The best in Costa Rica - including insider travel tips
On our pages we show more than “highlights”!
There is so much to see in Costa Rica that we filled many pages with it.
the regions of Costa Rica
Costa Rica can be roughly divided into six regions
They should not be confused with the political provinces (there are 7 of them).
Central Valley Costa Rica
The central valley is the region around the capital San José.
The valley extends from the central mountains to the north to the "Cordillera de Talamanca" to the south of the valley. Juan Santamaria International Airport ( SJO ) is also located here.
The central Pacific coast
is the actual local recreation area for people from San José and the surrounding area.
San José to Calderas, the nearest beaches are only 50-60 minutes away from San José.
South Pacific region
The journey to the south is quite long and a bit boring
But then you will be rewarded. The south with the Osa Peninsula and the Corcovado National Park is one of the very special destinations in the country.
