Begin your Costa Rica Road trip in the bustling heart of San José, where you can appreciate a blend of traditional culture and modern innovation.  

As you drive towards La Fortuna, experience the visual feast that is Costa Rica’s natural tapestry: meandering roads framed by dense jungles and idyllic national parks.  

And then, the pièce de résistance—the awe-inspiring Arenal Volcano, a daily spectacle of red-hot lava and majestic ash columns.

What could be more exhilarating? 

Once the sun dips below the horizon, repose in the exclusive Arenal Observatory Lodge, or satiate your culinary cravings at the chic Lava Lounge Bar and Grill, where the offerings are as exquisite as the vistas.

 

Journey 2: Monteverde to Playa Grande 

A Turtle’s Tale in Paradise

This venture may be an off-the-beaten-path experience, but the reward is worth every turn of the wheel.  

The crux of this journey is Playa Grande, where the cosmos aligns to offer an almost magical scene.  

It’s here that Leatherback Sea Turtles lay their eggs between October and March, offering a soul-touching display of the circle of life. 

Indulge in a private tour at Las Baulas National Park and elevate your journey with a stay at Hotel Las Tortugas, complete with stunning sunset vistas from your private balcony.

Get ready to switch gears as you navigate the glorious route from Tamarindo to Santa Teresa.  

Along the way, engage your senses at quaint sopas, savoring local delicacies like empanadas and patacones.  

Santa Teresa is your sanctuary for soul-soothing beachfront yoga sessions or exhilarating surf escapades.
