Costa Rica Guides

Hills on the west side of San José, with restaurants and a quieter night than downtown.

The cone is the view above La Fortuna. The hot springs make the night as good as the view.

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

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

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

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

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

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