Enjoy Costa Rica’s beauty with a vacation package tailored to your style. From rainforest treks to beachside relaxation, design your own adventure.
Costa Rica is where lush jungles meet wild coastlines, and eco-conscious living is a way of life. With a Costa Rica vacation package from Smartours , you can mix volcano hikes with hammock naps, adrenaline-filled adventures with quiet moments by the ocean— planned entirely to your pace.
San José: Cultural Start to Your Journey
Begin in San José, where boutique hotels near Barrio Amón put you steps from the National Theatre, art galleries, and charming coffee shops. Over 90% of Costa Rica’s electricity comes from renewable sources, and that commitment to sustainability is part of daily life here. Don’t miss the Central Market, operating since 1880, where you can taste everything from fresh ceviche to artisan chocolates.
Arenal: Volcano Views and Hot Springs
Head to La Fortuna for eco-lodges with direct views of Arenal Volcano, once one of the most active volcanoes in the world until 2010. Between dips in private thermal pools, explore rainforest trails that are home to over 850 bird species. From the distant rumble of the volcano to the calls of toucans overhead, this is Costa Rica at its most vibrant.
Monteverde: Cloud Forest Adventures
In Monteverde, sustainable stays near the Cloud Forest Reserve give you access to canopy tours, hanging bridges, and guided night hikes. This small but biodiverse region is home to 2.5% of the world’s entire biodiversity, including the elusive Resplendent Quetzal—a bird so symbolic in Central America that it’s considered a national treasure.
Manuel Antonio: Beach and Wildlife Paradise
Stay near Manuel Antonio National Park , where in just 16 square kilometers you can find over 100 mammal species, from lazy sloths to playful monkeys. Keep an eye on your backpack—capuchins here have mastered the art of unzipping bags to steal snacks. After wildlife spotting, unwind on white-sand beaches framed by emerald jungle.
Guanacaste: Pacific Coast Sunsets
End your trip in Guanacaste, where beachfront resorts in Tamarindo or Playa Flamingo offer golden sands, great surf, and year-round warmth. With over 300 days of sunshine annually, sunsets here are legendary. Visit Playa Grande between October and March to witness leatherback turtles nesting under the moonlight.
