Business travelers can stop in the urban corporate hotels, while those traveling for pleasure can stay in a cute boutique hotel or bed and breakfast. 
  • What are some must-do activities?

    Ziplining through the rainforest canopy is a classic Costa Rican adventure. White-water rafting on the Pacuare River is thrilling, while surfing lessons in Tamarindo are a popular choice.

  • When is the ideal time to visit?

    The dry season (December to April) offers the best weather for most activities, with sunshine and lower humidity. However, it's also peak tourist season, so expect higher prices and more crowds. The green season (May to November) has more rain, but also fewer tourists and lower prices. It's still possible to enjoy many activities, and the landscapes are lush and vibrant.
  • What are the best family friendly hotels in Costa Rica?

  • What are the best places to visit in Costa Rica?

    If you're visiting Costa Rica for the first time, then Manuel Antonio is a good place to start. It's one of the country's most popular destinations due to its beautiful beaches and surrounding nature, and cute sloths. 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. For beaches, head over to Dominical, Tamarindo, Jaco, and Mal Pais and Santa Teresa. If you're looking for museums and culture, then stop by the capital of San Jose.
  • Which neighborhoods or areas are best for spending a week?

    La Fortuna (near Arenal Volcano) offers a great mix of adventure activities and relaxation. Tamarindo is perfect for beach lovers and surfers. Monteverde is ideal for nature enthusiasts and those seeking a cooler climate in the cloud forest. For a more cultural experience, San José provides access to museums, theaters, and vibrant nightlife. Manuel Antonio is great for those who want a combination of beach and rainforest.
  • What are the best pet friendly hotels in Costa Rica?

  • What is the local food in Costa Rica like?

    For breakfast, try Gallo Pinto, a rice dish mixed with black beans, served with natilla (sour cream), scrambled eggs and fried plantain. Casados, a rice and bean dish, is often served for lunch with some meat or fish and a salad with fried plantains, white cheese and corn tortilla. Arroz con pollo, rice with chicken, is another commonly served dish, often served with local vegetables like yucca, chayote, and camote. Try arroz con leche, a local and traditional rice pudding from Costa Rica.
  • Which parts are perfect for a weekend getaway?

    If you're short on time, consider a weekend trip to Pacuare River Lodge for white-water rafting, or to Manuel Antonio National Park for beautiful beaches and wildlife viewing. The Poás Volcano National Park and nearby Doka Estate Coffee Plantation make for a fantastic nature and coffee-focused weekend. Alternatively, explore the beaches and nightlife of Jaco.
  • What are the best hotels with jacuzzi in Costa Rica?

  • How easy is it to get around in Costa Rica without a car?

    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?

    Renting a car can be beneficial for exploring at your own pace, especially if you plan to visit multiple locations. However, the roads can be challenging in some areas, and driving can be stressful. Public transportation and organized tours are also viable options, depending on your itinerary and preferences. Consider your comfort level with driving in unfamiliar conditions and the type of experiences you're seeking.
  • What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Costa Rica?

    Tifakara Boutique Hotel & Birding Oasis, Hotel El Silencio Del Campo and Parador Nature Resort And Spa are among the best hotels with a swimming pool in Costa Rica.

  • Are credit cards widely accepted?

    Credit cards are accepted in most tourist areas, especially larger hotels, restaurants, and shops. However, it's always a good idea to carry some colones (CRC), especially in smaller towns and rural areas, as some smaller businesses may only accept cash.
  • What are the largest airports?

    Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) near San José is the main international airport. Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport (LIR) in Liberia serves the Guanacaste region, offering easier access to the Pacific beaches.
  • Are there any unwritten rules of behavior visitors should know about?

    Costa Ricans are known for their 'pura vida' lifestyle, emphasizing relaxation and friendliness. Learning a few basic Spanish phrases is appreciated. Being respectful of the environment and wildlife is crucial. It's also polite to be punctual for appointments and to dress modestly when visiting religious sites.
  • What local specialties should you try?

    Gallo pinto (rice and beans) is a staple breakfast dish. Casado is a hearty lunch plate with rice, beans, meat, salad, and plantains. Try the fresh seafood, especially ceviche. Olla de carne is a flavorful beef stew. And don't forget to sample the delicious Costa Rican coffee.
  • Where are the best shopping spots?

    San José offers a variety of shopping options, from upscale malls like Multiplaza Escazú to local markets like Mercado Central. In tourist areas like Tamarindo and Manuel Antonio, you'll find shops selling souvenirs, handicrafts, and clothing. For unique artisan crafts, explore smaller towns and villages.
  • What signature events or festivals take place?

    The Festival de la Luz (Festival of Lights) in San José is a vibrant parade with elaborate floats. Many towns and cities celebrate their patron saint's day with colorful festivals and religious processions. Specific dates vary annually, so checking a local calendar closer to your travel dates is recommended.
  • What’s the best place for mild and comfortable weather?

    The Central Valley, including San José and surrounding areas, generally offers a mild and comfortable climate year-round, with temperatures averaging between 15-25°C. The higher elevations of the cloud forests also provide cooler temperatures.
  • What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make?

    Underestimating travel times between destinations is a common mistake. Not packing appropriate clothing for varied climates (rain gear in the green season, layers for higher elevations) is another. Failing to learn basic Spanish phrases can also limit interactions. And finally, neglecting to plan for potential insect bites and taking precautions against them is a frequent oversight.
  • What are some hidden gems to explore?

    The Corcovado National Park in the Osa Peninsula is a remote and incredibly biodiverse area. The Tenorio Volcano National Park, with its stunning Rio Celeste river, is another lesser-known gem. The beaches and wildlife of the Barra del Colorado Wildlife Refuge are also worth exploring for a more off-the-beaten-path experience.
