A Week is All? We’ve Got You Covered

Ready to travel? Explore what Howler has in the way of articles that can help you make plans for an exquisite getaway. Not everyone has the luxury of time to travel and see everything. There is so much to see and travel times between locations can eat up lots of your vacation. 

 

Naturally, the more time you are able to spend in Costa Rica, the better. When it comes to infinite possibilities for enjoying your visit here, never be deceived by the relatively small size of this country on the world map. You will never run out of places to go or things to do during a stay lasting from two weeks to two months or longer. If a shorter trip is all you can manage, 10 days may be preferable on the minimum end of the scale. 

 

However, don’t rule out the opportunity to get a great taste of Costa Rica if limited to just a week. There are more possibilities than you might think. Whether your international flight lands and takes off from San José or Liberia, either Costa Rican hub has you covered for an unforgettable seven-day vacation.

 

With a limitless variety and number of choices, we’re giving you a sense of some popular places that are no more than three hours away from each home base. All are easy to research online, including at howlermag.com. Take advantage of the time you have now to check them out. 

 

Hope to see you soon!
