Beyond its famous rainforests and wildlife, you’ll discover towering volcanoes, idyllic Caribbean and Pacific beaches, rushing rivers, misty cloud forests and charming mountain towns – all within just a few hours’ drive of each other.

Adventure seekers can soar through the rainforest on exhilarating zipline courses, paddle along peaceful rivers and mangrove forests by kayak, raft exciting white-water rapids or hike to spectacular waterfalls hidden deep within the jungle. Arenal Volcano is one of the country’s most iconic sights, while Poás and Irazú offer the chance to explore volcanic craters and dramatic landscapes.
