Ready for ten essential places to visit in Costa Rica? Last week, we featured an introduction to Costa Rica's geography and how to get around. Now we will review what you can do and where whether you want to experience anything from active adventure to just relaxation. Once again, actual travel guests photo are provided.
1) San Jose is the capital of Cost Rica where most flights arrive. Due to the early departure from San Jose of many flights, you will notice that lots of itineraries will have either a pre or post night in San Jose. What do you do there? How about a city tour and visits to the museums or visiting a nearby spa or coffee plantation? Some of my travel guests visited the convenient mall to pick up last minute souvenirs.
2) Caribbean Coast - Puerto Limon is the big port of call for many Panama Canal cruises. The big draw in Puerto Limon is the Tortugerro canals to see the wildlife. Tortugerro has kayaking and turtle nesting from July through February. Some land tours include a trip to Tortugerro and depart from San Jose (around 7am with a stop for breakfast.) You'll normally stay in a small Eco-resort/lodge for a couple of nights and return back to San Jose to pick-up the rest of your tour.
3) Central Valley cloud forest is around a one-hour ride from San Jose. This area has an elevation of 4-5,000 feet. The El Silencio Lodge & Spa offers a resort for yoga and healthy dining. You can also visit the Poas Volcano or enjoy river rafting.
4) Arenal Volcano is near the town of La Fortuna. Arenal is the one of the biggest attractions in the country. This is the place for Zip lines, thermal springs, waterfalls, horseback riding, and most of the things you've heard about in Costa Rica.
