If your primary interest when visiting Costa Rica is to enjoy the relaxing enchantment of nature, you’re in good company. Most people go there to do just that and let’s just say that La Fortuna Waterfall is just the tip of the iceberg. Go there first and don’t blame us if you never want to leave.
Tamarindo Beach
If you just want to lay out on a beautiful beach, then we suggest heading to Tamarindo Beach. One of many incredible beaches in Costa Rica, it’s a tourist hotspot, and you’re sure to meet tons of interesting people while getting a suntan there.

]]>In an effort to preserve the natural surroundings, many of the hotels in Costa Rica are designed to have a light footprint on the earth, but that doesn’t mean they’re not great places to stay. On the contrary—it makes some of them even more beautiful. Here are some of our favorites.
Hotel Belmar
Wake up in the morning to see nothing but trees, start your day with a yoga class, or have a smoothie at the juice bar at this stunning hotel nestled right in the forest.
Volcano Lodge and Hotel
Swim in hot springs or take a walk through the botanical gardens at Volcano Lodge, named after Costa Rica’s Arenal Volcano which can be seen from anywhere on the property.
Blue River Resort and Hot Springs
Take a mud bath, walk through the butterfly garden, and be sure not to miss the breathtakingly blue rivers that this hotel is named for. Take a tour and go swimming, kayaking, or even horseback riding along the Rio Azul.

]]>This Spanish expression, meaning “pure life,” is a sort of national slogan for the Costa Rican people. Embodying the Costa Rican spirit and mentality, it’s a powerful phrase that tells us so much about why this country is so special.
One thing that you’ll notice when traveling around San Jose, the Costa Rican rainforests, or its beaches, is that you’ll almost never find anyone who is stressed. So, why is this? Pura Vida!
Pura vida roughly sums up a mentality that can be described as “this is living!” Costa Rica is known for being relaxed, laid-back, and optimistic, and all of these things are traits that will become readily apparent as you travel around this country.
Are you ready to give “pura vida” a try? If so, book your trip to Costa Rica soon!
