Airport travel guide

Arguably the most popular travel destination in Central America, Costa Rica is known for its pristine beaches, lush rainforest, and imposing volcanoes. Although sometimes overlooked for these natural riches, the national capital, San Jose, and the region that surrounds it also offer plenty of excitement and things to see and do. These are three of the most interesting experiences in and around San Jose:

  • Gold Museum. Also known as the Pre-Columbian Museum, this cultural institution features in practically every tourism booklet of San Jose, but that is only a testament to how interesting it is. Dedicated to the heritage of the many fascinating indigenous cultures that inhabited the area before the arrival of the Europeans, it has a special focus on their goldwork and jewelry. 
  • Jade Museum. If you like the aforementioned Gold Museum, you will no doubt also enjoy this fascinating place. Although the use of jade is most commonly associated with Classical China, it was also very popular with the indigenous Central American aristocracy, as showcased by the many carvings and jewelry on display here. Do keep in mind that the Jade Museum has changed its location fairly recently and while not all the maps have been updated in regard to this change, it can now be found near the Culture Square.
  • Cartago. The former capital of Costa Rica, Cartago has lost some of its political importance, but none of the charm. Home to fascinating colonial architecture, the jewel of which is the Our Lady of the Angels Basilica, the municipality is also home to the ruins of Ujarrás and natural sites like Tapantí National Park. The drive from San Jose to Cartago takes only about 40 minutes.
  • Braulio Carrillo National Park. A stunning protected area of high peaks, crater lakes, and tropical forests, Braulio Carillo is only a short drive north of the capital. There are numerous hiking trails in its territory that range in difficulty from relaxing strolls to demanding multi-day adventures. Natives of the park include the solitary eagle, great green macaw, Northern tamandua anteater, and ocelot.

Costa Rica Car rentals are very expensive compared to other countries I've been, when you include the mandatory government liability insurance and the other insurance and the current prices for renting a car, especially frequently or long term. (Many of my friends that go to Costa Rica annually buy a car instead.) But the beaches in Guanacaste are amazing, "living" in the Sámara to Nosara region was great (We stayed at Prados Del Sol) lots of wildlife. Amazing sunset beaches (Garza is very nice and doesn't have the whistle blowing guys trying to extort money to 'watch your car' like at Barrigona or Tamarindo beaches.) Lots of amazing food options - don't be scared to try the tiny sodas like O Anna's, or the bigger/fancier ones (which usually cost "America" prices but have great food.) Both Liberia and San José airports are nice and quick to pass through in either direction. The car pickup is quick and easy with a shuttle that takes you about a 5min drive to the cars. Horseback riding on the beach was a 15 minute drive from Prados del Sol, Ziplining and river boat cruise, coffee tours and so much more.

It was amazing. Even in mountains even on coast. Driving in cities is a little challenging because of motorcyclists and driving way of the locals. Also, I would recommend to be more careful driving through serpentines during the night. It’s more likely that aster the sunset, there may be fog that can make the driving process a little stressful.

We drove from San Jose to La Fortuna to enjoy the hot springs and Arenal volcano, from there we drove to Manuel Antonio to experience the coast and wildlife in that area before heading back to San Jose to fly home. It was an adventure and enjoyable experience driving through the country seeing the landscape and smaller towns while visiting sodas along the way to our destinations. In La Fortuna we stayed at Los Lagos Hotel, did adventuring activities with Desafio Adventures and visited La Fortuna waterfall. In Manuel Antonio we stayed in a beautiful Airbnb, visited the national park with a professional guide, took a Kayak tour through the Damas Mangrove with Narcarosta Company, drove to Dominical to visit the impressive Fuego Brewery, shop for souvenirs with a quick stop at Playa Linda on the way home. We enjoyed nice meals and views at Emilio's Cafe and El Avion in Manuel Antonio. We enjoyed our visits to the grocery store Super Joeseph's in Manuel Antonio on a daily basis to pick up fresh food for the meals we chose to make at our Airbnb. All in all, Costa Rica and all its people are BEAUTIFUL! Everyone we met were friendly and helpful. As a typical person from the USA, I know how annoying a tourist like me can be and I greatly appreciated the patience and helpfulness the Ticos provided me even though they must deal with it all the time.
