Costa Rica Guides

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

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

An active crater in the park above Alajuela, worth the drive on a clear morning.

The old capital, east of San José, and the way up to Irazú.

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

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

The town beside Manuel Antonio, sportfishing fleet on the water. A pleasant base for a morning in the park.

A long beach of bigger waves, a short drive south of Jacó. A strong open beach for anyone who wants the swell.
