Corcovado National Park

Bring your partner to this misty rainforest for its diverse wildlife, buzzing insects and chirping birds. Nature is yours to enjoy as you make your way through the verdant jungle. Trek along the hazy trails and you’re likely to spot macaws, tapirs, jaguars, spiders or howler monkeys.

La Paz Waterfall Gardens

La Paz may seem quiet and still at first glance. But take another look, and you’ll find this rainforest buzzing with activity. From croaking frogs and fluttering butterflies to rumbling jaguars and howling spider monkeys, there are plenty of creatures to be found in this wildlife lover’s paradise. And there is much for nature-seekers to admire too, from the garden’s five flowing waterfalls to its colorful orchids and sea of leafy green canopies.

Tabacón’s luxurious thermal springs

If you trek to Arenal Volcano to witness its looming presence for yourself, save time to bathe in the Tabacón’s luxurious thermal springs. With its serene flowing waterfalls, tropical foliage and mineral-rich natural springs, it’s no wonder the Tabacón Grand Spa Thermal Resort costs a pretty penny. But its distinguished springs and spa treatments will leave you swooning. Visitors call it relaxing and beautiful, with great facilities. A handy tip from past travelers: Bring water shoes to protect your feet as you walk from one pool to another.
