There are many popular Costa Rica travel spots that both first time and repeat visitors to this gorgeous Caribbean island may want to see. While the ones listed here are not the only ones, they are definitely some of the best places to be in this country.

Ok, below is a list of some of the most attractive places that you could visit here.

1. The Rainmaker: This is not an actual human “rainmaker.” The first of its kind in Central America, the Rainmaker is a collection of suspension bridges that sometimes reach as high as 25 stories tall. While on this aerial walkway, you can have clear and exotic views of the surrounding waterfalls, streams and rainforest trails.

2. Santa Rosa National Park: This is Central America’s biggest dry tropical rainforest. It is located in the San Elena Peninsula and stretches over 100,000 acres of land. It offers opportunities for surfing, swimming, enjoying the beautiful wildlife and even the sea creatures. This one of the very rare places and occasions where big equals beautiful. And you have a variety of opportunities to enjoy the picturesque views that is offered and the natural enjoyment and pleasure that comes with it.

3. Monteverde Biological Reserve: Of very high altitude, the Monteverde Biological Reserve is one of the must-visit Costa Rica travel spots. It boasts of more than 100 amphibian species, 400 bird species and 2500 and 100 plant and mammals species respectively. Whether you are a bird-watching enthusiast or just a naturalist who loves nature, the eight ecological zones of this reserve will provide you with more than enough to enjoy.

4. Arenal Volcano National Park and Observatory: San Jose offers one of the most spectacular views that you can have (and cherish long after) of your Costa Rican travels. Here you can take about an hour’s walk in the afternoon on lava rocks to see the rare spectacle that a live volcano can be. The best time to see this is sometime after dark when the sky is lighted mainly by the glowing lava that erupts out of the volcano.

While a lot of Central American countries offer their visitors the pleasure of a lifetime, few offer the opportunity to experience nature wild and beautiful as much as a Costa Rican travel would. There are many other places here that would also make a good one to visit and are explored more on the site below.
