The Central Valley of Costa Rica is renowned for its coffee plantations. As a java enthusiast, you wouldn't want to miss the opportunity to tour one of the leading coffee producers in the world, so be sure to visit a local coffee farm and uncover the journey of Costa Rican coffee from seed to cup.
Undoubtedly, Arenal stands as the most renowned of Costa Rica's volcanoes. Although it's not permitted to hike to its summit, a naturalist guide can lead you around the base to explore ancient lava flows and the native wildlife.
Arenal also boasts one of the premier zip-lining adventures in Costa Rica. Your journey begins with a scenic tram ride, offering aerial views as you ascend the mountain. At the top, you'll reach an exclusive viewpoint featuring the iconic “Hand of Arenal” sculpture, set against the stunning backdrop of Arenal Lake – a not-to-be-missed photo op; before letting loose and zipping from peak to peak, gliding along seven high-flying cables, the longest reaching over 750 metres and the highest at 200 metres, all at thrilling speeds of up to 43 miles per hour.
Three singularly beautiful beaches. Casual forest trails. And dense rainforest teaming with animal life. Welcome to Manuel Antonio. Guided hikes get you up close to lots of its more introverted creatures (Capuchin, Howler and Squirrel Monkeys, sloths, iguanas, agoutis and a multitude of bird species). But, with many others being nocturnal, the best way to seek out glowing scorpions, shy snakes, tree frogs, kinkajou and armadillo is a night tour with a guide that posseses the skills to spot critters that often elude the untrained eye.
Located just south of San José, the Central Valley stands as Costa Rica's geographical heart and its cultural and spiritual hub. Encircled by volcanoes, this region boasts scenic highland coffee plantations, such as Starbucks' Hacienda Alsacia Coffee Farm – the brand's singular coffee farm; delightful artisan towns like Sarchi; La Paz Waterfall Gardens with its diverse wildlife exhibits; and offers an excellent backdrop for activities like hiking, bird-watching, white-water rafting and canopy tours.

Costa Rica's Caribbean Coast, often overlooked, is a hidden gem with its warm waters, brilliant sunshine, swaying palms, spicy cuisine, distinctive Afro-Caribbean culture and untouched rainforests. The region exudes a relaxed vibe, enjoys a mild climate and is rich in wildlife. The Caribbean slopes of the Talamanca Mountains shelter a variety of elusive and endangered mammals such as pumas, ocelots and tayras. In the secluded Tortuguero National Park, unique birds, reptiles, and amphibians flourish, and it's celebrated for its sea turtle nesting sites. Though accessible only by boat or plane, it promises a truly unforgettable adventure.

This national park truly offers everything! Enjoy hiking to and around Costa Rica's most active volcano, which hasn't had a major eruption since 1968, zip-lining across verdant forests, embarking on natural history walks across hanging bridges and horseback riding to stunning waterfalls adorned with butterflies, blooms and diverse birdsong, including that of toucans. The park is also renowned for its hot springs, ideal for a luxurious soak following a day filled with adventure.

Stroll among the clouds at thousands of metres above sea level and soak in the misty ambiance of Monteverde Cloud Forest, a premier eco-tourism spot in Costa Rica. Spanning 26,000 acres of biological reserve, it brims with biodiversity, including over 500 bird species such as the elusive quetzal and the three-wattled bellbird, as well as jaguars, toucanets, pumas, monkeys and red-eyed tree frogs. It's also home to 420 orchid and 200 fern species, flourishing from the abundant moisture. The forest offers numerous exploration methods: eight miles of pristine hiking trails, an exhilarating skywalk, zip-lining and canopy tours.

Manuel Antonio National Park, the Central Pacific region's unrivalled attraction and likely Costa Rica's most visited tourist spot, is celebrated for being one of the smallest yet most diverse and picturesque national parks. It boasts lush forests, four breathtaking beaches and an abundance of wildlife, including tide pools teeming with crustaceans, endangered monkeys, sloths, Morpho butterflies, coatimundis, peccaries, iguanas, armadillos and various reptiles and amphibians. Its status as Costa Rica's cherished 'little' national park is well-deserved.
