Wandering what are the best places, Costa Rica while planning your trip to Costa Rica?
With almost a quarter of the land either a national park or a protected area, opportunities to explore natural wonders are abundant. However what are the best places, Costa Rica?
1. Arenal Volcano
It is one of the most active volcanoes in the world.
Arenal Volcano is located not far from the town of La Fortuna, 5 hours north of San Jose, Costa Rica%u2019s capital.
Day trips leave San Jose in the morning, let you wander around the volcano in the afternoon, and see the glowing red lava flows roll down the slopes as you soak in a relaxing thermal bath at night. Most decide to stay in one of the many hotels surrounding the volcano that have picture perfect views from every room. Cheaper lodging is in the town of La Fortuna nearby.
With nightly eruptions that can be seen from hotels and viewpoints surrounding Arenal Volcano, the volcano is the main attraction. It sits in the Parque Nacional Arenal, or Arenal National Park, which is home to diverse rainforest plants and a wide variety of wildlife such as brightly colored birds, Capuchin monkeys, Howler monkeys, Coati, and others.
2. Monteverde
Monteverde, including the Cloud Forest Biological Reserve, was the highlight of my trip to Costa Rica. Beautiful, natural environment. Monteverde rainforests have majestically tall trees festooned with orchids, bromeliads, ferns, vines, and mosses. Spectacular wildlife includes the Jaguar, Ocelot, Baird´s Tapir, Three-wattled Bellbird, Bare necked Umbrella bird and much more.
3. Corcovado
Corcovado is one of "the most biologically intense places on earth", according to National Geographic. Its rain forest are by far the most exuberant in Central America. 500 different variety of trees grow here and up to 100 species can be found growing on just 2 acres of land.
The Park is home to Giant Anteaters, Tapirs, Sloths and a few big cat species, like the Jaguar, Ocelot, Pumas and Margay. Four species of Monkeys live in the trees overhead: the Howler, White-Faced Capuchin, Spider and Squirrel Monkey.
In Conclusion
The official language in Costa Rica is Spanish. Learning basic Spanish is recommended.
A great thing about speaking Spanish is that whenever you are traveling you will realize that the native people of the country tend to change their attitude towards you. They become more accommodating and much nicer whenever you converse to them in their native language. They will see that you are exerting extra effort to speak their language and they will feel honored and proud to talk and to help you. An additional benefit of immersing in a Spanish speaking community or state is that you will be able to greatly appreciate their culture.
There are few things more frustrating while traveling than getting lost.
