Kick things off in
Jacó
, a scrappy, if relatively cosmopolitan, enclave of fine dining and
raging nightlife. In case you need a reminder that you're still in Costa Rica, head north up
the coast to
Parque Nacional Carara
, home to enchanting scarlet macaws.
Heading south along the coast, drop in on
Quepos
, a convenient base for the country's
most popular national park,
Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio
. Here, the rainforest
sweeps down to meet the sea, providing refuge for rare animals, including the endangered
Central American squirrel monkey.
