Costa Rica Vacations - Lush and green, tropical, adventurous, relaxing!

Wondering about Costa Rica vacations?

Are you looking for an exciting, exotic, adventurous vacation that isn't going to break the bank?

That's what we were searching for when we started looking into where we would jet off to our honeymoon.

We wanted a variety of experiences...we knew Costa Rica was famous for its rain forests, beaches, and coffee. We love wildlife, birds, and nature and knew there would be an abundance of all of those things.

There's also

That's why we decided to travel to Costa Rica for our honeymoon.

Our honeymoon

I'd like to share with you our awesome experience and show you why vacations in Costa Rica are the most fun you can have with your clothes on! (Perhaps a swimsuit is in order if you're hanging out at a poolside bar.)

There's lots to do. And you can "tailor" the adventure to your particular style.

We chose to rough it a little bit and we selected a travel package that gave us our own 4x4 rental car, a cell phone, and a list of hotels and resorts for each of the regions. From there we had 10 days to explore all that this warm, lush, beautiful country had to offer, on OUR timetable.

Let our website be your guide

Travel to Costa Rica and crash at a beach or two. Visit the amazing national parks. Or maybe an all-inclusive vacation is more your speed. Planning a cruise? Whatever you're interested in, you'll learn about it here, on this website.

In addition to information about flights, travel packages, hotel reservations, and car rentals, you'll find detailed info on the many spectacular beaches and exhilarating attractions as well as in-depth facts about the country.

If you've never been on a Costa Rica vacation, check out the Travel tips, as well as the Facts, Beaches, and Weather sections of the website first. See if it looks as fun as we thought it did! Also check out my photos from the trip throughout the site.

Once you figure out what sounds like fun, plan your trip around the regions you'd like to see.

Gotta do the zip line canopy tour? Make sure you make your way to the Monteverde Cloud Forest. Breathtaking, lush, and green.

Never saw a living, breathing, fire-spitting volcano before? Check out Arenal.

Gonna be a beach bum? Tons of locations there -- and choose windsurfing, snorkeling, scuba diving, fishing, or just sunbathing.

One thing's for sure, you'll find Costa Rica vacations to be relatively affordable. Hawaii was on our short list of honeymoon destinations but the airfare from New York took our breath away. We were surprised to find how cheap airfare to Costa Rica was! That left more in our budget to spend on fun things to do once we got there (like a hot rock massage - highly recommended!)
