Question

i'm thinking about back packing in costa rica, have anyone here did that before and what's the most beautiful/interesting places to see..i didn't get the lonly planet guide yet just wana hear pepoles opinions..thanks in adavace:)

Answer 1

They have a back packing paradise place in Puerto Viejo, Limon.. I didnt stay there, but it looked super fun. If you look it up online, you will see that backpackers from all over the world go there. I recommed you visit Manuel Antonio, as well.. It is beautiful.

Answer 2

There are plenty of backpackers in Costa Rica, and lots of cabinas and hostels where you can stay between $5-15.

In my opinion, 3 of the most unique places to visit (in order) are:

Arenal Volcano - http://www.arenal.net

Monteverde Cloud Forest - http://www.monteverdeinfo.com

Manuel Antonio - http://www.anywherecostarica.com/manuel-...

There are tons of other places to explore here though, make sure and do your research. Some people just want to stay on the beaches, while others want to take in the most unique things about the country. There are plenty of both!

Answer 3

costa rica is an adventure. come and enjoy. there is lots of places you'll love and you can back pack.

Answer 4

costa rica is a nice place for backpacking, consider to visit irazu al arenal volano, venado caverns in Nicoya, braulio carrillo and monteverde reserves (rain forest), Guanacaste - Pacific Coast- beaches (Samara, Tamarindo, Montezuma).

and stay away from San Jose (capital) and Atlantic Coast (Limon and Puerto Viejo) , so insecure specially at night.

Answer 5

Costa isn't really a "backpacking" type of place. It's all about traveling to the best surf spot. Hermosa has black sand.

Answer 6

Rockin Jay's in Puerto Viejo

Mal Pais Surf Camp

Tucan Hotel in Uvita

Tortilla Flats in Dominical

all can accommodate backpackers safely, reasonable price, good places to meet people and party er up...been to all of em...all of em rock.  Have fun  Bueno Suerte
