A fun food court right off of the beach for a fun and delicious bite to eat.
Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve

Guanacaste Province
Guanacaste: a province in the northwest of Costa Rica with countless beaches to discover within driving distance of one another. Good spots to visit: Playa Flamingo, Playa Conchal, Playa Tamarindo, Playas del Coco, Las Catalinas, Playa Samara, and Playa Hermosa.
Playa Samara
We mentioned this one already, but this is one of our favorite places in the world! It's a small, beautiful beach town on the edge of the jungle with amazing people, good food, and stunning beaches.
La Fortuna
A bustling jungle town known for its close to the Arenal Volcano and lots of adventurous activities. It's a popular destination for ziplining, white water rafting, and hiking, as well as relaxing in natural hot springs heated by the volcano.
Manuel Antonio National Park
Manuel Antonio National Park: one of the most beautiful beaches in the country. Great for seeing wildlife up close (monkeys will steal your stuff)!
Río Celeste
Rio Celeste: beautiful spot near La Fortuna where two rivers meet and the water turns bright Cyan.
Tortuguero
A small coastal town on the Caribbean side. Great for watching sea turtles lay eggs and for taking kayak tours in the surrounding national park.
Puerto Viejo de Talamanca
A beach town on the Caribbean side. Recommend visiting Refugio Nacional Gandoca-Manzanillo and Parque Nacional Cahuita.
