Costa Rica


Costa Rica is a small Central American country with a myriad of fantastic destinations to explore! Over 25% of Costa Rica’s territory is protected by the government’s extensive national parks system. This creates a haven for countless species of flora and fauna, and offers visitors a wide array of activities and opportunities to partake of paradise. Located between Nicaragua and Panama, Costa Rica is bordered by both the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. A series of volcanic mountain chains run from the Nicaraguan border in the northwest to the Panamanian border in the southeast, splitting the country in half. The Central Valley is located in the middle of these mountain ranges and there are coastal lowlands on both sides of them.

 As you experience Costa Rica, you can go from surfing along the dry tropical forest of the Central Pacific, to dancing calypso music beside the exuberant Caribbean coast. You can hike misty cloud forests, discover majestic volcanoes, fly above the rainforest canopy, bathe under a waterfall, spot a family of monkeys, or simply relax as this wildlife wonderland unfolds right in front of your eyes.






In addition to the numerous tourist attractions offered by the country, there is also a large selection in terms of lodging accommodations. From five star resorts to small eco-lodges, Costa Rica has something to suit everybody's preferences and budget. Getting to the country is also easy. Most major airlines fly to Costa Rica from key cities in the United States, Canada, and Europe. Add Costa Rica’s peaceful and friendly lifestyle into the mix and you get one of the most visited vacation spots in the world!
