National Parks we have visited in Costa Rica

There are plenty of National Parks, Forests, Reserves, etc.one can visit in Costa Rica. Some of them are more popular than the other ones, what makes them pretty crowded... However in all cases my advice is: if you are planning to visit any of the National Parks in Costa Rica, do it early in the morning, at the time when the Parks open :)

1) LA FORTUNA HANGING BRIDGES

We needed to choose: Arenal Volcano or La Fortuna Hanging Bridges, as we did not have enough time to visit both. The choice was La Fortuna and we did not regret that decision!

2) TENORIO VOLCANO NATIONAL PARK

One of the things I have learned through my travels is that when you go to the tropics, to the regions where it rains a lot, it is worth it to take additionally wellington shoes with you. No matter how good and waterproof your hiking shoes are... and once again it proved to be right 😀

It was very humid on the day we did the trail, but we enjoyed it a lot anyway. Rio Celeste rocks! Especially the place where the two rivers join together: the regular one with "normal" color, and the other turquoise-blue one (with minerals from the volcano). Amazing!

3) MONTEVERDE CLOUD FOREST

If you are low on your budget and can choose only one thing to visit in Monteverde (it has a lot to offer), then choose Monteverde Cloud Forest. If you have an option, you can go to La Fortuna Hanging Bridges in order to experience walking above the forest or through the crowns of the trees. The entrance fee there is cheaper than in Monteverde Hanging Bridges and you can feel the vibe you wanted.

4) MANUEL ANTONIO NATIONAL PARK

This is my favourite from all of the parks we have visited in Costa Rica. I mean, every park has different things to offer, but this one has 100% my taste :)

4) CARARA NATIONAL PARK
