What are some of the most popular destinations to visit on a Mexico and Costa Rica Cruise?
Baja California, on the Pacific coast of Mexico, is an iconic destination. Known for its beaches, picturesque rock formation “El Arco”, and marine wildlife, Cabo San Lucas is a bucket-list vacation spot. Further south, Puerto Vallarta’s colorful streets will delight, and new flavors will excite. Take a long stroll down the iconic boardwalk stopping for refreshing dips in azure waters, sail off the coast in search of marine wildlife, sample local seafood and the best tequila in the region, or learn how to cook traditional Mexican dishes. Passing by the emerald coast of Oaxaca, the nine bays of Huatulco, Mexico, will steal your heart. It’s no wonder that Huatulco’s impeccable nature and beaches made an appearance in a film where characters chase a fictitious beach. While not as well-known as its Caribbean Sea counterparts, Huatulco offers more than idyllic beaches. During your stay, you will have the opportunity to encounter Oaxaca’s rich heritage, and explore local specialties such as chocolate, mole, and mescal.
The dreamy name of this top Costa Rican destination is a spoiler alert. Playas del Coco, as the name suggests, are unspoiled beaches and luscious jungle backdrops. There are plenty of water activities to keep you entertained, like snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, and surfing. But there are also hiking trails through national park grounds and horseback riding. And while docking in Puerto Caldera, you will get the opportunity to meet monkeys, sloths, and the diverse local bird population as you wander the magical nature reserves in Monteverde. From the Arenal volcano to the vibrant capital of San Jose, your cruise will be engraved in your memory for a lifetime.
