for soft adventure. Some daytime activities include ziplining, river rafting, and kayaking on Lake Arenal. Relax in the evening by soaking in the thermal waters of Tabacón Hot Springs. Of course, the volcano is never far away and sometimes will put on quite a show at night.
Monteverde
A haven for flora and fauna, the Monteverde Reserve hosts hundreds of birds, mammals and plant species. Journey through this unique microclimate by treetop walkway, or for the more adventurous traveler try the zipline canopy tour, and hopefully catch a glimpse of the Resplendent Quetzal.
Guanacaste
Unwind as the cooling breezes of the Pacific melt the heat of Guanacaste’s warm days. Stroll the beaches, go snorkeling, learn to surf, play golf, or lay poolside and enjoy the leisurely pace of these seaside towns. With so many activities and so many beaches, a few days in Guanacaste inspires its visitors.
Manuel Antonio
Manuel Antonio, famous for its pristine beaches, is surrounded by tropical rainforest and possesses options for all kinds of travelers. The national park beckons with a wide variety of flora and fauna, including a colony of squirrel monkeys.
San Gerardo de Dota Cloud Forest
One of the largest cloud forests in Costa Rica, and one of the few remaining habitats for the endangered Quetzal, the holy bird of the Mayans.
Corcovado National Park – The crown jewel of Costa Rica’s national park system, it is considered to be the last significant virgin rainforest in Central America and one of the most biodiverse places on earth.
