If you like scenary, you can visit several volcanos like Irazú, Poas, Arenal, Tenorio, several national parks are worth visiting, the volcanos above are also within those parks.

Rio Celeste, Barra Honda, Corcovado, Manuel Antonio though this last one is a popular tourist destination, Bahía Ballena,.

Other cool destinations are Isla Chira, mainly ecotourism with descendants of chorotega tribes; the Malekus indigenous reserve, the Bribís also, though those are nearest to the nigger side of Costa Rica, The Caribbean. I personally avoid that side after an article came out of a hotel only for people of color. So fuck them but there are several destinations in the province of Limón worth visiting like Tortuguero, Cahuita, etc.

To me the most beautiful beaches are on the pacific side along the Guanacaste province. The good thing is that in one day you can visit 3 or 4 different beaches.

Cultural destinations are popular in the central valley, national museums are located in San José, like the National Museum of Gold, the Kids Museum which ironically used to be a prison long time ago, The National Theatre is also worth visiting. Guanacaste has a lot of cultural and historical destinations like Santa Rosa which also has one of the most beautiful beaches there, playa Naranjo.

Turrialba, lots of mountain farming, the Region of San Gerardo de Dota, National Park Chirripó is there, requires good physical condition, but definitely one destination I would recommend to anybody. The highest part of the country is there and if the sky is clear you can see both coasts from the top of Mount Chirripó.

There are coffee tours, in Heredia, Perez Zeledón, Poás, Monte Verde.

Monteverde has the biggest private ecological reserve in Costa Rica.

Braulio Carrillo telepheric.
Pacuare river rafting.
Zipline tours all across the country.

We have lots of options to be honest.Though the country is small, there are several options to consider, sadly not all can be accomplished in one visit.

I used to work in tourism, let me know and I can help you create your own program. I would recommend renting a car and driving yourself so you can enjoy the scenary without the constant talk of a guide.

Send me a pm if you need more guidance on what program to build.

Another recommendation, best months to visit are between the second half of November and end of April.

Know that when it rains in the caribbean, during those months, it doesn't rain often on the central valley and the pacific.
