8 of Costa Rica's most prominent tourist areas

 

Costa Rica is a natural wonder of the world thanks to its volcanoes, beaches, waterfalls, forests and abundant wildlife, while San José is home to a number of the best museums and beautiful arenas in the country, but Costa Rica's tourism treasures outside the capital are concentrated in forests and small coastal villages.

Costa Rica also owns the Caribbean Beach in the Caribbean Sea Park of Tortuguero National Aviation Park.

 

Manuel Antonio National Park

It contains vast areas of forest that provide the ideal environment for wildlife, while sandy beaches on the ocean coast offer afternoon football matches, less crowded beaches can be found within the park, and the nearby town of Manuel Antonio provides plenty of hotels and restaurants.

 

Arenal volcano

Located in the rugged Cordillera de Tellarán, one of Costa Rica's best tourist areas, the volcano's mountain is 1.633 meters long and has been dormant since 1500 until it erupted dramatically on 29 July 1968, killing 82 people and destroying two villages, and since then experiencing regular activity, so visitors may be able to see a cloud of ash or red lava.

 

Monteverde Forest

The forests near Monteverde and Santa Elena are the most popular tourist destinations in Costa Rica, providing a range of unique plants, wildlife, rare birds and other mammals, amphibians and reptiles, and the clouds that cover these forests provide the moisture needed to preserve the unique habitats of the region.

Dominical

It contains a range of beautiful beaches with trees that provide shaded places for relaxation, as well as unique opportunities for close contact with rich wildlife, and the city is decorated with fine outdoor restaurants and affordable accommodation overlooking the hills.

Tamarindo

Located on the Nicoya Peninsula, this magnificent town, once a quiet old fishing village, is a first - class tourist haven for its good accommodation, high - end restaurants and various amenities, as well as opportunities for diving, horseback riding and turtle watching.

 

Mal Bayes

It is located on the Nicoya Peninsula and is known for its beautiful high-surf coastline, which attracts surfers from all over the world, with a series of beautiful villages.

 

Jacko

The city has extensive and pleasant beaches, where visitors can enjoy a safe swim in the appropriate surf with the possibility of surfing. The area also offers good hotels, shops, restaurants and other amenities, making it a popular destination for travelers and local residents.

 

Tortugero National Park

This park, located on the Caribbean coast only by boat or plane, is one of the most humid areas in the country, so it provides a fertile environment for green sea turtle breeding, includes shores unsuitable for swimming due to waves and strong currents, and the presence of sharks is very common in this area.

 

Costa Rica is the favorite destination for bird watchers and travelers looking for pride, as well as surfers and travelers. The busy city of San José is home to the country's best museums and beautiful arenas, but real treasures lie outside the capital, in forests and small coastal villages.
