Costa Rica Expeditions
Sail your days away in Costa Rica
There is no one best place. I would recommend that you visit a volcano (Arenal?) a lowland rainforest (Corcovado), a cloud forest (Monteverde), the South Caribbean (Cahuita and Puerto Viejo) and a Pacific Beach (too many to choose from.

yes, calhuita and puerto viejo on the caribbean side are very nice. calhuita is smaller than puerto viejo, and that’s not to say that puerto viejo is large at all. there’s snorkeling, surfing, and lots of young people in both of these places and pretty much all over the caribbean side. it’s also much cheaper than going to the pacific side, whichis very nice in its own right. just a little more upscale on the whole. just depends on what you’re looking for.

I would suggest just renting a car and exploring. There are regions in the central north that look just like Switzerland. There are cloud forests, rain forests, white/black/regular sand beaches. You can go south and see plantations. Guanacaste is filled with plains and beaches. There are Cathedrals and ancient ruins. There are big cities and small towns. Most of all though, visit the people. There are no more friendly, kind and full of life people than the “Ticos”.
Enjoy!

Depending on what you want, but really wonderful beach is Manuel Antonio National Park, and then on a one day tour, volcan Poas is a little active these days, and its the second biggest crater int he world! (no danger, though, there are 45 minutes guided visits with park guides)
Caribbean as well, they said, its beautiful, but bad thing over there is that it’s almost always rainy… For sure it won’t rain in October.
Right now we’re having a really nice warm weather, and for Holly Week most probably everything will be full!
Hostal and cheap paces can be found everywhere, as well as expensive ‘chains’ of hotels, ej barcelo, or fiesta. Everything will be a lot cheaper after week of 9-16..
Good luck!
