Part 6/7:
While costs can be higher than expected—similar to Ottawa prices in US dollars—Emma suggests finding budget-friendly accommodations among the hostels or unique stays in the southern region.
Hidden Gems and Attractions
There are countless attractions worth visiting beyond the popular tourist spots. The waterfalls in the southern region, particularly in places like La Fortuna, are a must-see. Consider the unique experience of visiting the Starbucks Hacienda Coffee Farm, the only Starbucks coffee farm globally, which offers tours and an exclusive menu.
For those seeking a truly off-the-beaten-path experience, Emma recommends visiting KRA Gata Waterfall. However, note that obtaining access is complex and often requires a knowledgeable guide for safety.
