It isn’t entirely unlikely that you have heard of other cities in the Limon region, such as Puerto Viejo, Manzanillo, or Punta Uva.

Float in the pool below its torrent (resting in an old volcanic crater) and gaze around you at the crowds of hummingbirds buzzing above your head, and the artwork that is the crater walls: colorfully striped by time. Fed by an extinct volcano, this waterfall is most certainly off the beaten track. As if that weren’t enough to make you all but fall in love, you may also choose to visit what is called “Costa Rica’s Ultimate Secret®,” the Catarata del Toro waterfall. This region contains countless hiking trails with endless magnificent spots waiting to be discovered, such as the crystalline and strikingly vibrant turquoise waters of the Catarata Río Agrio or Pozas Celeste. There are many ways to experience this area, but perhaps the best way to start is to choose accommodation that is a bit “in the middle of nowhere.” Isolate yourself in a cozy mountain lodge and spend your days lazily cuddled up in front of a fireplace with an exquisite forest view, or save that comfortability for later and spend the day discovering some of the best wilderness that Costa Rica has to offer.
Hidden somewhere in the gorgeous region of Alajuela, just a couple of hours North of nation’s capital city of San Jose lies the diamond in the rough that is Bajos del Toro. Once you’re finished adventuring for the day, either set up camp at one of the designated campgrounds just outside of the national park (if you’re feeling rustic) or treat yourself to a luxurious resort where you may relax in jungle paradise before getting muddied-up all over again the next day. Otherwise, summit the volcano itself and step right into a real volcanic crater, spotting tons of incredible wildlife along the way. You’ll have plenty of options as far as hiking goes-including one option to hike to a breathtaking waterfall on the Blue Lake and Congrejo Falls trail, which will take you 6.5 miles straight into the Costa Rican rainforest. These mud baths can be artificially found in a small number of surrounding resorts or stumbled upon naturally while taking one of the many established hiking trails in the area. These active sister volcanoes are of but a few locations in the country where you can indulge in the uniquely pampering experience of bathing in a volcanic mineral mud bath. While both of those locations are undeniably stunning, Rincon de La Vieja will be like nothing you have ever experienced before.
Other travelers may catch a glimpse of these wonders as they make their way from Monteverde to La Fortuna (two outstanding, and tourist-packed cities). dollar, many locals speak English, and there are lots of towns which almost seem like they were designed specifically for American tourists… but, what about those of us who travel seeking a little something more? What about those of us who want to experience traveling in a way that possibly nobody else has before? While this can be tricky in a destination as popular as Costa Rica, here are some essential itinerary additions that will, without a doubt, make your trip one-of-a-kind.
That being said, it can be a challenge to find true, deep authenticity when you’re walking along streets lined with chain resorts and tour offices. Budget-conscious backpackers and splurging honeymooners alike can make their way through this spectacular nation without ever running out of things to do or see. Costa Rica has built a reputation for itself as Central America’s most touristic country.
