subject: Spending Your Holidays In Unforgettable Costa Rica [print this page] Costa Rica is a beautiful country in South America that has a lot to offer people looking for an unforgettable holiday. The country sees an influx of vacationers from latter half of November right until March. So during this time, travelers may be unable to buy cheap tickets to Costa Rica. If you are a budget traveler looking for cheap airfares to Costa Rica during peak tourist season, it is best to look for cheap flight deals. Try checking British Airways or low cost airlines, such as WestJet Airlines and Sun Country Airlines, from the U.S. for cheap flights.
Start your holiday from the capital city of San Jose. Here you will be able to visit the Poas Volcano, which is at 8,800 feet. Once you drive all the way to the volcano and actually peek inside the crater to see the sulfur-filled fumes. There is a 750-metre pathway leading to the crater which can be navigated by children too. At the volcano's summit, there are two lakes. One is known as Laguna Caliente and is highly acidic. Hence, this lake does not support any life form. The other lake is known as Lake Botos and has the cloud forest around it. Once you finish with this active volcano, head to the side trails to check out the beautiful cloud forest in the vicinity.
Flights to Costa Rica will allow you to be close to nature. The country has beautiful natural beauty that is well-preserved. So a visit to the Tortuguero National Park is a must. This park can be reached just by a boat that meanders through endless channels, lagoons and canals before allowing you a breathtaking view of natural beauty. The park is worth exploring on foot and once you finish, make sure that you visit the village of Tortuguero and the museum maintained by the Caribbean Conversation Corporation. Here you can learn about the region's green sea turtle that are protected by the Corporation.
You can also visit Puerto Viejo. This region is famous for its unique beaches, which have black and white sand. In addition, the beaches offer a variety of water sports. Close by there is the Cahuita National Park, which is worth visiting to catch a glimpse of endangered animals, such as tapirs, manatees and crocodiles. A truly exhilarating experience when you are able to see these animals up close.
Another volcano that you may want to visit is the Arenal Volcano. This volcano is located inland and past it are the beautiful cloud forests. As you move along, you will reach the beautiful and hospitable town of La Fortuna. If you are lucky, you may even be able to spot the daily eruptions of the volcano, a sight that is frightening and thrilling simultaneously.
No visit to this beautiful country is complete without a visit to Monteverde and its Cloud Forest Biological Reserve. Here you will be able to travel through the forest and watch the magnificent landscape and the vast array of animals and birds.
Every town and village that you go to has excellent shopping opportunities that you should make use of to pick up traditional Costa Rican items to present family and friends back home.
