Beyond the Postcard: 10 Costa Rica Myths Exposed Costa Rica gets treated like a glossy travel brochure come to life: palm trees, surfboards, perfect sunsets, and a sloth smiling down from every branch. The internet loves to tell tall tales about this place, and plenty of travellers arrive expecting one long hammock commercial. The truth is far more interesting, a little grittier, and often a lot funnier. Let’s shake out the beach towel and set the record straight.

Some myths make Costa Rica sound too perfect while others sell it short. The truth is far more interesting. Here is what travellers keep getting wrong. #CostaRica #ExploreCostaRica

Meet the squirrel monkey: a tiny acrobat of the Costa Rican rainforest! 🐒🌿 With its bright coat and playful energy, it lives in lively troops, leaping through the canopy. A true gem of the tropics! 🌎✨ #Wildlife #ExploreCostaRica #AnimalsOfInstagram #RainforestLife #TravelPhotography #NatureLovers

The mantled howler monkey quickly became my favorite monkey in Costa Rica. Sure, they would wake us up by 4:30am every day, but they made each sighting worth it!
