There's no excuse to not hit the open road after reading this...

Paradise? Photo: Visit Costa Rica

Length: 124 miles

Where will you start and finish? Tamarindo to Santa Teresa Beach, Costa Rica

Best time to go? March to June/September to November

How long will it take? One week

Rent a SUV and drive through the rainforest in search of the perfect Pacific wave from Tamarindo to Santa Teresa, down the west coast.

The beauty of Costa Rica is you can surf without a wetsuit overlooking tropical beaches and jungles. Just watch out for those pesky monkeys!

After a hard day’s surfing, light a fire on the beach and watch the sunset. Make sure you catch the leatherback turtles in Las Baulas National Park, take a horseride through the rainforest and try some yoga on the beach.
