Costa Rica
DISCOVER COSTA RICA
The wonder of Costa Rica is how so much breath-taking beauty can fit into such a small country. Stunning volcanos, both active and dormant, surrounded by pristine forests and jungles, criss-crossed by crystal clear rivers, all of it teeming with wildlife have made Costa Rica one of the most popular destinations in Central America for families, couples, and solo travellers alike. And where the jungles meet the coast, you will find heavenly palm fringed beaches with a huge diversity of accommodation options from private villas to boutique hotels, beach resorts to rustic cabins. A little further inland, sunny slopes are blanketed by plantations of Costa Rica’s world-famous coffee whilst the warm Latin welcome from the locals draws people back again and again
A paradise for wildlife lovers, the untouched rainforests, cloud forests, and volcanic landscapes of Costa Rica, not to mention some of the most impressive National Parks in the Americas, are perfect for eco-tours, birdwatching, and activity holidays. The amazing variety of wildlife includes caiman, monkeys, hundreds of species of birds and butterflies, plus of course the much-loved sloths. For relaxation, both the Pacific and Caribbean coastlines are home to hidden bays and elegant beachfront properties, whilst the hot springs around the Arenal volcano are the place to rest up whilst surrounded by nature. For culture lovers the laid-back Costa Rican capital of San Jose is home to pleasant museums, bustling markets, and some beautiful historic architecture, and a day or two in town can be added to almost any itinerary.
