The costarica.com team travels to a new destination every month, researching the latest information to create the most comprehensive and up-to-date travel guides available. Our destination articles are written based on first-hand experience, to give you the ultimate trip planning resources.

From the cool cloud forests of Monteverde to the sun-kissed beaches of Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica’s natural splendor shines through. The capital of San Jose offers visitors both cultural and historical attractions while white sand beaches and lush rainforests provide ample opportunities for both relaxation and adventure. Because Costa Rica is so mountainous, dramatic differences in rainfall and temperatures can be observed within small geographical areas. The climate and scenery can change even on a day trip.

Check out our travel blog and explore Costa Rica through the words of our talented and intrepid travel writers. The blog offers a personal account of our experiences and an insider's perspective to the variety of activities in one of the world’s hottest ecotourism destinations. We just returned from an action-packed week on the Central Pacific coast. Read our Adventures in Manuel Antonio, published January 2010.
