Experiencing Costa Rica on a best friend getaway!

My friend and I were looking to experience all that Costa Rica had to offer! We wanted to backpack, explore nature, do some adventurous activities, and end the trip with a little relaxation before we headed home. Anywhere planned the perfect getaway from Arenal to Monteverde to Tamarindo. Booking with Anywhere was the best decision we made. Everything was catered to our interests and taken care of. The easiest adventure I've been on.

Our favorite part of the adventure…

Our favorite part of the trip was canyoning in Monteverde. It was an amazing tour! We were a smaller group, so it felt like a private tour and the guides were hilarious. We rappelled down SIX different waterfalls — each an exhilarating experience. We felt safe the whole time with the guides constantly checking on our harnesses and showing us the ropes (excuse the pun) on every trip.

Our travel dreams delivered by Anywhere…

We absolutely loved Mountain Faro Hotel, a charming little B&B. They were so accommodating, and the rooms were very clean and nice. Our trip was absolutely amazing — everything we wanted, plus everything we didn't know we wanted! We saw so much of the country and did so many activities and I wasn't stressed once about transportation or paying, it was all taken care of thanks to Anywhere. I will definitely be using Anywhere any chance I get.

Places you'll stay

Alajuela & SJO Airport

Alajuela, nicknamed City of the Mangoes, is one of the most important cities in Costa Rica. It is the capital city of the providence bearing its name and is located just 11 miles northwest (17 km) of San Jose. Just outside of town is where you'll find the Juan Santamaria International Airport (Aeropuerto Internacional Juan Santamaria), Costa Rica's principal airport.

Destination

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.

Destination

Monteverde Costa Rica Vacations

Heed the call of the great outdoors and let your next vacation take you to beautiful Monteverde, Costa Rica. Home to cool, misty cloud forests, and deep green foliage almost everywhere you look, there’s no mistaking that you’ve stepped away from everyday life. If spending time in nature is at the top of your travel to-do list, then you’ll get your fill of adventure in this part of Costa Rica’s Central Highlands. From zip lining across a canopy to tours of coffee plantations, there are plenty of activities to keep you moving in the fresh air.

Destination

Tamarindo

Once a quiet surf beach and fishing hamlet, Tamarindo is now a beach town with the infrastructure Western travelers have come to expect. Located on the Central West Coast of Guanacaste, Tamarindo still boasts unspoilt beaches and incredible biodiversity — despite the town’s recent and ongoing development. Come for fun in the sun and stay for the laid back vibe that is so characteristic of the region.

Destination

San Jose

"Chepe," as the city is referred to by locals, is the capital city of Costa Rica and a hub for modern Costa Rican culture. It's also where most visitors depart for tours of central Costa Rica's volcanoes and coffee plantations. Before you leave, take a fun-filled tour of the city's monuments and parks, and maybe sample the burgeoning craft beer scene.

Trip highlights

Moments to look forward to

Arenal Volcano National Park

The Arenal Volcano National Park packs all of Costa Rica's allure into one place: incredible hiking, magnificent views, abounding wildlife and the country's most active volcano. Hiking and horseback riding tours allow you to get up close and personal with this incredible area, which encompasses close to 30,000 acres (12,000 ha) and extends into eight different life zones. Overlooking everything is the imposing Arenal Volcano which sits right inside this wonderful park.

Attraction

Lake Arenal

Lake Arenal, lying adjacent to the Arenal Volcano in the Northern Lowlands of Costa Rica, is the country’s most spectacular lake. With the magnificent Arenal Volcano to the east and rolling hills and forested slopes all around, the scenery couldn’t be better. Add to that a number of activities that includes world-class windsurfing and sailboarding, fishing, kayaking, bird watching and more, and you have the makings for a spectacular destination.
