This was a great trip! I would buy it again! It was the perfect mix of in the rainforest and on the beach, between structured activities and having the freedom to choose what we did.

Costa Rica Beach and Jungle Vacation

On this 7-day vacation from Travel by Jen, you’ll drive a manual-shift rental car between two very different Costa Rican cities: a pretty beach town and a rainforest town in the shadow of a volcano. The vacation includes:

  • Round-trip airfare from FLL, New York, Chicago, DFW, BOS, LAX, ATL, or Washington D.C.
  • 3 nights of standard accommodations at the Marriott Los Sueños Ocean & Golf Resort in Herradura
  • 3 nights of standard accommodations at the Nayara Hotel, Spa & Gardens in Arenal Volcano National Park with breakfast, outdoor showers, and volcano-view Jacuzzi hot tubs.
  • Manual car rental

Days 1–3: La Fortuna

Hop into your included rental car to make the scenic, three-hour drive to La Fortuna. This rural town stands in the shadow of Arenal Volcano, a giant stratovolcano that, until 2010, was highly active. You won’t see much lava nowadays, but Arenal’s rainforest hikes, mineral hot springs, and craggy lava fields make it well worth a visit.

  • Volcanic vents heat the many hot springs around Arenal to temperatures of up to 100 degrees. Some hot springs have been equipped with swim-up bars and water slides.
  • Go on an adventure: There are lots of opportunities for ziplining and whitewater rafting excursions, rugged hikes, and cultural tours in the region.
  • Hotel amenities: three restaurants, an outdoor pool and poolside bar, and a spa with open-air treatment rooms

Days 4–7: Herradura

Herradura overlooks a horseshoe-shaped beach of the same name—”herradura” means “horseshoe” in Spanish—with calm waters that are ideal for swimming. Those looking for bigger waves can head 6 miles south to Jacó, a popular surfing spot among locals and visitors.

  • Keep your eyes peeled for toucans, macaws, and herons in the mangrove forests of Carara National Park.
  • Eat like a local: Feast on fresh red snapper, shrimp, and lobster at the town’s many seafood restaurants.
  • Hotel amenities: six restaurants and lounges, an 18-hole golf course, outdoor swimming pools, and a spa with a steam room

Know Before You Go

  • Official language: Spanish
  • Currency: colón
  • Time difference: 1 hour (2 hours during Daylight Saving Time) behind Eastern Standard Time

The resort was amazing! Once we arrived, we didn't have to pay for anything (except tipping) because it was all included. Beautiful rooms, multiple pools & bars, & delicious restaurants!
