I have fond memories of my 2 trips to Costa Rica. The jungles are incredible. The beaches are sparkly. The forests are lush. The waterfalls cascade through the cliffs and mountains. The volcanoes are active and biodiversity is spectacular. Costa Rica has an astonishing diversity of unreal places to visit. This beautiful country is a traveler’s eco-touristic paradise, where sloths s-l-o-w-l-y make their way through forest canopies and monkeys swing through trees. BEWARE…LOL!
National Geographic describes Costa Rica as ‘the most biologically intense place on the planet’ and you will notice how true this is as we explore this amazing country.
It’s not hard to fall in love with Costa Rica’s relaxed Pura Vida philosophy. It’s not just a catchphrase, it’s a way of life.
HERE’S THE PLAN FOR THE NEXT 2 VIRTUAL TOURS:
We have scheduled 2 different Virtual Travel Events from different regions of the world. Each night, we’ll use Zoom Video Conferencing to present the destinations along with delicious recipes for entrees, appetizers, desserts and beverages from each region.
Join us and you will be inspired by these amazing destinations, with fun and laughter along the way.
A Few Places to Visit in Costa Rica
Manuel Antonio National Park
Manuel Antonio is one of Costa Rica’s prized jewels. Howler, squirrel, spider and white faced monkeys all inhabit the park. And they are certain to grab your food if it is left out in the open. So be alert…it can be a bit startling! LOL!! Just have your camera ready to capture the moment unless you are the target!! :>
Two-toed and three-toed sloths are abundant as are raccoons, coatis, pacas, anteaters, and occasionally ocelots. There are many reptiles including crocodiles, iguanas, boa constrictors and many lizards. Over 350 bird species have been identified within the park including toucans, aracaris, various parrots and parakeets, hummingbirds, trogons and more. Wildlife is everywhere and not just in protected areas.
So be prepared for some wildlife paparazzi moments!
As you stroll through the park, you’ll also see some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Did you know Costa Rica is a surfer’s paradise?
Arenal Volcano – La Fortuna
When you imagine a volcano you picture Arenal. It’s the perfect cone shape volcano with beautiful hiking trails all around. This is what makes Arenal one of the most popular tourist destinations in Costa Rica. The small town La Fortuna is located at the base of Arenal.
Native Animals of Costa Rica
Fun Fact: Did you know that there are more than 500,000 animal and plant species in Costa Rica, making the nation one of the 20 most biodiverse countries in the world. For this reason, it is an incredible place to come and see unique and abundant wildlife, the 32 national parks, 51 wildlife refuges, 13 forest reserves, and eight biological reserves.
I can tell you first hand that the opportunity to encounter native animals is quite high! You never know when one will pop in front of you or you’ll see one in a tree. I came across these animals (see pictures above) in Manuel Antonio National Park. So definitely keep your eyes peeled to enjoy the vast natural wonders of this magical place.
Costa Rica is for the Thrill Seeker!
Get ready for some adventure! Whether it is zip lining through the canyons, white water rafting on the Pacuare River, driving across Guanacaste on an ATV, walking across the many hanging bridges, kayaking in Manuel Antonio National Park or horseback riding in the Orosi Valley…there is something for everyone!
Costa Rican Cuisine!
There are so many delicious dishes that are a must-try when visiting Costa Rica. Traditional Costa Rican food is hearty, savory and always satisfying…kind of like grandma’s home cooking with a flavor-bursting Latin flare!
With jaw-dropping landscapes, friendly locals, and epic adventures to be had, it’s no wonder why tourists flock to Costa Rica. You won’t be the only one seeking the waterfalls, volcanoes and amazing surf in this Central American gem.
