Results for Provincia de Alajuela, La Fortuna, Costa Rica
Costa Rica is among the most well known countries in Central America, because of its lush and wild vegetation as well as beaches and wildlife.
In this guide, I share with you my opinion of each of the places I've been to in Costa Rica, which can be considered controversial but these will be the most honest thoughts you'll find. Although Costa Rica was a beautiful place to see, my honest opinion is that it's overrated and super expensive. Along the guide, you'll read my opinion about each of the locations I visited in Costa Rica, and the best recommendations together with some tips so you don't make the same mistakes I made, and you can enjoy to the fullest of each place you visit during your trip to Costa Rica. And I am also revealing some hidden and lesser known places for the most adventurous ones!
The guide is divided by regions and subdivided by specific locations. For each location I mention, I'll be sharing how to get there, and my honest opinion about the place ("❗EVA'S TIP")
This guide is for those who want to explore beyond the touristic areas, as well as for those who love adventure, nature and travelling more into the wild! This guide will help you avoid some mistakes I made and that didn’t let me fully enjoy Costa Rica in the way I like.
Now, let’s travel to Costa Rica, PURA VIDA! 🏝

This itinerary is perfect for a Saturday through following Sunday week-long trip, but could be adapted to any date range. The trip is laid out with stops in three popular Northern cities, but any city could be added or removed to extend or shorten the trip. The itinerary assumes you have rented a car to travel between each destination, but there you can also find plenty of options to take shuttles between each city.
Why this guide?
🎟️ Advance ticket purchase recommendations. Avoid the lines - and disappointment - by booking tickets ahead of time. You'll be guaranteed entrance and will enjoy walking straight in, past any lines for ticket purchases. Special call outs for combo tickets to bundle and save will also be included where available!
🧾 Location-specific packing list. This won't be a comprehensive list (surely you've remembered your socks), but it will cover some key items to toss in your bag for a truly great experience at your destination.
🏆 Honorable mentions. Unless you booked a one way ticket (jealous!), you've only got a limited time to explore. The suggested itinerary includes my opinions of the best choices for first time visitors with general interest. Feel free to swap those out with any of the honorable mentions.
✨ And finally...
If you are looking for a more tailored experience with a unique twist based on your interests, travel dates, and more, a custom itinerary may be best. I look forward to helping bring your vacation vision to life!
