Think there's nowhere as beautiful as home? Well, think again, because Costa Rica's green natural wonders and Panama's Caribbean beach vibes are waiting to show you otherwise! Fall in love with Costa Rica's rich diversity on the Nikoya Peninsula as you roam the dense jungle and bask in the sun on the warm sands of secluded Pacific beaches. Continue your adventure with an unforgettable night hike in the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, where you'll strap on a head torch and get up close and personal with Costa Rica's unique wildlife. Still not wild enough for you? Make your way through the dense greenery in the rainforests of La Fortuna while playful capuchin monkeys and colourful toucans frolic in the treetops above. Then head straight form the heart of the wilderness to the Caribbean Sea and bury your feet in the white sand as you let time stand still between palm trees and starfish in Puerto Viejo and Panama's Bocas del Toro. Looking for your dream come true? Then put on your sunglasses and hop on a plane to Costa Rica and Panama!

Buenos días! Before you know it, you're cruising through a tropical sea of green. Dense vegetation stretches out in every direction and shines in your astonished eyes with a thousand radiant colours! By now, you're no longer surprised that almost a third of the country is a nature reserve. You roll down the window, feel the warm rays of sun on your skin and enjoy the breeze to the fullest. A little tip: drive your hire car to Puntarenas and take the car ferry from there to Playa Naranjo (optional, payable on site). This will save you the long journey around the Golfo Colorado, which is currently even longer due to the bridge closure.
The scent of the sea fills the air as you slowly approach Montezuma or Santa Teresa. No matter where you stay, you can feel Costa Rica's chill vibes everywhere! Check in then enjoy an evening stroll through the alleyways and listen to the colourful soundscape. The best part of it all: the beach is just a stone's throw away! So, grab your favourite drink and end the day with the sun in your heart and your feet in the warm sand.
Rise and shine! If you happen to be here on a Saturday, start your day with a stroll through the local farmers' market. Let the Boho vibes whisk you away as you check out the handicrafts and fresh food and listen to local bands' live impromptu jam sessions. What a perfect start to the day! Then set off on the Montezuma Waterfalls Trail. Hike through the dense greenery of the jungle as you take in the unfamiliar sounds, sights and smells and watch playful capuchin monkeys frolic in the treetops. Follow the trail past dense bushes and vines to its namesake waterfalls. Already wearing your swimwear? Then jump into the natural pool at the base of the falls for an unforgettable dip!
A steaming coffee in your hand, your feet in the sand and a view of the vast sea while the morning sun bathes the landscape in golden red light – it's the perfect morning. But enough relaxing; now you want to experience something! Nearby is one of the most popular places for day trips for both travellers and locals: Tortuga Island. Your boat departs directly from the shore in Montezuma and takes you to the beach paradise in no time at all (optional, bookable in advance or payable on site). Whether it's snorkelling, swimming or kicking back on the sand, in Tortuga, you can do it all! For the rest of the day, you just take it easy. And should you be staying in Santa Teresa, make sure to turn your gaze towards the horizon in the evening. Thanks to its perfect location on Costa Rica's west coast, you're in for a spectacular sunset over the Pacific!
