Holidays in El Castillo

When your boss is on your back cos you've chucked too many sickies, it's time to take a break from the nine-to-five and say hello to El Castillo!

If you're on the road with the kids, go wild at Butterfly Conservatory or the Arenal Eco Zoo. Kids not worn out yet? Keep the good times coming at Costa Rica Sky Adventures.

Are you keen on picking up seashells and chilling out with ocean views? Jaco Beach is situated 90 kilometres from El Castillo. Sitting 100 kilometres away, Santa Teresa Beach is another excellent option.

Feel like some time out in nature? Dig out your car keys and venture out to Baldi Hot Springs, 10 kilometres from El Castillo. Alternatively, feel the warm glow of the sun on your skin at La Fortuna Waterfall, 10 kilometres away.

Head 50 kilometres southeast to Guillermo Vargas Roldan Stadium to watch a thrilling live game of soccer. Located in San Ramon, this stadium is the home of the Asociación Deportiva Ramonense, so slip into some red and white and get ready for some fun!

If you're looking to do a bit of exploring, add a jaunt to La Fortuna to your plan. This place is 13 kilometres to the northeast and is the home of Los Lagos Hot Springs and Ecotermales Fortuna. Need more ideas? Monteverde is 14 kilometres to the southwest of El Castillo and is known for Selvatura Adventure Park and the Monteverde Butterfly Garden.

Feel like going to Victoria Park, Puntarenas Pier and Puntarenas Cathedral? Get moving to Puntarenas, 50 kilometres to the south, and set up camp. These sights, along with the Museo Histórico Marino and the La Casa de la Cultura, are all close.

Would you like to chomp, chew, nibble, gnaw and swig your way around Arenal Volcano Region? A world of tempting flavours awaits you here, so put on your stretchiest jeans and bon appétit!

Pork and chicken are some popular ingredients in many dishes here. If you don't have a taste for them already, you may by the end of your stay!

No self-respecting food lover would visit El Castillo without digging into a handful of the signature recipes, such as casado and arroz con pollo (rice and chicken).

A meal isn't complete without dessert, so don't worry about counting calories and savour one of the most well-liked after-dinner treats, tres leches (custard flan).

To beer or not to beer? Of course, the answer should always be beer. While you're in this neck of the woods, Bavaria is the one you want.

Heard of Ron Centenario? It's a tasty way to add some zing to your evening in Arenal Volcano Region. Have a taste and then order up a round!

Don't let any cultural barriers get in the way of a good time! Make your adventure to Arenal Volcano Region a more satisfying one by memorising a few expressions in the local language. To start with, try to pronounce '¡Que pase un buen día!'. It translates to 'have a nice day'. Another often used phrase is '¡Perdón!' ('excuse me').

What better way to learn about a place than by witnessing a day of national celebration? There'll be loads of festivities planned for Independence Day on the 15th of September.

Before it's time to say "Adiós" to El Castillo, check your pockets for spare change that you can spend on some last-minute keepsakes.
