Costa Rica
The main attractions in Costa Rica are the tropical forests and beaches, but there are many other adventures and activities to explore as well.
The beaches of Costa Rica are truly famous. They range from miles of isolated golden sand complete with overhanging palms and waterfalls dropping directly into the surf of Corcovado, to the relaxed black sand on the Caribbean and the resort areas of the Nicoya Peninsula. Water temperatures are perfect year round, and the weather almost always cooperates for a perfect day.
Traditional Costa Rican artisans in Guaitíl hand throw Chorotega pottery while you watch, and the wood carvers of Sarchí transform rainforest hardwoods into every imaginable shape. Drums, baskets, textiles, and pre-Columbian reproductions are just a few of the things you'll want to take home with you.
Bars and clubs are concentrated around the beach areas where people come to relax and unwind. DJ's and live music keep the dance floors hopping in Manuel Antonio, Tamarindo, and Flamingo. In the central valley, San José has lively nightlife.
