Start your honeymoon off with a visit to the stunning La Fortuna Waterfall. This 230-foot waterfall is located in the heart of the rainforest and offers a refreshing swim at the bottom. Take the well-maintained trail down to the falls, and then return to the parking lot for lunch. In the afternoon, enjoy a relaxing soak in the nearby natural hot springs.
Spend the day exploring Arenal Volcano National Park, home to the active Arenal Volcano. Take a hike on one of the many trails to view the 2,500-foot volcano from different angles, walk across hanging bridges, spot wildlife, and then relax in one of the park's hot springs.
Travel to Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, a unique ecosystem with breathtaking views, rare species of birds and animals, and dozens of trails to explore. Take a guided tour through the cloud forest, including a canopy tour of the treetops and a visit to the butterfly garden.
On your last day, head to Manuel Antonio National Park. This tropical paradise is home to beautiful beaches, stunning views, and exotic wildlife, such as white-faced monkeys and sloths. Take a hike through the park to enjoy the views and wildlife, and then relax on the beach. If you have extra time, explore the town of Quepos for some shopping and dining.
If you have extra time, consider adding a day trip to the Guanacaste beaches or the Corcovado National Park. If you have less time, skip Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve or Manuel Antonio National Park. Remember that many attractions and national parks in Costa Rica close earlier, so make sure to check their schedules before planning. Bring comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, and insect repellent. And lastly, embrace the laid-back and pura vida lifestyle.
