COSTA RICA
Cascada Calientes
Uninterrupted relaxation, exploring natural wonders and the possibility of daring adventures are just a few things that make Costa Rica an unforgettable vacation hot spot. By Lindsey Epperly
Cascada Grande
My whirlwind tour of Costa Rica began with a one night stay in thecountry’s capital of San Jose. As a tourism destination, San Jose is not much to see, but the best destinations in Costa Rica take at least a couple of hours to get to from San Jose, so travelers might have to spend the night here before beginning their tour. If this is the case, settle for nothing less than a club level room at the Intercontinental San Jose.
El Silencio
El Silencio Forest
El Silencio is perfect for honeymooners and nature lovers. Guests have access to nature trails, a cultural discovery tour, bird watching, guided hiking tours, and can even go fishing for their trout dinner. Almost all of El Silencio’s menu items are grown and raised right on property, plus, three daily a la carte meals are included in the room rates.

Los Perdidos Bar
After a few days in La Fortuna, it was time to experience a more laid-back beach town. During our five hour transfer, our guide stopped the bus at Tárcoles River Bridge, a sightseeing spot best known for the crocodiles relaxing beneath the bridge. At our guide’s instruction, we walked onto the two-foot sidewalk. Beneath us, five crocodiles sunbathed on the riverbank, another six snaked through the water, and a countless number swam beneath the river’ssurface, undetected by the naked eye.
