Kayak through mangrove forests where monkeys swing overhead and scarlet macaws flash between the trees. Nearby Corcovado National Park offers guided hikes to spot tapirs, while local boat captains take you to prime snorkeling spots off Caño Island.

I am surrounded by mountains, forest, and the occasional farm on this bus ride. Onboard are thirty other Ticos chattering away, laughing, and telling each other stories about their week. I turn to the window and enjoy in the Costa RIcan countryside. At this moment, I think to myself, 'You know what, I think right now is a good time for wine.'
