The Best Things to Do in Costa Rica: Surfing, Rainforests, and Treehouse Hotels
14.11.2024 - 23:15 / cntraveler.com
Coming in at just under 20,000 square miles (that’s 20-percent smaller than West Virginia) Costa Rica packs an incredible array of things to see and do into a small area. Nestled between Nicaragua and Panama it has long Pacific and Atlantic ocean-facing coasts, volcanos, and rainforests galore. People are drawn there to hike and explore, surf, take a yoga retreat, eat fresh food, and reconnect with nature. It really is one of the best places on the planet to do all of those things, and to see rare wildlife. Here are some of our top picks for this Central American gem.
The active but currently dormant Arenal Volcano is surrounded by verdant rainforests.
Located in the northwest of the country in the Alajuela province, the Arenal Volcano is a great place to start. This active (but currently dormant) volcano is surrounded by lush rainforest. The town of La Fortuna acts as a great hub for all the things you might do in the area, but if you want a really special experience, book yourself a stay at Tabacón Thermal Resort and Spa. It’s a luxurious experience, complete with cascading thermal waterfalls and hot springs, all heated naturally by the volcano itself. It features gorgeous rooms with rainforest views and a high-end culinary experience.
If you grew up with Robinson Crusoe dreams, Costa Rica is a mandatory visit. There are dozens of incredible treehouse hotels all over the country, often with canopy views of wildlife in the rainforests. Some of them are extremely well appointed, too, so you can lounge on your porch with a nice coffee while a troop of monkeys pass through or a flock of brightly colored parrots alight just feet away. Hidden Canopy Treehouses Boutique Hotel in Monteverde is a favorite. It’s tucked away in a cloud forest at an elevation of 5,000 feet, surrounded by waterfalls, and the secluded bed and breakfast style treehouses offer an immersive and intimate nature experience.
You’re likely to see tapirs, sloths, monkeys, caiman, toucans, and much more at Corcovado National Park.
Hailed by National Geographic as “the most biologically intense place on Earth,” this national park is a bucket-list item for any nature lover. Down in the stunning, secluded Osa Peninsula, the park contains cloud forests, montane forests, prairies, wetlands, mangroves, and even oceanic habitats. The biodiversity in the flora and fauna is simply unparalleled. You’re likely to see tapirs, sloths, monkeys, caiman, toucans, and much more. There aren’t any hotels or lodges within the park (though you can sleep in bunk beds at the Sirena ranger station if you don’t mind roughing it), and a guide is highly recommended, but booking a tour is affordable and will be an experience you’ll never forget.

The Best Skiing in Utah, from Deer Valley to Sundance Mountain
If you’ve experienced Utah's best skiing before and are in on the now not-so-secret handshake, you know that some of best skiing in the world is only 45 minutes away from Salt Lake City International Airport. (That means you can take a 7 a.m. flight from New York's JFK, land at 10:30-ish and be on the mountain by 1 p.m.) That and the state’s maxim—The Greatest Snow On Earth—broadcasted on every souvenir item possible isn’t overselling how preposterously light and fluffy the powder is here, or how much of it falls annually (up to 500 inches).
