Sarapiqui Braulio Carrillo N. P. SAN JOSE Arenal Volcano N. P. Tamarindo Monteverde Cloud Forest Gulf of NicoyaCorcovado N. P. Cahuita N. P. Costa Rica San José is the capital of Costa Rica and the country's main transportation hub. Its central location means that most visitors will spend some time here. The downtown area is fairly small and there are several interesting museums and parks. Of special interest is historic Barrio Amón where many of the cafetalero ( coffee baron) mansions have been restored to their former glory. At an elevation of around 1200 metres, San José enjoys a near- perfect temperature of around 21° C all year round. The Alta Hotel MID The Alta Hotel is a delightful boutique property, tastefully decorated and with wonderful views of surrounding valleys. You can see the views from your room's balcony! Another attraction of The Alta Hotel is its restaurant, fusion cuisine made from lovely, fresh produce. Xandari Resort and Spa HIGH The 21 huge private villas are on a high hilltop 20 minutes from San José. Each villa has its own walled terrace for privacy and solitude, and a large viewing terrace overlooking the surrounding coffee farms and the central valley below. The hotel also has a spa, restaurant, two swimming pools, an orchid house and over four kilometres of private scenic trails. Grano de Oro HIGH Elegant and refi ned, Grano de Oro is located just off San Jose's main street - a haven in the heart of the city. The hotel is a converted Victorian mansion, and retains its old world charm and homely atmosphere throughout. If you're looking for luxury, this hotel is for you! San José In focus July to September Green, leatherback and hawksbill turtles gather in Tortuguero National Park, where night walks are organised. December to January Humpback and sperm whales can be seen along the coastline of the Corcovado National Park in southern Costa Rica. Costa Rica is one of the fi nest countries in Central America for wildlife viewing, offering a simply exceptional biodiversity and a proud heritage of wildlife preservation with world- class parks and reserves. Visitors on a two week trip can easily take in all the main wildlife and scenic areas. Highlights include watching turtles coming ashore to lay their eggs, howler monkeys swinging through the jungle canopy, toucans and brightly coloured parrots fl itting through the forests, plus tiny colourful tree frogs resting on bright green leaves. We can easily organise self- drive programmes or fully- escorted private trips, or perhaps a combination of the two depending on your preference. 132Talk to an expert 0845 130 6982 |
