Nothern Region Costa Rica Real Estate

Considered by many people to be one of the most spectacular regions in the country, the North Region is Costa Rica’s hottest tourist destination. The Arenal Volcano is one of the ten most active volcanoes in the world and presents a truly majestic sight, as it spews molten rocks and ash from its summit on a daily basis. With regular eruptions, you can hear the rumbling and see steam rising as lava flows down the slopes of the volcano.

One of the best places to see the Arenal Volcano's awe-inspiring fireworks is at La Fortuna, a tiny town located near the slopes of the volcano. The perfect place to enjoy the area’s superb beauty, La Fortuna is a tourist place that retains much of its original Tico charm. There are also many natural hot spring waters there as well as resorts where one can pamper themselves taking a long relaxing soak with beautiful orchid gardens.

Across from the Arenal Volcano you can find the sparkling Arenal's Lake, a delight for sports fishermen and avid windsurfing enthusiasts. One of the best places in the world to go windsurfing as the breeze here is very consistent. This lake transforms itself into a windsurfer's paradise from December to April with an unbelievable view of the Arenal Volcano in the distance. This lake is also home of many freshwater fish including the Rainbow Bass, locally known as Guapote that can weigh up to 4 kg.

For nature lovers, the Costa Rican North region also offers numerous hiking and trekking trails near the volcano where you can see some stunning waterfalls, gushing rivers, and beautiful plants and wildlife. Just north of this area you meet with the Caño Negro Nature Reserve that is also definitely worth to visit. You can arrange a trip from either Tilaran or Monteverde the second most popular tourist destination in Costa Rica. Caño Negro is one of the most naturally breathtaking places in the country, which offers all day tours, where you go by bus and then, get transported to the river. In the river you are headed downstream along with the guide to see a plethora of animals and birds, including monkeys, toucans, alligators, and much more.
