    Costa Rica is listed as one of the top 10 destinations in the world for adventurers and adrenaline lovers. The country is famous for its zip-lines (a local invention), its world-class rafting down the river Pacuare, buggy tours, kayaking, hiking and sky-trekking, to name just a few.

  • Manuel Antonio

    Manuel Antonio is the Central Pacific’s go-to destination for all things outdoors: nature hikes, snorkeling, wildlife watching, extreme adventures, and many more tours and activities. Manuel Antonio National Park is idyllic and postcard-perfect with emerald rainforests that spill onto fine sands that wash into turquoise ocean. Manuel Antonio is known for its spectacular natural beauty and Manuel Antonio National Park consistently ranks as one of the country’s most visited. Manuel Antonio is also one of Costa Rica’s hottest and friendliest destinations for LGBT travelers.

  • Puerto Viejo

    Puerto Viejo, Limon, is a small coastal town on the Caribbean Sea surrounded by the lush tropical rainforest, gorgeous light sand beaches, and a huge array of different wildlife. With a mixture of Afro Caribbean, Bri Bri Indigenous, Ticos, Americans, and Europeans alike, Puerto Viejo offers a diverse and multicultural vibe. Famous for its ‘Go Slow’ attitude, you won’t find a more laid-back town in Costa Rica. Puerto Viejo is not for everyone. You won’t find any golf courses, marinas or country clubs, and only a handful of hotels offer amenities like swimming pools or air conditioning. Puerto Viejo is more suited for the down-to-earth traveler looking for a no-frills, authentic experience.
