DESTINATION WEDDING
COSTA RICA
 Though gaining in popularity, Costa Rica remains one of the "best kept
secrets" of vacation destinations. Though it's only as big as West
Virginia, there are few places in the world that compare for the sheer
magnitude of its bio-diversity. Twelve major life zones provide refuge for
over 10,000 kinds of flowering plants, 850 bird species, 3,000 butterfly
species, and 209 mammal species! Active volcanoes, rainforests, cloud
forests, lowland jungles, the dramatic Pacific coastline, and tranquil
Caribbean beaches ramble across seven provinces. Thirty percent of
the land is protected by national and private reserves, which harbor
more than five percent of the world's plant and animal species.
 Equally fantastic are the activities - rafting, scuba diving, jungle hiking,
bird watching, horseback riding, mountain biking, and more. As the
perfect complement to this vacation Eden, Costa Ricans (Ticos, as they
call themselves) are friendly, peaceful people who welcome you to their
country like a long-lost relative. Simultaneously, Costa Rica is known for
the multi-ethnic pleasures of its capital, San José, and as a producer of
some of the world's best coffee. Most Costa Rican vacations begin and
end in the exciting capital, but it's what lies beyond that takes your
breath away!
COSTA RICA
 EC0-NATURE AREAS
 Manuel Antonio: This is a small town with exquisite scenery and astounding ecological treasures. There are
panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, evergreen vegetation, an exciting mix of comfort and adventure, and
popular beaches in Costa Rica. Manuel Antonio was designated as a National Park in 1972, forever preserving
its 1,700 acres of land, 136,000 acres of ocean, and the 109 mammal and 187 bird species that inhabit its
coasts and forests. This privileged place of virgin forests, lagoons, mangroves, beaches, and 12 small islands is
also crucial as a nesting and feeding ground for many sea birds. Venture along the jungle trails and come face
to face with toucans, white-faced monkeys, red squirrels, three-toed sloths, and many more!
 Monteverde: This Cloud Forest Reserve is a village as well as a biological reserve. The Dry Season is the best
time for bird-watching and any time of year visitors can enjoy art and butterfly galleries, orchid gardens, a
serpentarium, horseback riding, family restaurants, pubs, craft shops, and more. The Reserve sits on the
Continental Divide in the Tilarán Mountain Range and contains 8 life zones that shelter many rare species such
as the brilliantly-plumed quetzal birds and the endangered gentle tapir, a relative of the horse. Nature trails let
you journey safely and easily through this priceless ecosystem.
 Arenal Region: Facing one of the most active volcanoes of Costa Rica, this is a favorite destination for locals
and tourists. Lake Arenal provides safe viewpoints of the volcanic fireworks, and the Arenal Reservoir is rich in
aquatic resources and wildlife. Hiking and horseback riding are also popular. Take a self-guided tour through the
botanical gardens, handicraft markets, greenhouses, rainforest nature trails, river, waterfalls, keep your eyes
open for the more than 225 species of birds that populate the region, and don't forget a rejuvenating soak in the
Tabacon Hot Springs.
 Osa Peninsula:At the top of the Osa Peninsula, Corcovado National Park offers an extraordinary chance to get
close the diversity of nature. Beside the lush flora of this rain forest reserve, there are 624 species of mammals
birds, reptiles, and amphibians to meet here.
 Tortuguero: Great adventures await in the tropical rain forest of Tortuguero National Park. Your boat guide will
lead you among a network of canals teeming with life, from howler monkeys to herons and more.
COSTA RICA
 BEACH AREAS
 Guanacaste: The largest province in Costa Rica, Guanacaste offers miles of
untouched beaches on the Pacific, and is home to the relaxed beach towns of
Flamingo and Tamarindo. You'll also find some of the country's finest resort
hotels and best nature parks.
 Puntarenas: The closest beach resort to San Jose, Puntarenas features striking
and unusual volcanic black sand beaches. A great starting point for day trips to
the Monteverde Cloud Forest or the Gulf of Nicoya.
 Jaco Beach: Excellent surfing, small native style hotels, restaurants with local
flair and low key entertainment are all part of the Jaco Beach experience. The
area is an ideal base for exploring the Carara Biological Reserve.
 Tambor: You can play all day in the warm Pacific water of Tambor, set on the
Southern end of the Nicoya peninsula. In fact, it's a perfect place to get off the
beaten path and onto the beach!
 Caribbean Coast/Limon: Experience the Caribbean as it was, and as it should
be...pristine beaches, waving palm trees and small quaint hotels. Don't miss the
opportunity to explore at the underwater park in Cahuita.
COSTA RICA
 Costa Rica is a tropical country and has distinct wet and dry seasons. However,
some regions are rainy all year, and others are very dry and sunny for most of
the year. Temperatures vary primarily with elevations, not with seasons: On the
coasts it's hot all year; in the mountains it can be cool at night any time of year.
Frost is common at the highest elevations (3,000-3,600m/9,840-11,808 ft.).
 Generally, the rainy season (or "green season") is from May to mid-November.
Costa Ricans call this wet time of year their winter. The dry season, considered
summer by Costa Ricans, is from mid-November to April. In Guanacaste, the dry
northwestern province, the dry season lasts several weeks longer than in other
places. Even in the rainy season, days often start sunny, with rain falling in the
afternoon and evening.
 October is one of the rainiest months of the year on the west side and in the
mountains of Costa Rica. The Pacific beaches and central region get significant
rain most days; generally with a pattern of sunny mornings followed by showers
in the afternoon or evening. Occasionally tropical lows stall off west coast or the
edge of a hurricane skims across from the Caribbean bringing several days of
continuous heavy rains.
 The southern Pacific and Osa peninsula are inundated by days or even weeks of
continuous rainfall driven by westerly winds and referred to as temporales del
Pacífico. Rain is measured in feet rather than inches. Many of the lodges and
tour operators are closed until November.
