Costa Rica Travel Expert

Explore the beauty of Costa Rica with a dedicated travel advisor! I specialize in creating personalized itineraries that highlight the country’s stunning beaches, lush rainforests, and vibrant culture. From eco-friendly tours to thrilling adventures, I tailor every trip to fit your desires.

The top two provinces in Costa Rica that are often highlighted for their attractions and natural beauty are: 

Puntarenas: This province is home to stunning beaches along the Pacific coast, such as Manuel Antonio and Jaco. It also includes the lush landscapes of Monteverde and the Osa Peninsula, which is known for its biodiversity and access to Corcovado National Park. 

Guanacaste: Located in the northwest, Guanacaste is famous for its beautiful beaches like Tamarindo, Playa Hermosa, and Playa Conchal. The province is also known for its dry tropical forests, national parks such as Rincon de la Vieja, and vibrant culture, making it a popular destination for both relaxation and adventure activities like surfing, hiking, and horseback riding.

Here are my top five spots in Costa Rica
