After all, the capital city is the point of entry and exit for most tourists. Despite this, few people make time to actually get to know the city, preferring to head straight to the national parks. The explorers who choose to discover San Jose are rewarded with a unique collection of treasures, from striking neoclassical architecture to preserved neighborhoods, dimly-lit jazz bars to hipster Costa Rican coffee shops. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A growing number of tours in the city seek to showcase the best of San Jose. Step into the subterranean <strong>Pre-Columbian Gold Museum<\/strong> tucked beneath the popular <strong>Plaza de La Cultura<\/strong> to find a space filled with incredible gold artifacts, pre-Columbian figurines, and ethnographic exhibits. For a spot of nature, the <strong>La Sabana Park<\/strong> allows you to escape to the largest green space in the city \u2014&nbsp;rent pedal boats and float across its large central lake, or peek into the <strong>Museum of Costa Rican Art <\/strong>nearby, its indoor-outdoor displays featuring works by Latin American artists. Rub shoulders with locals at the historic <strong>Mercado Central <\/strong>(Central Market) as you wander through a maze of narrow alleyways lined with shops selling souvenirs, snacks, ceramics, fragrant spices, and piles of native fruit. Then, discover the grand and ornate architecture of the <strong>National Theatre<\/strong>, an opulent sight to behold.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images

shores. A vibrant seaside town in the southeast, located in Limon Province on Costa Rica\u2019s delightful Caribbean coast, Puerto Viejo is home to gorgeous gold-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and the legendary <strong>Salsa Brava<\/strong> reef break, the most powerful surf spot in the country that provides a challenge for even the most experienced surfers. The town exudes a relaxed atmosphere and rustic touch. In recent years, it has become extremely popular with the young and the adventurous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not just the waves and chill vibes that draw crowds. The unique black-sand <strong>Playa Negra<\/strong> stretches 10 kilometers all the way to the scenic <strong>Cahuita National Park <\/strong>in the north, which protects a large coral reef and features a shipwreck dive site. There is also the non-profit <strong>Jaguar Rescue Center<\/strong>, worth a visit for a greater understanding and appreciation for the native animals of Costa Rica. The <strong>Gandoca-Manzanillo National Wildlife Refuge<\/strong> has plenty of wetlands, rainforest, and mangroves to explore.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery

Only a handful of these islands are open to tourism and exploration. One such island is the beautiful Isla Tortuga, which is striking in its richness in flora and fauna, not to mention a true paradise of white sand and glittering waters. The island provides the perfect place for activities such as diving, snorkeling, hiking, kayaking, and wildlife watching. Isla Tortuga is also a top destination for its accessibility, located only about an hour and a half from the shores of the Nicoya Peninsula by boat, making it ideal for day trips and quick excursions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rent lounge chairs and umbrellas for your siesta by the water, or trek to the summit of the island for exciting glimpses of wildlife. Often, you\u2019ll find wild peccaries finding their way down to the beach. For a bigger rush, go on a canopy and zipline tour. Of course, bigger still are the underwater thrills \u2014 scuba dive or snorkel the depths to see manta rays, dolphins, sharks, and three different shipwrecks.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure

On the coast, the <strong>Santa Rosa National Park<\/strong> is home to surfing sites, rare stretches of dry tropical forest, savannas, marshlands, and hundreds of bird species. Guanacaste&#8217;s long coastline allows you to pick from an endless list of beaches, from the secluded <strong>Playa Blanca<\/strong> to the popular <strong>Playa Hermosa<\/strong>, while the
