Costa Rica, Central America
Costa Rica Escape
May 27 – June 1, 2021
This Memorial Day Weekend, travelers are treated to the ultimate escape via a 6-day getaway to Costa Rica that explores Guanacaste’s Peninsula Papagayo, and offers an optional excursion to the Arenal Volcano & Hot Springs Rainforest. Situated between Nicaragua and Panama in Central America, Costa Rica offers its visitors surreal experiences and scenery. Picture yourself ziplining through the famous cloud forests of Monteverde, relaxing in a hot spring at the popular Arenal Volcano National Park, or hiking scenic trails to see the stunning 230-foot-tall Fortuna River Waterfall in person—all of which and more is at the tips of your fingers while on this journey. Expect to reconnect with nature in Guanacaste’s Peninsula Papagayo, located in the northwest region of Costa Rica. This private paradise is a prime destination for any and all outdoor enthusiasts, with 11 miles of coastline, 21 uncrowded beaches, and 4 UNESCO-certified World Heritage sites, including the 350,000-plus acres of Área de Conservación Guanacaste. Explorers will also have the opportunity to cross over country borders and soak up the architectural beauty of Granada in western Nicaragua, founded in 1524 and considered one of the most vital cities in the country. Here, history buffs will enjoy the ancient Spanish colonial landmarks still standing. If you’re looking for an escape from reality—and the walls of your home—look no further than Costa Rica.
