COSTA RICA: TOP SPOTS IN PICTURES
Here’s some photos of Costa Rica’s beach, bar, rainforest and hotel highlights. To join me for nine months on a jungle beach visit somewheresville.org. Many hotels and destinations feature in the The Guardian Holiday Guide
Here’s a couple of cool San José nightspots for starters: San José
And a lovely look at laid-back, balmy Puerto Viejo and all points south.
I recommend visiting Arenal volcano, because it’s not often you can lie in a hot river, or enjoy a cold beer with a view of a perfect cone right there in front of you, and the area is buzzing, but Rincon de la Vieja is my favourite, plus the multiple craters puff and bubble in the heart of Costa Rica’s cowboy country.
