Picking your highlight is the toughest part of any adventure here: discovering Tortuguero National Park’s turtle breeding grounds, perhaps, or taking to the waters for serene exploration of the jungle’s countless rivulets and lagoons; relaxing on the fine powder sands of Bri Bri Indigenous Reserve’s beaches, or maybe searching for wildlife like capuchin monkeys and manatee. All the while, the twin companions of a towering volcanic backdrop and friendly locals help make any visit here memorable.
