Beginning to take the plunge into honeymoon planning? These Costa Rica honeymoon ideas will set you up for your most romantic trip yet.
The Canopy Suite at Pacuare Lodge
Pacuare Lodge
Picture this getaway at the Pacuare Lodge: raft to a secluded eco-lodge on the Pacuare River, then cross a private suspension bridge to your honeymoon suite, before enjoying an ice-cold bottle of Champagne with your sweetheart. Enjoy hot breakfast in bed served directly to your suite each morning, try a jungle canopy zip-lining adventure, a guided hike through the tropical rainforest, a romantic dinner for two, and a couples massage. Finally, make a memory that will last generations by planting a tree to commemorate your special occasion.
