FOUR SEASONS RESORT COSTA RICA AT PENINSULA PAPAGAYOCosta Rica is a rugged, rainforested Central American country with coastlines on the Caribbean and Pacific, it is a peaceful small democracy, barely 200 miles wide and 300 miles long, it is sandwiched between Panama to the South and Guatemala to the North, Its capital, San Jose, is centrally located, and the main entry point for the 1.7 M visitors, mainly from the USA and Canada.
Costa Rica is known for its beaches, volcanoes, and biodiversity. Roughly a quarter of its area is made up of protected jungle, teeming with wildlife including spider monkeys and quetzal birds.
We had arrived from Dallas about a four hour flight to the Liberia International Airport ( LIR) a city in northern Costa Rica, near to the Papagayo Peninsula where we had chosen to stay at the Four Seasons Resort a secluded luxury resort overlooking the Pacific.
The hotel arranged the transfer and has everything you could wish for to have a totally restful week in this tropical paradise. Our fabulous beach side room with bath tub views of the turquoise water.
