Costa Rican Adventures

Excellent surfing spots, lush tropical forests, and bustling cityscapes abound during this Costa Rican vacation from Travel by Jen. Your journey will begin by hiking and wildlife spotting in La Fortuna near the Arenal Volcano before moving on to Coco Beach, where the nightlife is full of excitement. Finally, you’ll end with a stop in the capital city of San José for a taste of city life. This vacation includes:

  • Round-trip airfare
  • Three nights of standard accommodations at Montaña de Fuego in La Fortuna
  • Three nights of standard accommodations at Coco Beach Hotel in Guanacaste
  • One night of standard accommodations at Best Western Irazú in San Jose
  • Automatica economy car
  • Choice of two included tours: horseback riding, canopy tour, or safari float
  • Daily breakfast at all hotels
  • Unlimited access to on-site hot spring pools at Montana de Fuego

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.

  • Eat like a local: Order a side of gallo pinto, or traditional rice and beans, named for its speckled appearance (gallo pinto is Spanish for “spotted rooster”).
  • Lake Arenal is a picturesque spot to take a boat ride, go windsurfing or kayaking, and fish for rainbow bass with a view of the volcano.
  • Take a soak in one of the many hot springs in Arenal Volcano National Park. Geothermal activity heats the water to a steamy 100 degrees in some places.

Guanacaste

The Guanacaste province is nestled on the Nicaraguan border along the Pacific Ocean. The area is sparsely populated, but still attracts many tourists. Playa del Coco, for instance, may have started out as a humble fishing village, but is now known as a top party destination. Lively nightlife and beach life intermix along the white-grey sands of the horseshoe bay.

  • Explore the water: The area is known for its world-class sport fishing, scuba diving, and snorkeling.
  • Marino Las Baulas National Park: Just north of Tamarindo, this park is the largest nesting ground for leatherback turtles, which come ashore to lay their eggs from October to May.
  • Rincón de la Vieja National Park: Hike through the jungle for stunning views of rushing waterfalls and abundant wildlife.

San José

In San José, you’ll find a wealth of cultural attractions. Stop by the Jade Museum to learn the history of the precious green gem, or visit the Gold Museum to see priceless gold artifacts from the pre-Colombian era. After dark, the city comes to life with live jazz and salsa groups playing in nightclubs until the wee hours.

  • Teatro Nacional: Admire the theater’s imposing neoclassical façade and gilded interior.
  • See historical monuments at the Parque Nacional, which salute figures from national poets to freedom fighters.
  • Ruinas de Ujarrás: Located an hour from downtown, this remote spot boasts the remains of one of the oldest churches in Costa Rica, which was originally built in the 1580s.

This was an amazing deal. Redeeming the deal was very easy. We worked with someone to get us on the best flight possible. She was very professional. We fell like royalty from the time we landed in Jamaica to the time we got picked up to return home. Decameron in Jamaica was GREAT! The staff was very friendly. They had great daily activities. We enjoyed a very authentic Afro Jamaican group .
