Hot springs and the Arenal Volcano
Probably one of the best sites in the nation is the Arenal Volcano. It is fantastic to witness how, as you get closer, the volcano erupts from a vast jungle that seems to gather around it. It is possible to hike in the region. However, it can be difficult. If you are enthusiastic about hiking, there seem to be a variety of guided excursions available. There are plenty of different methods to explore the region around the volcano if you want something more leisurely.
Tortuguero turtle watching

If you decide to go, we advise visiting around August as that is when most turtles lay their eggs. This will let you observe the many turtle species that live in Tortuguero.
