A Pura Vida Anniversary Eco-Escape
My husband and I are lucky enough to have traveled to many places. Our Costa Rica trip was one of the best vacations we have ever taken. I was so impressed with how smooth all of our plans went. We look forward to returning in a few years.
Celebrating our anniversary in style…
This trip was in celebration of our 20th anniversary, and we were really looking forward to exploring Costa Rica’s rich nature, such as the rainforests and the beach. We’re a couple in our late 40s, so 2 to 3 locations was the perfect pace. Anywhere helped us put together a great mixture of relaxation and moderate adventure. Katia was helpful, patient, and efficient – everything that I would want in an agent and more.
Our favorite activities from the trip…
We are not hikers, but enjoy zip lining, moderate canopy tours, and some rafting. The sky tram and zipline experiences were amazing. The wildlife safari float was also very memorable. It was a great tour with a great guide; very relaxing and fun. The drivers were all professional, helpful, and on time. I *really* needed a quick stop at a store for a personal item that I forgot and our driver was incredibly helpful.
The best vacation we ever had…
Arenal Nayara Hotel is my favorite hotel ever. I never wanted to leave. The room was fabulous. Service everywhere was above and beyond our expectations. The pool area was perfect with shaded loungers available at all times and the food was excellent at all of its restaurants. Out of all the places in the world, our Costa Rica trip was one of the best vacations we have ever taken. I was so impressed with how smooth all of our plans went. We look forward to returning in a few years.
Places you'll stay
La Paz Waterfall Gardens
The splendid gardens of La Paz are located on the slopes of the Poas volcano, just an hour from San Jose, in the central highlands. This area is rich in bio diversity thanks to an altitude of that varies between 4,000 and 5,000 feet, allowing for both cloud forest and rain forest to co-exist. Be prepared for a truly magical experience. Here, visitors will find the largest butterfly observatory in the world, hummingbird and bromeliad gardens, a serpentarium, frog pond, and 5 striking waterfalls.
Arenal Volcano and La Fortuna
The charming and welcoming town of La Fortuna is a perfect getaway for families, couples, and friends. The only requisite is that you love outdoor adventure! So if you can’t wait to spend your vacation in the fresh air, biking, kayaking, hiking, and more, then discover why the Arenal region is just what you need. Best of all, you can enjoy luxe accommodations that boast volcanic views, and pamper yourself with a luxurious soak in a hot spring. Nature is waiting for you, and she’s easy to find when you book your Arenal adventure with Anywhere.
Papagayo Gulf
The northern Guanacaste shoreline looks out over the expansive Gulf of Papagayo (Golfo de Papagayo), the setting for Costa Rica's premier luxury resorts and most sought after beaches. Immersed in stunning natural beauty, it is no wonder that the gulf is experiencing an unprecedented boom in the construction of all inclusive resort complexes.
Moments to look forward to
Penas Blancas River
Known as the "white water gem of Costa Rica's Atlantic slope", the Penas Blancas River runs right through the Tilaran Mountain Range in north central Costa Rica. It then converges with the San Carlos River east of the Arenal Volcano.
