Costa Rica Guides

A coffee valley south of Cartago, with a colonial church and a loop road.

The gate to Pavones, and a sportfishing port on the Golfo Dulce. Boats, the gulf, and the road on to the point.

The town in front of the whale-tail beach. You walk the sandbar only at low tide.

The capital. The center is a pleasure: theater, museums, and the market, a good first or last night.

A small fishing bay, 45 minutes from Liberia. The swim is long, and the beach stays easygoing.

The long beach north of Tamarindo, where leatherbacks nest. Wide, peaceful sand across the estuary from town.

The north shore of Lake Arenal, volcano across the water. A wide, peaceful view, and a fine place to stay.

A surf town on a dirt road, easy for a first lesson. The beach at the end of the drive is the reward.
