1	Tuesday, 2/10/26	About Puntarenas Puntarenas is the Pacific coast gateway to Costa Rica. From Puntarenas visit the Rain Forest, Cloud Forest and Poas National Park. Also see San Jose, the capital city, located in the central valley at an altitude of 3,450 feet enjoying a "Spring-Like" average temperature of 72 degrees. The country is located on the Central American isthmus and is bounded on the north by Nicaragua, the Southeast by Panama, the east by the Atlantic Ocean and the west by the Pacific Ocean. With its tall mountains, forested slopes, green pasture lands and lush vegetation, Costa Rica is often referred to as the "Switzerland of Central America." A mountainous country, Costa Rica ranges from sea level to peaks as high as 13,000 feet and a succession of white, sandy beaches follow one another along the Pacific Coast. The country was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1502. Rumors of vast gold treasures (which never materialized ) led to the country's name - "Rich Coast." Puntarenas Attractions Puntarenas is a paradise for eco-tourists. Explore the rain forest on a horseback ride through the enchanting Valley of the Monkeys, where hundred-year-old trees are draped with orchids, ferns and bromeliads. You might see howler monkeys, butterflies, parrots and other colorful birds. Puntarenas Activities Explore the largest crater and some of the most varied flora in the world on a breathtaking tour of Poas Volcano National Park. Learn the techniques of coffee-farming, harvesting, milling and roasting. Then visit Pura Vida and enjoy the exquisite cuisine, beautiful gardens and native deer. Puntarenas, Costa Rica	--	--
2	Wednesday, 2/11/26	About San Jose San Jose is the capital city of Costa Rica, strategically located in the center of the country. In addition to being an intriguing cultural destination, it is the perfect base from which to enjoy a wide variety of activities. Choose your own array of trips to both urban and rainforest areas, then return to the comfort of your ship at the end of each action-packed day. San Jose, Costa Rica	--	--

5	Saturday, 2/14/26	About Puerto Quepos Microclimates characterize Costa Rica, but in a nation of verdant rain forest, the region around Quepos, on Coronado Bay is one of the richest and most bio-diverse places on earth. Its unspoiled natural beauty has secretly drawn visitors for decades and a cottage tourism industry has arisen to accommodate city-dwellers seeking a glimpse of the planet's vanishing wilds. Puerto Quepos Attractions Try to visit the Mangroves, rainforest and Manuel Antonio National Park where you can see howler monkeys, two and three toed sloths, crocodiles and iguanas.

10	Thursday, 2/19/26	About Panama City Spain settled Panama City in 1519 on the site of an Indian fishing village. Gold and other valuable goods often passed overland through the city to the Caribbean, making Panama a target for thieves. In 1671 British Pirate Henry Morgan tore through town, leaving behind total ruins. Two years later, Panama was rebuilt on a nearby site. The city was still ravaged repeatedly until 1746, when the trade route was changed. Panamas independence came in 1903, and Panama City was declared the capital. After the Panama Canal was completed in 1914, the city became an important international business centre. Panama City Attractions The sights of Panama City are many, but much of it can be seen on foot. The Plaza de Francia is dedicated to the 22,000 workers who perished while building the Panama Canal. The ruins of the Church of Santo Domingo features an arch that has stood unsupported for hundreds of years. The golden altar of the Church of San Jose is the only original piece of architecture that remained completely in tact after the Pirate Henry Morgan destroyed the city. There are many museums to explore in Panama City including: the newly restored Museum of Religious Art; the Museum of the History of Panama; the Atnthropology Museum; and the Museum of Natural Science. At Panama Viejo, view all the remains of the city's original site. Panama City, Panama	--	--
