Last Minute Destination of the Week: Coco, Costa Rica — The Pura Vida You Didn’t Know You Needed
Here’s a spicy little bombshell for your summer 2025 plans: a direct last minute flight from Toronto to Liberia, Costa Rica, for only $402 CAD. Yes, direct. Yes, July. No, this is not a prank. This is 55% off the regular price, which means your wallet stays padded and your soul gets that tropical reboot it’s been screaming for since… February?
But wait — it gets even juicier. Want to spend a full week in Coco (just 30 minutes from Liberia Airport)? Done. Add $175 for a cozy, well-rated hotel just a short flip-flop walk from the beach. That’s $577 total for sun, sea, palm trees, ceviche, and the kind of tan you’ll pretend was accidental. Travel agencies will try to sell you this same setup for $1,700. No shade, but… really?
Coco is laid-back, vibrant, and full of character — not some plastic resort clone. Hit the beach in the morning, grab gallo pinto for breakfast (yes, rice and beans, trust me), snorkel with stingrays at Playa Ocotal in the afternoon, and sip on maracuya mojitos while watching the sky turn every shade of “who needs Instagram filters anymore?”
Just don’t forget your sunscreen. And maybe pack two swimsuits. You’ll understand why on day two.
