12 Cliché Vacation Spots That Deserve Another Chance

Costa Rica may be seen as one of the easiest Central American countries to go to because it's the most commercialized for tourists. While that may be true, it makes life a bit easier when trying to get a taste of Latin America if you're not well-versed in Spanish or prepared to get too out of your comfort zone. As Costa Rica is an entire country and not just a single city, going to multiple locations on your tour will give you a sense of the landmass. Manuel Antonio on the coast is where you'll get your beach vacation while Monteverde in the forest can be where you can soar through the trees on a zip-line.
