Costa Rica Vacation Packages

Flying into the capital city of San Jose tends to be cheaper, but Liberia is considerably closer to both Arenal and Monteverde, as well as Guanacaste’s beaches. With so much to see on your vacation, renting a car is a smart idea, but be warned, road signage is limited. Weather-wise, winter and spring are the best times to go. But if you don’t mind your rainforests with a little rain, rates tend to be cheaper from May through October.

Despite being sunny, dry, and stunningly beautiful all year long, Costa Rica's Guanacaste region remains pleasantly uncrowded. Its 400 miles of Pacific Coast boasts both white and black-sand beaches, while much of the inland area consists of both tropical dry forests and rainforests. Resorts dot the beaches from the Papagayo peninsula down to Tamarindo, a lively village known for its coffee, restaurants, and great surfing.

Wherever you go in Costa Rica, you'll be close to nature. But nowhere else is that more true than in Monteverde, where winds from both the Pacific and the Caribbean collide to create a magical cloud forest. Hundreds of species of orchids cover the ground, while iridescent green birds called "resplendent quetzals" fly overhead. Even if it wasn’t one of the most diverse ecosystems on earth, it would still be one of the most stunning vacation destinations.

One of the most common phrases you'll hear in Costa Rica is "pura vida". From the Spanish, it literally translates to "pure life," but for Costa Ricans, it means much more. It connotes a closeness to nature, of giving thanks for the bounty that surrounds them, and a belief in the importance of sustainable tourism. Costa Rican resorts are serious about both conservation and giving guests the chance to learn about the natural beauty and rich culture surrounding them.
