How to Plan the Perfect Costa Rica Itinerary with OneTwoTrail

Sometimes, planning a trip feels like juggling pineapples. If this is the case when planning a trip to Costa Rica, OneTwoTrail is here to help. Whether you're hunting for waterfalls, hiking volcanoes, or just trying to spend an off day near and around San José, here’s how to build the perfect Costa Rica itinerary without the spreadsheet meltdown.

Step 1: Know What You Want (and What You Don’t)

First things first—figure out your vibe. Beach bum? Adventure junkie? Hidden gem hunter? OneTwoTrail lets you search and discover experiences relevant to your interests, plus the occasional hidden gem on the trail. Plug in your travel dates and build an itinerary that makes sense for your visit.

Step 2: Pick a Pre-Made Trail or Build Your Own

Short on time? Choose from curated itineraries that hit the highlights or the lesser-known gems (yes, we’re talking about you, Turrialba, and San Gerardo de Dota). Feeling inspired? Start from scratch and build your own, piece by piece, day by day.

Step 3: Organize, Share, and Adjust On-the-Go

Add or delete activities, see recommended places nearby, and discover the many amazing places Costa Rica has to offer. When traveling with others, share your trail and let them pitch in minus the 93 WhatsApp messages.

Step 4: Hit the Road with Confidence

Once you’re ready to go, your itinerary will have offline access and will allow you to use Google Maps or Waze to get there—just pura vida.

Final Word

Planning a trip to Costa Rica doesn’t need to feel like researching for a thesis. With OneTwoTrail, we hope you discover Costa Rica tailored to your desires. Easy, fun, and built just for you.
