Like many Latin American countries, Costa Rican food usually consists of rice and beans, and Gallo Pinto is probably one of the most famous dishes. It is a breakfast dish with rice, beans, cilantro, peppers, onions, and a mouth-watering Lizano sauce, usually served with tortillas, eggs, bleu cheese, and sweet fried plantain. Rice and beans are also served for lunch and dinner, but usually with chicken, pork or beef. The dishes here are all very simple, but they always taste amazing.

Arenal Volcano, not far from San Jose, is not only one of the world's most famous volcanoes but also has a majestic view, especially when the weather is good, against the blue sky and white clouds. When you come here, you can experience a unique activity - soaking in the volcanic hot springs. The picturesque scenery of the lake and mountains near the volcano and the hot spring rivers winding through it make it possible to soak in the hot springs almost anytime and anywhere, so there are many visitors to this place. Most of the hot springs here are built along the mountain, so people can enjoy the beauty of the surrounding nature while soaking in the hot springs and looking at the steam above the hot springs will give them a feeling of being in a fairyland on earth.
