Costa Rica: Stillehavsrunde på 8 dager

Costa Rica

Oversikt

This loop keeps to Costa Rica's Pacific side, where a rental car makes exploring easy: a short stop in San José, then Liberia as a base for Rincón de la Vieja's volcanic hot springs and nearby national parks, before finishing with beach and surf days in Tamarindo. Costa Rica's 'pura vida' pace rewards not overpacking the schedule.

Høydepunkter

  • Rincón de la Vieja National Park's volcanic mud pools and hot springs
  • Surfing or beach time in Tamarindo
  • Watching leatherback or olive ridley turtles nest, in season
  • Costa Rica's genuinely exceptional biodiversity and birdlife

Verdt å vite

  • A rental car is the easiest way to do this route — public transport is workable but slow
  • Rainy season (May-Nov) brings strong afternoon downpours, though mornings are usually clear
  • Roads in rural Guanacaste can be rough — a 4x4 is worth the extra cost
