We suggest including some of the following unforgettable gems when you visit. Few places in the world have such a variety of weird and wonderful natural beauty.

• Arenal Volcano – Kayaking and stand-up boarding on Lake Arenal with the smoking Arenal Volcano in the distance.
• La Fortuna Waterfall – Hike through the rainforest or take a horseback ride to see the 75m high waterfall drop into the rapids below and enjoy swimming.
• Guanacaste – Swim and surf the best beaches of the “Gold Coast” on a beach hopping boat tour in the Gulf of Papagayo.
• Tortuguero National Park – Discover the jungle canals by boat, canoe or kayak and see unique animals and birdlife such as sloths, monkeys, manatees, toucans, trogons, crocodiles river turtles and the beautiful blue Morpho butterfly.
• Poas Volcano National Park – See the Poas Volcano from above on a viewing platform followed by a local lunch and a plantation and tasting tour at Doka Coffee Estate.
• Corcovado National Park – Take a boat ride from Drake Bay to Sirena Station to see dolphins and humpback whales during Aug-Oct. 2.5% of the world’s biodiversity is found here.
