Costa Rica Guides

The Caribbean port, with a working waterfront. Beaches and Tortuguero are the good trips that start just outside town.

A long left point south of Golfito. The ride lasts minutes, and surfers gladly come a long way for it.

Calm bays on a resort peninsula, about half an hour from the Liberia airport.

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

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

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

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

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