Costa Rica Guides

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

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

A calm bay near Playas del Coco, half an hour from Liberia. The point holds a gentle, easy swim.

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

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

A small town at the end of a dirt road, with a beach and waterfalls.

A small fishing bay, 45 minutes from Liberia. The swim is long, and the beach stays easygoing.

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