Did you know that you can explore the jungles, volcanoes, beaches and more in Costa Rica with Disney Cruise Line? Puntarenas, Costa Rica, is one of the tropical destinations on the Panama Canal Disney Cruise this April. Puntarenas, meaning “sandy point” in Spanish, sits on a long, narrow peninsula in the Gulf of Nicoya on the Pacific side of Costa Rica. With active volcanoes, cloud forests, fern grottoes and a 264-mile coastline, it is the perfect playground for hiking, whitewater rafting, kayaking, mountain biking, horseback riding, surfing, snorkeling, fishing and more. Here are a few recommendations for Port Adventures in Costa Rica with Adventures by Disney…
