Weddings in Costa Rica
If you would like to get married in a beautiful tropical setting,
a Costa Rican wedding is for you. A natural paradise of rainforests,
sandy beaches and exotic vegetation, Costa Rica is renowned as
a tranquil destination where the ecosystem is respected. The capital
of Costa Rica, San José, is a relaxed city with many excellent
museums which showcase Central American culture. There are also
several lively markets to explore, and high quality restaurants
which serve up delicious meals which always include many local
fresh fruit and vegetables.
The northwest of the country is home to two stunning natural parks.
The first, Volcán Arenal, is centered around the world's
largest active spring volcano - an impressive sight. The second,
Santa Rosa, is home to rare sea turtles, and to the last remaining
tropical dry forest in Central America. Also in the northwest
is Monteverde, a small community founded by the Quakers in 1951
which is fascinating to visit. It includes a cloud forest and
a butterfly garden.
You will be able to hold your wedding ceremony surrounded by this
natural beauty, exotic flowers twined into your hair. Your wedding
reception is a chance to celebrate to the sound of Latin rhythms,
sipping tropical cocktails and sampling the mouthwatering national
cuisine.
Costa Rica's Pacific beaches are perfect for surfing, swimming,
or simply soaking up the sun. Several luxury resorts are strung
along the coast, and it is still possible to find romantic deserted
beaches to watch the sun go down. The tropical haven of Costa
Rica is a beautiful place to get married… you may find it
hard to leave! |
