While Secrets Papagayo Costa Rica’s property is absolutely incredible, consider exploring outside of its bounds as well. City goers and foodies will appreciate downtown Liberia, a bustling city just a 30-minute drive away filled with tasty eateries. Nature lovers, on the other hand, will have a whole host of day trip options to choose from: hop on a tour to Arenal Volcano for a soak in a rainforest-framed, volcanic hot spring; swim at the base of the Oropendola Waterfall; or get the thrill of your life on a whitewater rafting adventure on the rushing Tenorio River.
