Costa Rica

Costa Rica is a unique destination that has the great splendor of the natural world, the rich culture of Central America, and a location that truly stands alone in its appeal to world-travelers. Although the country is small and it covers only 0.03 percent of the surface of the globe, it proudly shelters 5 percent of the existing biodiversity in the entire world. Costa Rica is one of most highly valued tourism destinations on this planet. This small piece of land has all the necessary components to intrigue and continually satisfy the millions who visit each year.

Costa Rica has extensive tourism offerings, including rainforests, volcanoes, rivers traveling through the mountains, beaches, national parks and forest reserves.

The nation’s several micro-climates and regions create an otherworldly experience because you are able to travel between lush, tropical rain-forest, golden beaches, imposing volcanoes, and tropical forests, all within the same country. Sustainability is not a practice in Costa Rica; it is a way of life.

Costa Rica boasts a huge collection of natural assets that flow effortlessly from white sand beaches and vast forests to volcanic lakes such as Lake Arenal in the Arenal Volcano region, and idyllic national parks like Tortuguero on the northern Caribbean coast. Adventure lovers will adore the cloud forests in Monteverde and nature parks that are filled with exotic flora and fauna, the highlights of which are the colorful hummingbirds and enchanting orchids. Culture lovers will soak up the atmosphere in the charming city of Liberia which is filled with historic architecture.

Costa Rica’s wildlife is truly unique. Just as varied and special as its wildlife, the Costa Rican people or Ticos are some of the warmest and cheeriest people in the world. The Costa Rican phrase “Pura Vida” or pure life is a perfect description of a visit to Costa Rica.

Costa Rica vacations are perfect for nature travel, as its geographical position has pushed Costa Rica into a position of eco-responsibility, and as such it has managed to position itself as one of the world’s top sustainable tourism destinations, with world renowned conservation efforts at the Manuel Antonio National Park and the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve now viewed as enviable models for ecotourism.
