How To Pick a Destination in Costa Rica

The top Costa Rica vacation packages feature the ā€œbig ticketā€ names like Manuel Antonio, the Arenal Volcano area, and Guanacaste.

These areas are famous for their world-class resorts, boutique hotels, adventure, and nature. With their postcard panoramas, year-round great climate and a plethora of activities, these locations not only amaze new visitors but keep seasoned travelers coming back for more.

Each area offers something unique. Combining two destinations is a great way of satisfying everyone’s cravings and getting the best of Costa Rica.

With a travel consultant that knows the country personally, it’s easy to find a combo that works and brings out the best in the country.

Natural Wonders

Natural Wonders

Nature lovers coming to Costa Rica are in for a treat!

Birdwatchers’ hot spots are Monteverde, the Osa Peninsula, and the Tortuguero National Park. Hikers can head to Arenal, the Rincón de la Vieja, or any number of other beautiful national parks.

Watch out for all kinds of monkeys, butterflies, lizards, and insects. If you want to see wildlife and stay near the beach, choose the Manuel Antonio area on the Central Pacific coast.

Sloths, scarlet macaws, toucans, colorful frogs, turtles, and many other animals abound in some of these areas, ready for a camera shot!

Beachfront Getaways and All-Inclusive Resorts

Costa Rica translates to ā€œRich Coast,ā€ and it’s named like that for a reason.

The white-sand beaches backed by verdant rainforests have a real beauty which makes them the most popular destinations in Costa Rica.

The luxurious resorts and all-inclusive hotels of the Guanacaste coast are perfect for a week-long relaxing vacation and indulgence in extravagance.

Surfers and yoga practitioners have their haven on the remote beaches of the Nicoya Peninsula. Here boutique hotels have a laid-back atmosphere focused on wellness and connection with nature outside.

If you like fishing, anglers have a place to dock as well. The Los SueƱos Resort near Jaco and the town of Quepos near Manuel Antonio are both home to great marinas for anyone seeking a day of inshore or offshore adventure. 

Choosing the best travel packages to Costa Rica doesn’t have to be difficult. The best package is the one with everything you want to do in it.

Visit iconic locations, enjoy great excursions, and experience Costa Rica’s hospitality and natural beauty. Unwind, explore, and enjoy the best of Costa Rica in your own style!
