Cerro Tinajitas
Located in Berlin, San Ramon, you can admire the beauty of Costa Rica’s valley and the Pacific coast at the distance. Cerro Tinajitas is an amazing viewpoint, one of the highest hills in the area with 360 degrees views of Western the Zone. More than hiking, you need a 4x4 car to reach to certain hills.
Great a one-day trip/few hours to spare in the afternoon. This location is a bit isolated, so you better bring your own picnic 🧺. No services or people nearby, free of charge.

Tirimbina hikes and lodge
Tirimbina Natural Reserve is a beautiful example of private conservation in Costa Rica. Located in La Virgen of Sarapiqui, primary and secondary rainforest are preserved in 345 hectares. Great location for bird 🐦 watching.
Tirimbina biological reserve has 4 hiking paths open for public, accessed through a hanging bridge, that allows you to walk over the Sarapiqui river (and enjoy the rafting).
Restaurant is highly recommended, great service and nice food. Lodge is quite nice, although some rooms have one shared bathroom. And they have this cacao tour that show you how to prepare your own chocolate from the fruit to the tablet 🍫

Colombian coffe in La Sabana
Near La Sabana, you can find a small and cute coffee shop to spend a nice breakfast, or if you are craving for coffee. Juan Valdez Café has good ambiance, location and nice coffee. Beef empanada is delicious, specially with the local spicy sauce. Chilean style cake was nice but quite hard. Coffee is Colombian style, not so common to find when Costa Rican coffee is good quality, but they offer you a nice option to compare (if you prefer to drink real coffee over Starbucks’ coffee like beverages).

The Open Kitchen was a great dining location. Located in Santa Elena downtown, this Israeli-Costa Rican restaurant has an extensive offer of cocktails 🍹 , coffee ☕️ and craft beer🍺 . Belmar Craft beer is produced locally, and you don’t get much options to taste it elsewhere in the country.
We ordered the Shawarma with the craft beers selection. I loved the Pale Ale, while my partner prefer the IPA. Ambience is quiet and romantic, also preferred by families seeking good food and calm after an active day.

Dine in a Tree 🌳
The Tree House restaurant is a highly-known restaurant in Monteverde. They built the restaurant around the ficus tree, downtown Santa Elena. Great option after a hike in any of the cloud forest reserves or enjoying a day of extreme sports (canopy).
Pizza is delicious, we enjoyed our dinner with the sound of the birds over the tree, and the amazing ambience that makes you feel you have a full-nature experience of this area.
📍 Downtown Santa Elena, Provincia de Puntarenas, Monteverde, 60109

Happy hour by a turquoise colored beach
Marlin Restaurant in Manuel Antonio beach promises the best of happy hour next by a mind-blowing sunset and one of the most gorgeous beaches in Costa Rica. Restaurant is literally 10 steps away from the beach!
Food is very nice, burger with cheese 🧀 was better than chicken burger. Ceviche was good, although we had tried better ones. Shrimp 🦐 brochette was great, you are used to small shrimps 🍤 but they brought us a jumbo size, to die for. Happy hour is everyday, after 4:30. Heineken draft 2x1 is one of the best offers we had ever found.
At night, they turn on the fire 🔥 lanterns to provide a nice ambience. During rainy days, they close the outdoor section to provide a quiet place to enjoy your meals while you admire the sea.

Explore a grotto with history
In Mora county there is a theme park built inside a mountain, with gorgeous views to Virilla River and grotto paths within a mountain. The grotto takes you to few chambers decorated with different cultures, including ancient Egypt and Greece, Easter Island, Medieval dinner halls and ancient churches.
If you buy a Yuplin ticket, you can get inside by half-price ($14, 2 persons) and enjoy a discount in the pizza restaurant. My favorite by far was Divina Comedia pizza, with prosciutto and mushrooms. Eight pieces pizza is perfect for couples, enjoying a cocktail with great view of the mountain or the beautiful sculpture fountain. Guided tour takes 35-40 minutes and starts at 11am. Restaurant is a great place to visit at night.

Communitarian Tourism: Visit Dota
Costa Rica is not only well known for its nature but amazing community life you can experience in traditional towns. Specially, coffee towns ☕️.
Dota is a very special county, not only its located at the foothills of Talamanca (highest mountain range ⛰), 1.5 hours from capital San Jose, has an amazing natural forest (San Gerardo de Dota area), but also is one of the popular coffee areas in the country.
Santa María de Dota, county head town, is a traditional town. In Costa Rica, the church is always one of the most representative buildings in any town/city. This town has a museum for preservation of their cultural heritage, and had made efforts to keep a traditional lifestyle to attract tourists (national and international). During our visit, it was nice to see homes decorated with ox cars or maintaining their traditional architecture.
Santa María is also very close to the Quetzals National Park, ideal for birds watching, sightseeing and definitely hiking tours. San Gerardo de Dota is called a magic cloudy forest land, but can be farther than expected. Definitely a place I want to visit when return home.
📍Santa María de Dota, Dota, Los Santos area, San José, Costa Rica

Visit Golfito beaches
Golfito beach is gorgeous, like many beaches in Costa Rica, inside Golfo Dulce (Sweet Gulf). Golfito town is located very near Golfito National Wildlife Refuge you can go hiking for the day, and next by the Marina ⛵️. Howe
I won’t suggest you to try scuba diving 🤿 in this area, there are lots of fishermen and boats around that you can’t fully enjoy the experience. Unless you are told you can do it near wildlife reserve.
Sailing ⛵️ in this area is great, you can ask the local fishermen to move you to another beach 🏝 where you will be alone to enjoy nature and your day. Traveling from Golfito and Puntarenitas (small island in front of Golfito) was one of my favorite places during a summer I spend every weekend in the area.
🔴 This area is always better to visit in summer, during rainy season there can be floods, or problems among the roads.
📍Golfito, Puntarenas, Costa Rica

La Paz Waterfalls Gardens in Heredia
La Paz Waterfall Gardens Natural Park is one of the most famous tours for tourists in Costa Rica, located only a few hours from San Jose (and 1 hour away from airport). They offer accommodation, restaurants services or just one-day hiking trip into the rainforest and their animal sanctuary. Remember zoos were banned in Costa Rica years ago, only few sanctuaries are open to public as rehabilitation center for many wild animals.
La Paz trails includes 5 different waterfalls, a small lake, birds 🐦 , butterflies 🦋 , snakes 🐍 , monkeys 🐵, hummingbirds, orchid station, insects, frogs 🐸 and few jungle cats, like jaguar, ocelots and more 🐆 .
Remember to carry a jacket and probably raincoat when you visit, either in summer or rainy season. Temperature in rainforest is always a bit chilly and you will definitely get wet around the waterfalls trails. Carry comfortable shoes, this hike can be exhausting.
Outside the gardens, few minutes into the main road (route 126), you can watch the amazing La Paz waterfall that falls. The waterfall is 37m height. This waterfall is also very near Poas volcano 🌋, if you want to spend the night in the gardens you can continue your trip next day to hike around the Poas Volcano National Park, or just visit the crater. Just remember your jacket.
📍Vara Blanca, Heredia, Costa Rica

Wonders of Playas del Coco - Coco Beach
El Coco, Guanacaste is one of the most popular beaches in Costa Rica. Nothing like having a cold drink while you enjoy the view, walk over the sand and get inside that refreshing blue waters. By looking at the ocean, feeling the warm salty wind in your face, you will see how the time stops just to the sound of the waves.
This beach is internationally recognized for diving and surfing. Taking a boat ride to surrounding islets it’s a must. Many tours are available daily for different adventures, depending on your mood. You can also enjoy a beer watching the amazing sunset, while you have some chicharrones (fried pork) or a wonderful steak casado. Don’t forget to add ceviche to whatever meal you’re having, or just with a nice cold drink. It’s extremely important to keep hydrating your body (water & sunscreen) because of the dry weather.
Most of Costa Rica’s beaches hold the Ecologic Blue Flag award to demonstrate their commitment with conservation and green community lifestyle, and Playas del Coco is not the exception. Tourists are requested to follow all recycling and clean behavior to minimize impact in local environment.
There are plenty hotels, restaurants and shops in the area, varies from simple to very fancy locals, all of them with a great view and surrounded by nature. You can take a bus directly from San José downtown to Playas del Coco, ride can take six hours. Libera airport is an hour distance.

Hidden: Rubber Lagoon, Wildlife refug
The Rubber Lagoon (Laguna de Hule) is located in the National Wildlife Refuge Bosque Alegre, near the Poas volcano and La Paz waterfall. Be aware this area has no structure or entrance fee, as it isn’t a national park.
In the lagoon entrance, you find a delicious restaurant to enjoy breakfast and keep yourself strong for all the energy and calories you’ll definitely burn next. For full Costa Rican experience, go for a nice pinto with egg, meat, sour cream and coffee. Now, you’re ready!!
First, you are required to descend 500m to the base of the lagoon, this could take around one hour. Additional 2-3 hours to go around the lagoon, find the perfect spot to eat, enjoy your surroundings and even go for a swim! Let me warn you, water might be warm but area in general is cold. However, a trip I have repeated a few times. This is a great spot for bird-watching. Some people mentions this could be an amazing area for kayaking, if you are willing to carry your kayak in a vertical and difficult trek.
This location is mostly unknown, therefore has high touristic potential without the crowds you can find in many national parks in Costa Rica. Scenery along the trekking paths is amazing. Be prepared to walk inside the river, to get yourself covered in mud, and don’t forget your waterproof jacket. If you are still not tired, you can check Congo Lagoon, too!
#funfact about this lagoon, it is actually an ancient volcano crater! 🌋
Better to visit between November and April, due to rainy season (possible landslides in the road or treks)

Stunning sunset colors
I had to wait a whole month to capture this amazing sunset (rainy season in Costa Rica can be harsh). We volunteered at a turtle hatchery in Matapalo, which is a small village on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. Our camp was right on the beach. The beach is very quiet, but beautiful and very good for surfing. If it's not raining, you will get gourges, sunset, the most beautiful ones I have ever seen, and on a clear night, you can even see the milkeyway.

Baby Turtles on their way
Volunteering opened my eyes to the world, and I have learned so much over the last years. While volunteering in Costa Rica, I had the opportunity to see baby turtles hatch, and we got to watch them making their way into the ocean.
This has been such a special opportunity, and I would recommend that everyone take the time to volunteer.

Great pizza and good prices
In Multiplaza Escazu you can find a great pizza restaurant near the food court. Good ambience, great flavor, and space to enjoy your food.
The Crew Pizza 🍕 gives you the option of creating your own pizza by choosing the ingredients, from several options of meat and vegetables. Additionally, they offer you to add fresh basil and olive oil. Roasted wings were simply delicious.
They prepare each pizza with care, thin crust, and exactly as you like it. Definitely a place I want to come back.

Hiking for 7 waterfalls
Senderos Bar & Restaurante is located in Piedades Sur, San Ramon, about 10 minutes in car from downtown. Hikings are programmed at 8:30am, lunch and guide included. Treks follow 7 different waterfalls, some are quite small but one of them is 17m and you can enjoy the view from the top!
This trek is a bit difficult, as the trails are unclear, so guide is necessary. Restaurant and trails are pet friendly. If you prefer, you can decide to relax after the hike by bathing in the waterfall. Very popular spot during weekends and holidays.

Enjoying the hills in Naranjo
Costa Rica is well known for its amazing topography and biodiversity. So many hiking/trekking places to discover even for locals. The Western Zone (Zona de Occidente) of the Metropolitarean Area is one of its hidden gems. You have urban towns and nature very close to you, and most towns are connected by very good roads.
Naranjo is a small county with many recognized mountains you can visit in one-day trip, couple hours from the capital or even on your way to/from the beach. These mountains are open to people to visit for fun, to sit down and enjoy nature or even have a controlled fire 🔥 at night, camping experience without camping. Although, there are no guards or park rangers is most of these areas so you are responsible for your own safety.
Getting a breath with your family and friends, hiking up and down the mountains, only you and those gorgeous natural surroundings, it’s what makes Costa Rica so great. You don’t need to spend money to visit great areas, you just need to know where to find it. Just remember to carry all you need, most of these places are a bit isolated (few kilometers) from any store.
📍Naranjo, Alajuela, Costa Rica

Best canopy in Costa Rica: Monteverde
Monteverde is worldly known for its amazing cloud forest and biological reserves. Located 3 hours from San Jose, this small town is one of the best locations to visit for ecotourism. Perfect for outdoor activities, bird watching, hiking, sightseeing, and some indoor museums/gardens also focused to promote conservation.
Now, imagine crossing over those gorgeous cloud forests in zip lines. Coming to Costa Rica, or visiting Monteverde without experiencing a canopy tour is a waste. This is an amazing family experience! Should I say, this moment I shared with my sister and my mom was definitely one of the best in life.
This particular canopy takes about 2:30 hours, some zip lines are short, one is very long (and scary high!), and changes your life (adrenaline rush). Specially, the Tarzan swing at the end.

The mystery of the stone spheres
The monoliths of Finca 6 in Diquis, Costa Rica are one of the biggest archaeological mysteries, due to their perfect symmetry and roundness. Since mid 1900’s, over 300 spheres have been found. Not only in Diquis Delta, but in the Isla del Caño (20 km offshore!).
Most of them are made from gabbro, few of them from limestone and sandstone. Their origin is suggested between 200 BC-1500 AD. Finca 6 site dates from 300-1550 AD. Finca 6 is a World Heritage Site, allowing tourists from all over the world to come and appreciate this amazing (and extremely heavy, over 15 tons!!) spheres. Imagine, the rocks used to crear this spheres are located over 30 miles away from the site. They moved such heavy rocks from a long distance to create this perfect spheres.
Why? That’s still a mystery. Power? Maybe. Some say that, by placing your hands over the spheres, you can feel certain energy (warm) flowing to your body from the spheres.
Remember, if you visit the South Zone of Costa Rica, give yourself a detour from the beach and visit the amazing Finca 6!!
📍Palmar Norte, near Sierpe. Osa Peninsula
