For a visitor, Costa Rica rewards time beyond the surf, with a casado — a set lunch of rice, beans, plantain, salad and a choice of meat or fish — widely available along the coast. The Pacific coast has a marked dry season, while the Caribbean stays wet for much of the year, so timing a trip matters. Cloud forest, rainforest and dry tropical forest all occur within a short drive of each other, and sloths, howler monkeys and scarlet macaws are common in Costa Rican forests and along the coasts.
