Avanti Destinations

Back Roads of Costa Rica
Explore off the beaten path, discovering the back roads and secluded hideouts of beautiful Costa Rica. Start in Monteverde, located 4 hours northwest of San Jose. Costa Rica's best-known reserve is one of the richest cloud forests in the continent with at least 200 species of birds, many species of mammals and an estimated 3,000 species of plants. Journey the trails of a private reserve, try one of the zip line canopy tours of the area and experience a taste of Costa Rican lifestyle and hospitality in Monteverde. After a busy time in misty Monteverde, continue your trip to the driest region of the country, the Nicoya Peninsula, and unwind with the cooling breezes of the Pacific Coast at the hotel of your choice. This lesser-known beach region is home to secluded surf spots and idyllic landscapes, and offers a perfectly relaxing end to this one-of-a-kind vacation.

Featured Destinations

Monteverde Monteverde The Monteverde rainforest area, which comprises ten towns with 8,000 people, is situated on the Continental Divide at an elevation of 5,600 feet. A walk through a Costa Rica Monteverde cloud forest reveals a lush green garden of mosses, ferns, flowers and epiphytes growing thickly on every tree. Clouds drift in and settle among the slopes, giving the continuous moisture required for such exuberant plant growth. Dangling roots and vines sweep across the trails. The air is rich with the sounds of birds and the occasional scurrying of small mammals on the forest floor. In the distance a howler monkey roars.

Destination Guide

Nicoya Peninsula Nicoya Peninsula Off of the mainland of Costa Rica is a sanctuary where guests can wake up to the calming waves peeling off the coastal shore, monkeys hollering for your day to start, and an unbelievable view to wake up to. Take a dip in Nicoya's saphhire waters and swim with turtles and come back to your hotel and indulge in exquisite cuisine.
