Costa Rica Vacation with Volcanoes, Beaches, and Culture
Hit the road in your manual-shift rental car to cruise through the lush jungles of Costa Rica. Along the way, stop at Arenal Volcano, Playa Flamingo, and busy San José. This vacation includes:
- Round-trip airfare
- Manual-shift rental car
- 3-night stay in La Fortuna at GreenLagoon Falls Park & Lodge with breakfast
- 3-night stay in Playa Flamingo at Flamingo Beach Resort & Spa
- 1-night stay in San José at DoubleTree by Hilton Cariari
- Self-guided hike of Cerro Chato
Days 1–3: La Fortuna
La Fortuna is best known for its location just west of Arenal Volcano. The town got its name in 1968 when the volcano erupted, destroying everything immediately to the east but leaving La Fortuna—”the fortunate”—intact. Arenal is dormant now, but the surrounding region retains its allure, with hiking trails, fertile rain forests, and a lake that’s perfect for watersports.
- Driving distance: about 2.5 hours from SJO
- Hike to the top of Cerro Chato, a dormant volcano on the southeastern edge of Arenal Volcano National Park. The steep, well-marked trail leads to a crater filled with emerald water.
- About the hotel: GreenLagoon Falls Park & Lodge sits on an organic farm along the eastern slopes of Cerro Chato, with distant views of Arenal Volcano.
Days 4–6: Playa Flamingo
A crescent-shaped stretch of white sand, Playa Flamingo overlooks Brasilito Bay on Costa Rica’s Pacific coastline. It’s a popular jumping-off point for sportfishing excursions; fishing charters troll the deep waters for sailfish, dorado, and marlin. Playa Flamingo is also a nice spot to swim, surf, and sunbathe—it’s been designated a Blue Flag beach for its clean waters and sands.
- Driving distance: about 4 hours from La Fortuna
- Drive along the coast to Marino Las Baulas National Park to stroll Playa Grande, a white-sand beach that’s an important nesting site for leatherback turtles from October to May.
- About the hotel: Flamingo Beach Resort & Spa sits right on the shores of Playa Flamingo and boasts an ocean-view restaurant and a pool with a swim-up bar.
Days 7–8: San José and Departure
The country’s capital city is often overlooked in favor of Costa Rica’s golden-sand beaches and jungle adventures, but it’s worth a visit for its historic neighborhoods and open-air markets. Barrio Amón, one of San José’s oldest neighborhoods, is a particularly nice place to take a stroll and sample street foods, such as tamales and stuffed flatbreads called pupusas.
- Driving distance: about 4 hours from Playa Flamingo
- Quick airport access: The hotel is just a 10-minute drive from SJO.
- About the hotel: Set amid tropical gardens about 10 miles outside of San José, the colonial-style DoubleTree by Hilton Cariari features comfy rooms with Serta mattresses and warm chocolate-chip cookies in the lobby.
