If you only got a week in Costa Rica don't waste time
1. Jinetes de Osa Hotel
Jinetes de Osa Hotel, Drake Bay, Osa
Located in the most remote area of Costa Rica. The hotel is an friendly and fun place to begin your Costa Rica adventure
2. Caño Island
http://www.jinetesdeosa.com/cano_island.php
Excellent Place to go diving. Great visibility for Costa Rica where the visibility can sometimes be kind of sketchy. Unbelievable marine life
3. Corcovado National Park
Corcovado National Park, Osa
Best national park in Costa Rica to see wild animals. Make sure you go to the Sirena Ranger Station. It costs a little more but well worth it.
4. Arenal Volcano National Park
Arenal Volcano National Park, Province of Alajuela
Active Volcano is a MUST SEE in Costa Rica
5. Hotel Linda Vista Del Norte
Hotel Linda Vista del Norte, La Fortuna de San Carlos, Arenal Volcano National Park
Best view and value in Arenal. Great views of the lake and of the Volcano. A little out of the way though.
6. Tabacon Hot Springs
Tabacon Hot Springs, La Fortuna de San Carlos, Arenal Volcano National Park
Overly touristy but for a reason. Gardens and area are beautiful.
7. Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve
Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, Monteverde
Technically not a national park, the reserve is amazing place to go birding or hiking
8. Province of San Jose
Province of San Jose, Costa Rica
9. San Jose
San Jose, San Jose Metro
You will probably have to sleep here one night. Don't waste the opportunity to go Salsa dancing at El Pueblo or one of the other discos until the wee hours of the morning.
