Bordered by Nicaragua to the north and Panama to the south, Costa Rica has coastlines on the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea.
This amazing gem is known for its beaches, mountain ranges, volcanoes and varied wildlife, Costa Rica's rich biodiversity makes it a popular destination for eco-tourism where you can enjoy the Caribbean beaches on the east and Pacific Ocean Beaches on the west. One of my favorite spots is Arenal where I enjoy hiking near the Arenal Volcano and some leisure time at one of the best Thermal Water Spas in the world. Below some of the spots that I love the most when visiting Costa Rica.
San José, the capital, is the cultural hub of the country, there are plenty of museums, art galleries, parks and dining options for visitors to choose from.
Guanacaste, a province in northwestern Costa Rica bordering the Pacific, is known for its beaches and biodiverse parkland. Its Santa Rosa National Park is home to rare dry tropical forest, surfing sites and some 250 bird species. Guanacaste's endless beaches include Playa Blanca, with its calm waters, and Playa Hermosa, popular for diving and water sports.
Beaches are many however some of my favorites are on the Pacific Coast on a journey that takes you to Puntarenas, Tàrcoles, Jacó, Quepos, Manuel Antonio and Dominical.
Hiking is a must in Costa Rica to see nature and many of the amazing volcanos across the country. Some of the most amazing volcanos are Poas, Arenal, and Irazú.
Last but not least, enjoy some exhilarating white water rafting and canopy zip lining for some adrenaline rush.
