The idea
Instead of separating nature and culture, look for places where they meet: cacao farms inside the forest, coffee on mountain slopes, fishing towns next to national parks.
Three combinations
| Route | Nature | Culture |
|---|---|---|
| La Fortuna | Volcano, river, forest | Cacao, rural cooking, a traditional farmhouse |
| Monteverde | Cloud forest | Highland coffee, a dairy-farming community |
| South Caribbean | Beach and coastal forest | Afro-Caribbean culture, cacao |
