Beautiful Aromas, Enchanting Beaches and Delicious Food- What More?
How does surfing on the most enchanting beaches of Central America sound? Hiking in the far reaching Cloud Forests? Discovering rare birds? Smelling the odour of the freshly harvested coffee beans from Costa Rica’s fertile highlands? Delicious papayas and golden bananas are collected all over. Why wait any longer?The warm-hearted Ticos (as the residents of Costa Rica are known) are famous far past the Central American boarders for their hospitality. Here, life is enjoyed to the full.
Get to Know the Diversities of Nature
In Costa Rica you live a modern and environmentally conscious life, as about a third of this green country is a nature reserve, a large part of which are in the forms of attractive national parks. Sport fans and nature lovers coming here are guaranteed to get their moneys worth.
To personalise your holiday it is recommended to hire a car. In this way you will have the possibility to get to know the diversities of nature and discover wide open spaces. An ideal starting point for your excursion is the capital city San José. Before you go out into the wild, Costa Rica’s small capital invites you to do some ample shopping.
Dance the Night Away in the Capital
San José’s night life promises its visitors a great time. It takes place in a variety of Latin-American clubs, as well as on the streets. The Ticos will insist that you dance: But not to worry. Even if you’ve already had an introduction to salsa dancing you won’t be able to help but doing anything but moving along to the intoxicating rhythm. Salsa is addictive!
Go for a Dearing Trip to the Volcanoes
With the hire car it is possible to visit the somewhat remote volcano Arenal. This ranks as one of the most interesting and active volcanoes and is one of the most well known in Central America. The volcano’s shape is changed daily by the flowing lava. This impressive performance of nature lends itself better to a night time viewing. The volcano is not only for viewing, it gives off warmth and puts it to use in its hot springs that you should not miss on a visit to the volcano. Particularly recommended is the ‘Catarata de Fortuna’, a cascade reminiscent of a waterfall that falls down the side of a canyon into a lagoon. While having a relaxing swim you can hear monkeys bouncing from tree to tree. On top of that, large flights of butterflies appear depending on the season. Thanks to the Costa Rica’s well built road network and your rental car you can also conveniently explore the coastal regions spend the whole day relaying in a colourful hammock on a the wonderfully white beach Puerto Viejos and watch the professional suffers on the thrilling waves on one of Costa Rica’s beautiful beaches.
Water Activities
Underwater fans get their money worth too. The 13 kilometre long Mazanillo tempts snorklers and scuba divers alike with its attractive reefs.
Somewhat more peaceful is the beach of the peninsula Nocoya. The sunset here is a unique play of colours. The violet-orange sunset up against the sinking blue sky and the countless palm trees make the Pacific ambiance complete. This Central American paradise leaves nothing to be desired.
