After living here awhile, things that are unique to Costa Rica begin to stand out. Here are a few things that come to mind when I think about how great Costa Rica is.
- Arenal Volcano - one of the most active volcanoes in the world and when there are no clouds, you can often actually see lava flow
- Natural Hot Springs - these are located near the active volcanoes (Arenal and Rincon de la Vieja, among others). You can often choose the temperature pool that´s right for you and have a relaxing soak. Plus the natural minerals in the water are really good for your skin.
- Cano Island - one of the best places to dive in Costa Rica
- Scarlet Macaws - in certain areas like the south Pacific, you can see these beautiful (and loud) birds daily
- La Paz Waterfall & Gardens - an absolutely amazing nature park with the largest butterfly garden in the world
- Tu Ru Bari Nature & Adventure Park - besides being an amazing park to visit for the day, their Superman style canopy tour is one of my favorites in all of Costa Rica.
- Casados - (plate of the day, Costa Rican style) a wholesome inexpensive meal available at just about all typical restaurants. It´s a great way to sample some of the local vegetables too!
- Bioland products - We are so lucky to have this company here. They make organic and natural food and skin care (personal) products, AND their prices are very affordable.
- Mountains and beaches - the changes in elevations offer a dramatic variety of climates. You can literally go from hot beach-like weather to cool, refreshing mountain air within an hour.
- Sloths - We have 2 species of sloth in Costa Rica. They are adorable creatures.
