Outdoor activities mean visitors will not have to wear masks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For anyone wanting to check out the geothermal wonders of Costa Rica, it\u2019s worth visiting the <strong>Tenorio Volcano National Park<\/strong>, which sits in the Guanacaste Volcanic Mountain Range. It is a lush treasure trove of cloud forests, lagoons, waterfalls, hot springs, and plenty of volcanic activity zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to discover other national parks around the world, check out our article about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/destinations\/asia\/5-best-sri-lanka-national-parks-for-wildlife-safari-experiences\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sri Lanka\u2019s best national parks for wildlife encounters<\/a> and our guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/destinations\/north-america\/5-us-national-park-road-trips-for-your-next-epic-adventure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">five epic US national park road trips<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"beaches\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Beaches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1000\"  height=\"659\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAA+gAAAKTAQMAAACw\/7ARAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAGdJREFUeNrtwQENAAAAwqD3T20PBxQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAJ8GRGkAAU0QVDAAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Is it safe to travel to Costa Rica?\"  class=\"wp-image-4069 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/costa-rica-beach.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/costa-rica-beach.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/costa-rica-beach-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/costa-rica-beach-768x506.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/costa-rica-beach-110x72.jpg 110w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/costa-rica-beach-200x132.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/costa-rica-beach-380x250.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/costa-rica-beach-255x168.jpg 255w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/costa-rica-beach-550x362.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/costa-rica-beach-800x527.jpg 800w\" ><figcaption>Image by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@nextiva\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Devin Pickell<\/a> via <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Costa Rica is also famous for its golden sand beaches.
