The Ultimate Pura Vida Party
Anywhere has everything you need to make your Costa Rica experience unforgettable. The country is an unforgettable paradise, we still think about the beautiful nature we’ve experienced on this trip.
The ultimate wedding party…
I had decided to forego a wedding ceremony and instead travel with my "wedding party" to Costa Rica to celebrate. Turns out, Costa Rica is an unforgettable paradise. It’s got 5% of the world's total biodiversity, and we definitely saw our share of nature and wildlife on this vacation. My favorite is the sloth sanctuary at Cahuita. This place seems to be run by some of the most dedicated professionals I've ever seen. It's wonderful what they're doing for these creatures. 100% worth it. The baby sloths especially are life-changingly adorable.
Things you must do on your Costa Rica trip…
We took a Zip Line and Balsa River Rafting Tour when we were in Arenal. Both the zip line team and rafting guides were amazing! They were incredibly helpful and funny, and made sure we had a great time. That experience blew us away. You must also not miss out on the waterfall and volcano hikes. This is one thing you must absolutely do in Costa Rica. The stunning views we had from the hanging bridge, as well as other amazing natural beauty fueled us for what turned out to be several long hikes. I can't get over how wonderful this place was.
We got everything we wanted, and more!
Anywhere has everything you need to make your Costa Rica experience unforgettable. Jessica Carvajal was amazing. She was able to customize our experience to exactly what we wanted, and great at troubleshooting, updates, and pricing options with a quick turn around. My wife is extremely thorough and Jessica was right there with her the whole time. There was like, one issue and Anywhere's hardworking staff went above and beyond to make sure we were content. Seriously, our guides and the companies that serviced us specifically made the whole thing extra special.

Destination
Tortuguero
The Caribbean Coast is home to the beautiful town of Tortuguero and it's National Park. This sun drenched zone with its sparsely spaced coastal villages offers a completely laid back and relaxed atmosphere. The culture is vastly different on this coast compared to the rest of the country with its prominent Afro-Caribbean influence notable as well in the delicious cuisine found here.
Destination
Puerto Viejo de Limon
Known for its laidback attitude and famous for it's surfing, Puerto Viejo de Limon beckons visitors to come experience Costa Rica’s eccentric side. The village’s cultural influences are interesting to be sure: a mix of Afro-Caribbean, Bribri Indian, tico and hippyesque counterculture, this small port town is an anthropological study in itself. A mere 11 miles (18 km) from Cahuita, Puerto Viejo is accessible via Highway 36 or by simply walking south, along the beach.
Destination
Cahuita
Cahuita is a laid back and vibrant little village in the setting of Costa Rica’s unique Creole culture, brought about by its Afro-Caribbean heritage. Only 27 miles (43 km) south of Puerto Limón, Cahuita is an easy drive down Highway 36 along the Caribbean coast, despite a few potholes here and there. It is assuredly a must-see destination for visitors already in the Limón Province. This village is a hit amongst the young and free-spirited, or those simply seeking the easy life for a few days.

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
La Fortuna Waterfall
Located just 6 km outside the town of La Fortuna, this stunning waterfall provides visitors with a wonderful place to swim and relax. Situated at the base of the dormant Chato volcano amidst a thriving rain forest, the location for this waterfall couldn't get any better.
Attraction
Gandoca Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge
Located in Costa Rica's southeastern Talmanca region is the large Gandoca-Manzanillo Refuge, a collection of rainforest and wetland habitat complete with a coral reef. At 23,348 total acres (9,450 ha), this vast refuge begins south of Punta Uva-3 miles south of Puerto Viejo-until it runs into the Sixaola River at the Panamanian boarder. Besides Cahuita, this park is the only other place in the country with a coral reef.
