As one of the world’s top three travel destinations, Costa Rica rewards those who plan ahead, while still allowing for plenty of spontaneity. With fall 2022 approaching, and another new year on its heels, now is the time to start checking out your options. Howler is an exceptional resource for researching must-do activities in can’t-miss locales from coast to coast.
Even for those who can’t spend more than seven days here in paradise, it’s possible to sample a remarkable variety of sights and experiences. The key is to organize your trip in proximity to one of Costa Rica’s two international airports. Howler is happy to show you how to map out your itinerary from either landing spot, San José or Liberia.
We also take you this month to the storied San Lucas prison island, an iconic San José soda, and some urban street art scenes. And our top-trekking contributor, Tom Schultz, shares highlights of his travels much further afield in Uganda.
