8-Night Costa Rica Vacation

On this 8-night vacation in Costa Rica, you’ll get to explore the country’s rich biodiversity at your own pace in a rental car. Start at the world-renowned Arenal Volcano and explore the surrounding rainforest, then spend 3 nights near the beach and gorgeous Manuel Antonio National Park. The trip ends in the mountains just outside the capital city of San Jose. This vacation includes:

  • Round-trip airfare from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) (alternate departure dates/gateways may be available for additional fee)
  • Manual car rental
  • 3 nights at Volcano Lodge & Springs in Fortuna, with breakfast and free access to onsite hot springs
  • 3 nights at Hotel Costa Verde in Puntarenas
  • Guided tour of Manuel Antonio National Park (transportation included)
  • 2 nights at Hotel La Condesa near San Jose, with breakfast

Arenal Volcano and Natural Hot Springs

Arenal was once Costa Rica’s most active volcano. Though it still smokes and rumbles, activity has been decreasing steadily over the years, allowing safe access to the fertile rainforests and whitewater rapids in the volcano’s vicinity. There are a number of natural hot springs in the area, such as those at your hotel, the Volcano Lodge & Springs. Access to the hot springs is included with this deal.

The hotel, which sits at the base of the volcano, offers a variety of tours to explore the landscape. You can take a waterfall hike, go whitewater rafting through Class II and III rapids, or catch sight of monkeys, sloths, and tropical birds on a boat ride to the Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge.

Manuel Antonio National Park: White-Sand Beaches and Diverse Wildlife

Though it’s one of Costa Rica’s smallest national parks, Manuel Antonio National Park also happens to be one of the world’s most beautiful. Set on the country’s Pacific coast, the park boasts white-sand beaches surrounded by rainforests supporting an amazing diversity of life. More than 100 different types of mammals and nearly 200 species of birds can be found here, and many of them can be glimpsed along the park’s highly touted hiking trails.

Tucked between Manuel Antonio National Park and the ocean, the Hotel Costa Verde features three cliffside pools, onsite spa services, and four restaurants, including one located inside an old airplane. Each guest room has a balcony with views of the coastline or rainforest canopy.

Tamales and Open-Air Markets in San Jose

Though San Jose is the capital city and cultural center of Costa Rica, travelers often just pass through the airport here so they can get to the coastal beaches and jungles further afield. Consequently, San Jose is one of Costa Rica’s best-kept secrets. Take a walking tour of Barrio Amón, one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods, and you can sample street food such as tamales and pupusas (stuffed flatbread) and see old colonial architecture, or browse the many open-air markets.

Just 25 minutes from downtown San Jose, the Mediterranean-style Hotel La Condesa is situated in the mountains at about 5,700 feet above sea level. You can dine al fresco onsite, or cruise into San Jose for some local flavor. <p>
