Costa Rica’s Endless Adventures
If you find yourself asking, “What can I do in Costa Rica?”, consider the following opportunities: observe hundreds of exotic species of wildlife in Monteverde (home to Costa Rica's lush Cloud Forest Reserve), witness Arenal Volcano erupt (and if you missed it today, you can catch it tomorrow! Arenal erupts daily), soak in the Tabacon Hot Springs or embark on white water rafting adventures in the Central Valley. For a slower-paced vibe in the spirit of the local “pura vida” way, practice yoga among avid surfers in the Osa Peninsula known for remote beaches and diverse wildlife or head to Uvita to lounge on an exclusive hilltop lodge perched overlooking Marino Ballena National Park, one of the best places to see the migrating Humpback whales. Costa Rica is also a nature photographer’s paradise. With over 615 wildlife species and 25% of its land protected, you are essentially guaranteed to witness a visit from a monkey or see the nesting habitat of sea turtles. Imagine doing all of this from the comfort of exclusive boutique properties either nestled in the mountains amongst the wildlife and rainforest or overlooking the ocean.

Travel Guide
Costa Rica can be easily paired with its Central American neighbors and countries like Nicaragua and Panama, both of which offer complementary experiences to a “pura vida” getaway. These destinations have long been favorites of the international surfing community, and are now topping the list of travelers worldwide. A trip to Costa Rica can easily be combined with a visit to Panama City and its iconic canal, followed by a stay on Isla Palenque, a private island resort in the Gulf of Chiriqui, Panama with unspoiled scenery that feels nearly undiscovered. Northern Costa Rica pairs well with Nicaragua where you can either enjoy remote beach experiences or more active adventures exploring volcanoes near colonial Granada.
All US carriers offer expansive nonstop service into Costa Rica, either via the capital city of San Jose or Liberia, located in the northwestern part of the country and the ideal entry point for Pacific Coast beaches.
