Ideal Places to Propose in Costa Rica

So, you've made the most important decision of your life: you're finally going to propose. And on your trip to Costa Rica, too. With just those two things alone, you can already expect lifelong memories to be made on that trip. Right?

Well, if you intend to get her to say yes and make it the most memorable event ever, you need to consider where you're going to pop the question. Fortunately for you, there are tons of exotic places to propose in Costa Rica for you to choose from.

Let the list below, written in no particular order, help narrow down your choices.

Arenal Volcano National Park

This first place on the list happens to be in the central part of Costa Rica and is part of the Arenal Huetar Norte Conservation Area. There are two major natural landmarks within the park: Arenal Volcano and Lake Arenal. This makes it an exciting getaway that no one will ever forget or regret visiting, especially if they received a proposal during the visit.

Manuel Antonio National Park

This second entry may be Costa Rica's smallest national park, but it is among its most popular. In fact, it's so popular that the government is limiting the number of visitors on a daily basis. If you can get in, then the proposal can take place with a diverse audience of fauna watching, including squirrel monkeys, capuchin, sloths, and iguanas.

Chirripo National Park

This national park partly encompasses the provinces of San José, Cartago, and Limón. The park centers around Costa Rica's highest mountain, Cerro Chirripó. That makes this the perfect place for a hike, which can also serve as an exciting distraction before the big event, should you decide to pick this as the place to propose.

Conchal Beach

Conchal beach is one of Costa Rica's top destinations within its North Pacific region. This is perfect for those looking for the tranquility of some place remote and the pristine beauty of white sand beaches. Because of that, this may be the closest to classic proposal site ideas among any other entry on this list.

Tamarindo Beach

This next entry is a district found in Costa Rica's Guanacaste province. Tamarindo is the province's largest developed beach town and is well-known as a surfing spot. The government has also gone to great lengths to ensure the cleanliness of its beaches, which makes this a beautiful spot to propose.

Celeste River

The last place on this list is the Celeste River, which is found in Tenorio Volcano National Park. It is also referred to as Rio Celeste due to its distinct turquoise color. There are several hot springs bordering the river and one waterfall. You can seek any of those breathtaking views out for the proposal.

Marriage may be the toughest biggest leap of faith anyone can make. It does help to kick things off well, so finding the best choice among the many places to propose in Costa Rica is a step in the right direction. Take all the time you need and plan everything out as thoroughly as possible.

After all, it only affects the rest of your married life. No biggie. Right?
