Jungle lodges, beach towns and wildlife-watching can all be found on Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast, and Caribbean Travel + Life magazine took a look at the area in its April issue.
The magazine says that while the Pacific side of Costa Rica gets most of the visitors to the country, the Caribbean side has rich rainforests and exotic creatures like howler monkeys, bull sharks and crocodiles. Tortuguero National Park is known for its turtles. The wild beaches, with rainforests often reaching right to the shoreline, include Playa Negra, named for its black volcanic sand. Puerto Viejo is known for surfing.
Caribbean Travel + Life recommends Costa Rica Expeditions, costaricaexpeditions.com, for help in booking your trip. Places to stay mentioned in the article include Tortuga Lodge, Almonds and Corals, Selva Verde and Sueno Azul.
