Costa Rica Guides

Coffee towns and forest on the roads above the city, cooler than the valley floor.

A small town west of the lake, for the blue water at Río Celeste.

The old capital, east of San José, and the way up to Irazú.

A valley town east of Cartago, for the Pacuare and a quieter cone.

A small beach town with a dirt main street and calm water for a swim.

Hotels in the forest above the park, for the beaches and the animals.

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

A valley town with mild air, coffee farms, and green hills all around. An easy, pleasant place to slow down.
