Costa Rica Guides

A south Caribbean surf town, with reef close to shore. A lively base for food, surf, and the beaches just south.

A marina at Herradura, made for sportfishing. Boats, a handsome bay, and hills behind the docks.

Cloud forest you can walk into: tall trees, vines, moss, and mist. A rich walk, and the reason to come.

A boat-in bay on the Osa, for Corcovado and Caño Island. Arriving by boat is half the pleasure.

A working beach town: fishing fleet, dive boats, and gray sand. The boats give the bay its life.

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

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

Restaurants and rooms a few minutes from the Juan Santamaría airport. An easy, comfortable night before an early flight.
