Costa Rica's unique vibe emerges most vividly in its lush landscapes and lively localities. In the central region, the bustling capital of San José offers a mix of cultural and historical experiences, with landmarks like the Teatro Nacional and the bustling Mercado Central drawing visitors to its vibrant streets. Heading west, the Nicoya Peninsula beckons with its laid-back beach towns like Tamarindo, where surfers find world-class waves and sunsets paint the sky in hues of orange and pink.
