Essential Costa Rica
2 WEEKS
This is the trip you've been dreaming about: a romp through paradise with seething volca-
noes, tropical parks and ghostly cloud forests.
From
San José
, beeline north to
La Fortuna
. After hiking the forest on the flanks of
Volcán Arenal
, soak in the area's hot springs. Then catch a boat across Laguna de Arenal,
and a bus to
Monteverde
, where you might encounter the elusive quetzal on a stroll
through the
Bosque Nuboso Monteverde
.
