Costa Rica Guides

A small surf town that stayed small, between forest and beach. Come for the wave, with the forest at your back.

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

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

The quiet end of the road past Montezuma, beside Cabo Blanco. The reserve is close, and the beach stays peaceful.

A village inside the Gandoca-Manzanillo refuge, south of Puerto Viejo. Forest and sea meet at a peaceful end of the road.

A river town in the green northern lowlands. The river is the pleasure: forest, water, and an easy morning afloat.

A valley town west of Escazú, a little lower and warmer. Green hills, an easy pace, and a pleasant place to live.

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