Things To See
Located in Central America, Costa Rica has as neighbors Panama, Nicaragua, the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. Both regular visitors and newlyweds will love this country and below are some of the country’s main attractions.
Central Cathedral
The Central Cathedral is found in Alajuela and it’s one of the top attractions of the city. While the design is not impressive, this is a great area to spend some time in and you can even see parrots or sloths.
Juan Santamaria Park
The name of this park is taken from that of Costa Rica’s national hero. In this park you will notice old cannons, which were created in the 1860s. After strolling through the park for a bit, you should give the Museum of Juan Santamaria a chance, as it has plenty of memorabilia from him.
Poas Volcano Park
Both visitors and locals love this national park and it gives you the chance to see how a volcano’s crater looks like, especially since it’s active. If you want to reach the volcano’s summit, you can use the help of the guided tours.
Lankester Botanical Gardens
When you want to relax for a bit during an afternoon, you can take a stroll in the botanical garden and enjoy the orchids and the other plants. Families should especially enjoy the botanical gardens and what they have to offer.
Arenal Volcano
The Arenal Volcano can be visited with the help of guided tours and this is the second active volcano on our list of things to see in Costa Rica. If you go to El Mirador you will be at a good distance from it and you will still be able to see the eruption of the volcano and the lava flow. It’s quite a nice sight during the night.
Fortuna Waterfall
The Fortuna waterfall is yet another spot which tourists love to visit. You can either swim in streams or pools or you can enjoy the native animals. If you visit it during the night, you should have a jacket with you, since it can be a bit chilly.
