Costa Rica\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Writing this article almost feels a bit like revealing the locations of some of my most wonderful experiences, like peeking through the keyhole of my private living room. Costa Rica has become – when I first traveled there alone at 18 and felt incredibly free, invincible, ready for anything, until this year when I’ve grown up, taken on responsibilities, led a team, and managed a hostel – my second home, my “home away from home” over the years.<\/p>\n

So this spot on earth has a very special meaning for me.<\/p>\n

But now to the reason why you are really here: the best spots in Costa Rica<\/a>. I have divided this blog into four different topics. Enjoy!\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Overview<\/h3>\n

The best surf spots in Costa Rica<\/a><\/p>\n

The best national parks – and where to see the most animals<\/a><\/p>\n

Good Vibes – My Favorite Places<\/a><\/p>\n

For foodies – what you need to try<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"surfer\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The best surf spots in Costa Rica<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

For beginners and more advanced: Santa Teresa and Malpa\u00eds.\u00a0<\/h3>\n

For those who want to try or learn surfing, the Pacific coast is a good choice, especially the Nicoya Peninsula. Here there are many beaches that offer perfect surfing conditions for beginners.<\/p>\n

Popular beaches for surfing here are for example Playa Hermosa, Playa Carmen as well as Banana Beach – all in the area of Santa Teresa and Malpa\u00eds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There are also some surf schools further south in Uvita<\/span> – here the beach is also very flat, giving you plenty of time to get up on the board. Also, Uvita is one of my favorite beaches in Costa Rica – a sandy beach that stretches to the horizon and is right next to the rainforest.<\/p>\n

If you want to visit a special hostel, I can recommend Flutterby<\/span> – here you can stay in very creative tree houses and rent surfboards.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"surfer<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

For advanced and professionals: Salsa Brava<\/h3>\n

The famous “Salsa<\/span> Brava<\/span>” – in English “spicy sauce” is well known far beyond the borders of Costa Rica. One or the other has broken a (few) board(s) – even surf instructors here. Often the broken boards are used in other ways, for example as tables or colorfully painted signs, which gives the place a unique flair.<\/p>\n

The Salsa Brava is the biggest surf break in Costa Rica and is located in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, a Caribbean beach town on the Atlantic coast.<\/p>\n

Puerto Viejo is definitely worth a visit – good vibes, reggae, great food (I’ll come back to that later!), and a very diverse population from different parts of the planet.<\/p>\n

If you want to surf there as a beginner, you can simply walk to Playa Negra<\/span>, a black sand beach just a few hundred meters north in Puerto Viejo – or ride a bike, the main form of transportation here. Here and in Cocles you will also find surf instructors<\/span> and board rentals on the beach.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Be careful at Playa Negra with cell phones and other electronic devices! The dark sand is magnetic and sticks to the cell phone – especially in the openings of your phone.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The best national parks<\/span> – and where to see the most animals<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Manual<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Manuel Antonio<\/h3>\n

With seven square kilometers, Manuel Antonio National Park is the smallest national park in Costa Rica, but also one of the most visited. It includes both the palm forests on the Pacific Ocean and twelve small islands off the coast.<\/p>\n

It scores with beautiful beaches<\/span> and almost a guarantee to see different monkeys<\/span> and raccoons, which are used to people and therefore also come<\/span> very close. Beware if you bring cookies with you! The raccoons are very clever and can open backpacks.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"butterfly\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Manuel Antonio is now very touristy and it is not uncommon to see a typical tourist group walking by with telescopes, wearing white socks and sandals, and a fanny pack around their waist. Therefore, I would rather visit the Cahuita National Park.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Cahuita National Park\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Those who love long walks on the beach will find their paradise here: beautiful sandy beaches and jungle trails through the rainforest stretch for 8 kilometers throughout the park. Here you are also very likely to sight – or at least hear – capuchin monkeys<\/span> or howler monkeys<\/span>. Alligators and raccoons are also among the park inhabitants.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You have to be careful with the tides: if you are in the park just before high tide, the rangers will ask you to go back. Therefore: leave at an early time!<\/p>\n

\"cute<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Monteverde, Cloudforest<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n

\"Monteverde<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The mountain where you can touch the clouds! The Monteverde Cloud Forest Biological Preserve was established in 1972 by a coalition of the Tropical Science Center (TSC) scientists and Quakers from the local community to protect one of the last areas of untouched cloud forest in Central America.<\/p>\n

It is a pioneering model for conservation and ecotourism based on biodiversity research and education.<\/p>\n

\"bridge<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Cloudforest has something magical about it; you will feel like you are walking through an enchanted foggy forest. There is a very special atmosphere there. Along the jungle paths and over several impressive hanging bridges you can admire the jungle giants covered with moss and lianas. Hummingbirds are also easy to spot here.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/h3>\n

\"hummingbird\"<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Corcovado<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h3>\n

The Corcovado National Park is the crown jewel of Costa Rica’s national park system. Located on the remote Osa Peninsula in southwestern Costa Rica, Corcovado protects the largest remaining area of primary rainforest on the Pacific coast of Central America.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The area is home to 140 species of mammals, 370 species of birds, and over 10,000 species of insects. National Geographic<\/span> once called it “the most biologically intense place on earth<\/span>.”<\/p>\n

The park can only be entered with a guide<\/span>, the best starting point is the Sirena Ranger Station. However, there are other entry points where you can even hike a bit through the park without a guide. More about it here: my favorite places<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Good<\/span> Vibes<\/span> – My Favorite Places<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Puerto Viejo<\/span> de Talamanca<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/h3>\n

\"beach\"<\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the past few years, I have spent a total of almost a year in Costa Rica and most of that time in Puerto Viejo. For me, there is no place that<\/span> is so rich in contrast<\/span>, so colorful<\/span>, so creative<\/span> and so full of life.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Puerto<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you want to improve yourself, go to Puerto Viejo. There are a variety of workshops, from yoga<\/span> to breathwork classes<\/span>, to ecstatic<\/span> dance,<\/span> permaculture classes<\/span>, and Ayurvedic cooking classes<\/span>. Personally, I met very special people and made friendships in Puerto Viejo that continue to this day – and I know many who feel the same way.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"cute<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Sloth<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Life is vibrant here in dazzling colors<\/span>, from the darkest to the brightest – reggae and reggaeton can be heard on all street corners, and in the evenings there are lively parties<\/span> on the beach and several restaurants with excellent food<\/span>. The best muffins can be found at Caf\u00e9 Caribbeans, the best bowls at the beach restaurant Grow. The most beautiful view, lined with palm trees, and also wonderfully delicious food can be found in the restaurant Spicy Coconut.<\/p>\n

\"Punta<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Also, there are more sloths<\/span> here than I’ve seen anywhere else – keep your eyes open and you will definitely spot one.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Punta Uva<\/span> and Manzanillo\u00a0<\/h3>\n

\"Manzanillo\"<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A bit further south, but still associated with Puerto Viejo, you’ll find one gorgeous beach after another from Punta Uva<\/span> to Manzanillo<\/span>. If you want to sip a drink with your feet in the sand during golden hour, go to the Arrecife Restaurant.<\/p>\n

From there you can walk the whole beach to Manzanillo in one hour. It is beautiful there. At the end of your walk, a shipwreck is waiting for you, and you can even climb on it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"shipwreck\"<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"palmtrees\"<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Jungla del Jaguar, Osa Peninsula<\/h3>\n

\"exotic<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Well, Jungla. Here I still lack words – because here I saw two pumas. You can read more about it here<\/a>. Jungla del Jaguar is a hotel\/hostel and it looks exactly like I always imagined paradise.<\/p>\n

\"Jungla<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Lush green lawn, sandy beach, palm trees, waterfalls, hiking trails through the rainforest. Since the property is next to the Corcovado National Park, you can observe the same diversity of flora and fauna. You can also book boat tours to go snorkeling on a nature-protected, almost untouched island<\/span><\/span> and see dolphins<\/span> – and if you’re lucky, swim with them.<\/p>\n

\"Puma\"<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Uvita<\/h3>\n

\"Uvita\"<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I was in Uvita<\/span> for the first time 15 years ago – a lot has changed since then. The place has grown a lot, which is mainly due to the Envision Festival<\/span>, the largest festival in Costa Rica, which takes place there annually on the beach and in the rainforest. What has remained the same is the kilometer-long impressive sandy beach, which is part of the Ballena National Park<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Since the beach is part of the national park, you also have to pay an entrance fee, but it definitely pays off. Ballena is Spanish and means whale. The national park was named after the spit of land reaching into the sea, which is shaped like a whale’s fin.<\/p>\n

\"Uvita\"<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Unique places in the world are everywhere – Karla<\/a> has found one in Oaxaca, for example. Join her on her journey to Mexico!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

For foodies – what you need to try<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Gallo Pinto<\/span> is THE national dish of Costa Rica and I highly recommend you try it! There are different variations, but a few components always remain the same: tasty seasoned rice with beans, plus salad and plantains. Most of the time there are two options you can choose: Chicken meat and fish. The dish is also often served as breakfast.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other traditional dishes include stuffed and fried dumplings called empanadas<\/span>, which you can buy on any street corner (filled with meat or potatoes), and pico de gallo,<\/span> a refreshing tomato salad. Grilled meat skewers are also popular, also offered at small stalls and often eaten after a long night of partying, and are often the only stalls that also offer their food late into the night.<\/p>\n

What I love to do in other countries is just buy different fruits and vegetables that I don’t know and try everything. I particularly like biriba<\/span>, mangosteen<\/span> and rambutan<\/span> (picture below). However, with some vegetables, you have to be careful if they belong to those that are only edible when cooked.<\/p>\n


\"Rambutan\"<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Of course, these exotic fruits are not only native to Costa Rica – but they can also be found in other tropical countries, such as parts of South America. Interested? Then take a look at Paulina’s<\/a> trip!<\/p>\n
