Top 10 Things to Do in Costa Rica ● The Best Tourist Destination
Best Places to Stay in Costa Rica,
Top Things To Do in Northern Costa Rica,
Back in the late ‘90s, when it was still emerging as a world-renowned ecotourism hotspot, Costa Rica (link sends e-mail)
was my first trip abroad as an adult. As a budding nature lover, my mind was blown by all of the different things to do in
Costa Rica, not to mention the remarkably rich biodiversity of its wilderness.
On my first 10-day visit I only had a chance to explore a few of the country’s 27 national parks, 58 wildlife refuges, 32
protected zones, 15 wetland areas, 11 forest reserves and 8 biological reserves. But I was astounded by the plentiful wildlife
in Costa Rica– four types of Monkeys, two kinds of Sloths, the inquisitive White-Nosed Coatis, the bizarre Baird’s Tapir,
Caiman, Crodociles, and so many different species of birds, frogs and butterflies that I lost count.
As fascinating as all the animal action was, I was even more impressed by the locals, who are affectionately known as ticos
(or ticas, in the feminine form). Ticos are known for their happy disposition and pura vida philosophy, which emphasizes a
love of the “pure life”– good food, good friends, and savoring the beauty of the world around you. Their friendly smiles and
gracious hospitality warm my heart even now.
I’ve returned to the country several times in the 20 years since my first visit, sharing my deep love of the country with my wife
and daughter. Here are my picks for the top 10 things to do on a Costa Rica tour:
1. Bask on the Beaches
2. Birdwatching in Monteverde
3. Explore Tortuguero National Park
4. Explore Tortuguero National Park
5. Hike Corcovado National Park
6. Monkey Around in Manuel Antonio National Park
7. See Sloths Up Close
8. Soak in Rejuvenating Hot Spings
9. Snorkel Cano Island
10. Whitewater Rafting on the Pacuare River
Monteverde, Costa Rica
Monteverde is one of the must visit places in Costa Rica with its lush cloud forests, abundant bird watching, crazy ziplining and unique trees and plants. We visited Monteverde for 10 days this March 2017, see our adventures in the cloud forest.
Places we visited: Santa Elena, Curi-Cancha Reserve, Monteverde Cloud Forest Biological Reserve, Santa Elena Cloud Forest, Bajos del Tigre Children's Eternal Rain Forest

What to Do in Monteverde, Costa Rica | Travel Guide
WHAT TO DO:
Monteverde is one of the beautiful parts of Costa Rica. Only a three to four hour drive from San Jose, Monteverde is known as the “jewel in the crown of cloud forest reserves.” If you only have one weekend to spend in Montevede, try to spend a full day in Selvatura Adventure Park. It is recommended to see the hummingbirds, tour around the famous hanging bridges, and then zip-line around the rainforest. Tip: the tarzan and superman rides are optional, but you should definitely try them out! The second day can be spent by going to Monteverde Cloud Forest Biological Reserve or exploring downtown Monteverde.
WHERE TO STAY:
Casa Batsu:
This charming AirBnb is owned by a Costa Rican family - Carlos, Paula and their two children Tiago and Daniel. Our host Carlos is friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. The rooms are comfortable, but the shared communal space is definitely the main attraction. Whats not to love about stained glass windows, a beautiful garden, and daily gourmet breakfasts?
WHAT TO EAT:
Here are some of the restaurants that we really enjoyed:
- Restaurante Celajes at Hotel Belmar
- Rancho Lelo
- Tree House Restaurant and Cafe
