Costa Rica Selfdrive – Natural Highlights

Nature trip Costa Rica

Costa Rica is undoubtedly a lush and pristine nature destination. Travel along through the many beautifully built-out nature parks where you can learn about the rich fauna and flora. Cruise through the rainforest to the Caribbean coast and explore Tortuguero National Park , the natural gem of this beautiful coast. Inland, you will be overwhelmed by the active Arenal volcano, which emits red-hot lava flows daily. Through the fairytale cloud forest of Monteverde, hike across suspension bridges as high as 35 meters and discover a new world in the canopy of the forest giants. On the Pacific coast of the Nicoya Peninsula, you will find the most beautiful beaches in the wild bays. The smallest national park, Manuel Antonio, is grand in its fantastic location and lush fauna and flora. A wonderful end to a wonderful nature trip!
