Costa Rica Cruise Highlights

Costa Rica is a favorite for adventurers looking to zipline through the jungle, climb amidst the canopies, or hike up to a volcano. Nature-lovers will love the vast array of eco-tourism and outdoor opportunities, like boating through Tortuguero National Park, whitewater rafting on the Pacuare River or chocolate tasting and birdwatching at the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, La Selva. Learn about Costa Rica's culture at the Teatro Nacional or the intimate Jazz Cafe.

Popular Costa Rica Cruise Ports

Though a relatively small country, Costa Rica is home to many ports. Here are three favorites:

• San Jose: Discover Costa Rica's capital, located in the center of the country, and its enviable climate - described as "eternal spring." San Jose is a bustling city with more than 300,000 residents, and is home to many museums, cultural centers and ancient churches.
• Los Suenos: A resort area located southwest of San Jose, Los Suenos offers access to the Carara Biological Reserve, home to rare scarlet macaws and dozens of other unique animals, as well as excellent billfishing locations.
• Drake Bay: First discovered by Sir Francis Drake in 1579, Drake Bay is a tiny town with a rich history. A visit to the Corcovado National Park is a must, and water lovers will be in paradise with many opportunities to scuba dive, swim, snorkel or kayak.
