Alternatively, La Fortuna is another popular tourist spot, famous for the Arena Volcano National Park. Costa Rica is all about nature. If you're visiting this lush country, you'll want to visit some of its gorgeous natural parks, like the Manuel Antonio National Park, the Arenal Volcano National Park, or Monteverde and the Cloud Forests.

    The best way to get around Costa Rica is by bus. Buses are reliable, navigable, inexpensive, and you can pick up many services in the capital, San Jose. It's safer and easier to get around by bus rather than driving yourself, as there are many potholes and confusing intersections.
  • Is renting a car recommended for exploring Costa Rica?

    Renting a 4x4 vehicle is highly recommended, especially if you plan on venturing beyond the main tourist areas. Many roads, particularly in the rainforest, are unpaved and require a vehicle with good ground clearance. Public transport is available but can be limited in some areas.

    Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) in San José and Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport (LIR) in Liberia are the two largest international airports in Costa Rica.
  • Are there any unwritten rules of behaviour visitors should know about Costa Rica?

    It's considered polite to greet people with a 'Buenos días' (good morning), 'Buenas tardes' (good afternoon), or 'Buenas noches' (good evening). Learning a few basic Spanish phrases is always appreciated. Respect for the environment and wildlife is crucial; stay on marked trails and avoid disturbing animals.
  • What local specialties should you try in Costa Rica?

    Gallo pinto (rice and beans) is a staple breakfast dish. Casado (a traditional lunch plate) typically includes rice, beans, meat, salad, and plantains. Try fresh tropical fruits like mango, pineapple, and papaya. Olla de carne (beef stew) is a hearty and flavorful option.
  • Where are the best shopping spots in Costa Rica?

  • What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Costa Rica?

    Underestimating the distances between destinations and not allowing enough travel time is a common mistake. Not packing appropriate clothing and footwear for various activities and weather conditions is another. Failing to learn basic Spanish phrases can also make communication more challenging.
  • What are some hidden gems to explore in Costa Rica?

    Corcovado National Park, in the Osa Peninsula, is known for its incredible biodiversity but is less visited than other parks. Barra del Colorado Wildlife Refuge offers excellent opportunities for wildlife spotting, including jaguars.
