Costa Rica has something for everyone. From hiking in rainforests and mountains, relaxing on beaches, to snorkeling through tropical reefs and surfing some of the the best waves in Central America, Costa Rica is a natural wonderland.
With both a Pacific and Caribbean coast, there are plenty of beaches in Costa Rica. Some developed for tourism while others are remote and rarely visited.Puerto Viejo de Talamanca—Reggae provides the backbeat along the beaches and main street of this Caribbean village. Peppery fresh fish dishes, coconut curries, and fragrant spiced breads fill your plate. Sloths, monkeys, and birds abound in Cahuita National Park and Gandoca-Manzanillo National Wildlife Refuge up and down the coast respectively.
