re: Costa Rica for honeymoon

How many days total will you be there?



My husband and I went for our honeymoon in CR March 2013. Amazing trip.


We booked entire thing(except flights) through Gecko Trails. Travel company in CR. Literally stepped off plane and everything already taken care of. All transportation, excursions and hotels.

We flew into San Jose, spent 2 nights in Monteverde(rainforest high up in the mountains...gorgeous and amazing zipling); spent 2 nights in Arenal volcano area(must see); and spent 3 nights in Manuel Antonio on Pacific side.



My best advice if you want to hop around and stay in different places....PACK LIGHT!!!!

Don't bring a suitcase....bring a backpack like one would backpack through Europe in. Then you can take the small planes to each location. Instead of driving 4 hours. Don't let the maps fool you. It looks close together on the map but because of the road conditions....takes much longer than you think.


Our biggest regret was we packed too much and didn't fly to all our locations while there. Next time we go we will know better.


Excursions we did while there: zip lining, white water rafting, volcano hike and going to natural hot springs, rappelling waterfalls, and a failed attempt at scuba diving
