@Gabriel Traveler greetings from Costa Rica! hey you can also explore a zone called "la zona de los santos" which has more of a mountain terrain (similar to a "tropical swiss alps feel") and its full of biodiversity (you can google it). There is also a town called "Las Catalinas"up northwest in Costa Rica, which is a mediterranean town (also its mostly pedestrian) that you can take awesome hikes with beach views and its free!! Anyway i hope that you enjoy your visit and that you have a wonderful time!

@Dee Absolutely. But they are elusive and primarily active at dawn and dusk so you’ll unlikely ever see one in the wild. Especially given just how dense the forests are. But earlier this year one was spotted chilling on a beach watching surfers at Santa Rosa National Park. Google “Costa rica jaguar beach” and you’ll find some photos the surfers took from a boat they had used to get to the surf spot. There are 6 different types of wild cats that roam Costa Rica. The Jaguar being the largest.

My visit to the Arenal back in 2001 was complemented with one or two rumbles that did startle the people that were there (ten or so, including my family). My grandma was the least impressed as she recalled louder rumbles from the Irazú Volcano's eruption back in 1963.
