In this latest American Travels journey, The St. Louis American captures the laid-back beauty, vibrant culture, and warm Pacific coast atmosphere of Costa Rica’s Guanacaste region — a welcome escape from winter’s chill in St. Louis.
Contributing Editor Fred Sweets traded that winter chill for tropical sunshine during the publication’s latest American Travels getaway to Costa Rica.
Joined by Publisher Donald Suggs, the trip took the pair through the scenic Guanacaste region, where they reconnected with former St. Louisan Bernard Jennings and soaked in the easy rhythm of coastal life.
From their arrival near Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport to fresh seafood stops in Coco and quiet moments along Playa Ocotal, the journey blended friendship, flavor, and far-from-home relaxation. This gallery captures a few of the sights, tastes, and warm Pacific breezes that defined their latest American Travels escape.
