Puntarenas Puntarenas 12/21/2024 Located on the Gulf of Nicoya, the small town of Puerto Caldera is one of Costa Rica’s top attractions, perfect for travelers who like more off the beaten path destinations where the native Tico lifestyle can be experienced. It is the gateway to San Jose, Jaco and the big city of Puntarenas, plus Los Suenos and Tortuga Island. Carara National Park is nearby, the rainforest home to crocodiles, over 400 species of birds and is considered the most likely place to see scarlet macaws.	12/21/2024	12/21/2024
Playa Flamingo Playa Flamingo 12/22/2024 Playa Flamingo is considered one of Central America’s most beautiful beaches with it pristine blue water, exotic marine life, and some of the best deep sea fishing to be found. Located in Punta Salinas on the country’s Gold Coast, Playa Flamingo is the only full-service marina between Acapulco and Panama. Other water activities include year-round SCUBA diving, swimming, and snorkeling. The stunning and unspoiled white-sand beaches will remain in your memory for years to come.

Puerto Corinto Puerto Corinto 12/23/2024 This busy commercial port is a gateway city to the Nicaragua San Cristobal Volcano Summit, the highest volcano in Nicaragua that offers challenging treks that are rewarded with panoramic views of the countryside and the Pacific Ocean. Or hike to the crater rim of Volcan Telica to look down into the sea of lava and listen to the ongoing roar. Find the UNESCO-designated Old City of Colonial Leon, filled with deteriorating churches and streetscapes and a blend of Baroque, Neoclassical and Gothic styles.	12/23/2024	12/23/2024
San Juan Del Sur San Juan Del Sur 12/24/2024 San Juan del Sur is a tranquil fishing village nestled at the head of a horseshoe-shaped bay on the Pacific coast of southern Nicaragua. The lovely bay is peppered with small, private yachts, and commercial fishing boats. Sign up for a shore excursion and see it all.
