Author: Costa Rica Journeys Editors

The Costa Rica Journeys editors have been exploring and writing about Costa Rica since 2011, from the surf towns of the Nicoya Peninsula to the cloud forests of Monteverde and the wild beaches of the Osa. We travel the country, stay in the lodges, hike the trails and talk to the people who live here, so our guides are built on first-hand experience. Our aim is simple: to help you find the places, people and experiences that make Costa Rica one of the most remarkable countries on earth.
