The Northern region is viewed by many to be the most beautiful region of Costa Rica. The area sweeps from the western swamps of the northern Caribbean to the Miravalles and Tenorio Volcano area. Popular destinations include Arenal Volcano, Monteverde, Sarapiqui and Rio Celeste. The Arenal Volcano area is a lush rainforest zone with loads of wildlife and is also the adventure capital of Central America. Monteverde is a birdwatchers paradise and also home to some of the best ziplines in the world. Sarapiqui is also excellent for bird watching, but is located much lower in elevation creating habitat for many different species of birds. Rio Celeste is home to the most beautiful waterfall in Costa Rica as well as vast expanses of jungle. Click below to read more about the Northern Zone of Costa Rica.
