Day 1
Puntarenas
Step ashore in Puntarenas, Costa Rica’s long, narrow port city on the Pacific coast. From here, rainforest reserves, coffee country and the Nicoya Peninsula lie within reach. Walk the waterfront promenade for seafood and views across the Gulf of Nicoya. Or head inland to Monteverde’s cloud forest. Plan one excursion and allow time for the road; Puntarenas is best enjoyed at an unhurried pace.

Day 5
Tortuga Island Costa Rica
Off Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula, Tortuga Island sits in the Gulf of Nicoya, a boat ride from the mainland. White sand and clear water set the scene for swimming and snorkeling among offshore reefs. Day visitors can also kayak or relax beneath the palms, with little to distract from the coast. Bring sun protection: services are limited, and this is a beach escape, not a town visit.
