Costa Rica is known for its beautiful, sandy beaches, and rich cultural background. Costa Rica is a lively country filled with cultural flare, featuring festivals year-round that reflect the deeply ingrained heritage of the people. Carnival in December, Costa Rica's Independence Day in September, and Corpus Christi Day in May are just a few of the festivals this area is known for.
Costa Rica is known for the rich cultural history and as such its streets are often crowded with parades and festivals. There are no traditional convention centers in Costa Rica, as the streets host the thousands of celebrants with each passing festival.
Visitors can expect to dine on exotic tropical cuisine that is native to the country. During festivals, there are street carts serving local food, so visitors can easily eat their fill while they celebrate.
Visitors can expect to spend their days marveling at the natural wonders of Costa Rica with attractions like the San Lorenzo Canopy Tour in Guanacasta, where visitors can tour the tree tops, and the Mystic Dive Center only 30 minutes from Playa Dominical, where visitors can enjoy all the wonders the sea has to offer.
San Jose is perhaps the best bet when it comes to shopping, as it is the commercial epicenter of the country. Galeria Namu, Hummingbird Gallery, and Biesanz Woodworks are all craft sellers that are centrally located in San Jose, where you can purchase one of a kind Costa Rican crafts.
