Exploring Costa Rica: Top 3 Must-See Destinations
Costa Rica is a spectacular country brimming with natural wonders, making it difficult to choose what to explore during your visit. After traveling extensively across this paradise, I've identified the top three destinations that promise unforgettable experiences.
1. Nauyaca Falls and the Don Lulu Tour
Located between the surfing haven of Dominical and the bustling city of San Isidro de General, the breathtaking Nauyaca Falls are a must-see. The best way to explore these privately-owned waterfalls is through the Don Lulu Tour, an adventure that includes a horseback ride, breakfast, and lunch for just $40 per person.
Your journey begins on the highway as you mount your horse and embark on a three-mile trek to the falls. Along the way, you'll stop at Don Lulu’s charming tico-style home for a traditional Costa Rican breakfast featuring fresh fruit and gallo pinto. Afterward, continue with a short ride to the falls' entrance. Descend a hand-cut stairway to witness one of Costa Rica’s most astonishing natural attractions.
The falls boast two levels: an upper cascade towering over 500 feet and a lower, 100-foot-wide cascade that plunges into a serene 30-foot-deep pool. Adventurous guides will assist you in climbing the lower falls for a thrilling leap into the refreshing waters below. After swimming and relaxing by this Costa Rican gem, return to Don Lulu’s for a delicious lunch before concluding the tour.
2. Arenal Volcano and Lake
In the north-central region of Costa Rica, Arenal Volcano majestically overlooks Lake Arenal. Known for its frequent eruptions and vibrant nighttime lava displays, this is Costa Rica’s most active volcano. In 1968, a significant eruption buried the old town of Arenal, leading to the creation of the country’s largest lake.
Lake Arenal is renowned for world-class rainbow bass fishing, with local guides available to show you the best spots. This lake also attracts windsurfing enthusiasts from around the globe. The area offers a range of accommodations, from luxury resorts like Tabacon Hot Springs to budget-friendly options. Don't miss the exhilarating canopy tours that let you zip over the rainforest. Arenal offers a unique blend of natural beauty and adventure, making it a must-visit destination.
3. Manuel Antonio National Park
Manuel Antonio National Park is the crown jewel of Costa Rica’s national parks. Located just south of Quepos, it’s easily accessible from San José. Despite being one of the smallest parks, it attracts more visitors than any other in the country.
Manuel Antonio features pristine beaches framed by lush emerald mountains that plunge into the deep blue Pacific. Due to its popularity, visitor numbers are limited to 600 on weekdays and 800 on weekends. On any given day, you might spot three species of monkeys, sloths, ocelots, river otters, and over 200 bird species. Often considered Costa Rica’s most beautiful beaches, Manuel Antonio offers breathtaking scenery and rich biodiversity.
Originally discovered by Ponce de Leon in 1519, this park feels like the garden of Eden and offers a truly magical experience?"a must-see on your Costa Rican adventure.
These top three destinations showcase the stunning beauty and rich culture of Costa Rica, guaranteeing memories that will last a lifetime.
