Costa Rica is known for many things, one of those is its flora and fauna diversity. Monteverde National Park is one of the best places to see this in the country. Easy to access, and less than 60 miles from San Jose, it is the ideal distance for a long weekend or a short break away from the city.

There are many great reasons to scuba dive, but the one that most captures people’s imagination is marine wildlife. From schools of tropical fish to sharks, tropical seas house an impressive chunk of Earth’s life that most people only ever see on the Discovery channel.

Still, as a diver, I firmly believe that swimming with a school of fish or sharing a manta ray’s habitat for a few minutes is about more than recreation.

There are hundreds of ways to explore nature in Costa Rica and each one takes your adrenaline to the next level. Adventurous visitors can bungee jump, hike fiery craters, scuba dive with sharks, kayak through fierce currents and zip from tree top to tree top. And what does a romantic traveler do after a full day of adventure? Relax and enjoy the unique hotels available in every part of this beautiful country.

Most visitors start their trip to Costa Rica in San Jose. Because of the condition of the roads in this country and the late arrival of most flights, a one night stay is necessary in the city. If you are just starting your romantic getaway or honeymoon vacation, you will want a hotel that immediately relaxes you.

Some of the most popular beaches in Costa Rica are close to the small yet bustling town of Jaco. Two hours away from San Jose, and easily reached by car or comfortable, cheap, ubiquitous buses, Jaco is located on Costa Rica’s central Pacific coast in the northern part of Puntarenas province.

This is a party town and, along with Tamarindo to its north, a favorite destination for many Costa Rica vacations.
