Costa Rica & Mexico Travel Review: La Fortuna, Monteverde, Manuel Antonio, Volcano, Hiking, Waterfalls, Safari, Beaches

We loved every minute of this trip! The agent was excellent and listened to what we were looking for and found hotels that matched our desires. We were looking for places surrounded by nature and that is what we got. The first hotel, in La Fortuna, was amazing! The view of the volcano and the grounds were wonderful! I loved our own cabin and deck. We enjoyed the tours that we completed in that area, The volcano hike and the La Fortuna waterfall with lunch after. The lunch was a complete meal and really delicious! We also did a float safari and sloth tour, which were so wonderful! I can't recommend them enough! The float safari was relaxing, and we saw such a variety of wildlife. We were able to see sloths and even babies on the sloth tour, which was not a refuge just natural habitat. The next stop for us was Monteverde and we stayed at a hotel where we could walk to town or just up the road for food and drinks and the nature trail behind was excellent for seeing wildlife. The tours we did there were a night hike and the swing bridges. The nigh hike was informational, and the swing bridges really were amazing, even though I am afraid of heights...Our next stop was Manuel Antonio and the place we stayed at was so top notch! The included breakfast was anything you can imagine done excellently. We loved the property and we walked to the public beach and town. Our day at Manuel Antonio was excellent, the guide was awesome! We loved seeing all the Capuchin monkeys near the cafe. The beach was divine, and we saw monkeys and sloths there too! Definitely plan on staying as long as you want and take the bus back to your hotel for like a dollar a person.
