Samantha Brown's Places to Love

Northern Costa Rica

Samantha explores Costa Rica's beauty, starting at Mistico Park with its hanging bridges and wildlife. At Vida Campesina, she learns about organic farming before taking a safari cruise on the Rio Sarapiqui, spotting exotic birds and crocodiles. She visits the Organization for Tropical Studies and an organic pineapple farm. Meeting the indigenous Maleku people, she witnesses their cultural preservation. At the luxurious Rio Celeste Hideaway Hotel, she relaxes under a tree sloth. At night, she explores the rainforest and concludes her trip with exhilarating whitewater tubing in the Rio Celeste.
