Don't forget to indulge in the traditional Costa Rican food offered at the poolside restaurants.
On day 2, make your way to La Paz Waterfall Gardens Nature Park. This rainforest sanctuary offers multiple waterfalls throughout its premises, and you can walk along the trails and appreciate the biodiversity of the park. The national park hosts an exceptional exhibit of over 100 species of animals, including jaguars, pumas and monkeys.
If you have more time, add a day to explore the city of San Jose. You can visit the Gold Museum, the National Museum of Costa Rica, and the Jade Museum. Those who are interested in learning the traditions for chocolate making can visit the Rainforest Chocolate Tour. For visitors who are looking for adventure activities, explore the zip lining activities at the longest zip line in the country, in Monteverde cloud forest reserve.
