Eco-Adventure Playground

Costa Rica is a pioneer in ecotourism, offering endless opportunities to explore its natural wonders. Hike through the vibrant rainforests of Monteverde or Corcovado National Park, where howler monkeys swing through the trees and colourful birds flit amongst the foliage. Go white-water rafting on the churning rapids of the Pacuare River, spot playful dolphins and whales off the coast of Marino Ballena National Park, or zipline through the jungle canopy for a thrilling adrenaline rush.

Volcanic Majesty

Witness the raw power of nature at Costa Rica's active volcanoes. Hike up Arenal Volcano, where molten lava flows down its slopes at night, or stand in awe at the Poás Volcano's steaming crater lake. Soak in relaxing thermal hot springs heated by volcanic activity, a perfect way to unwind after a day of exploration.

Surfing Nirvana

Costa Rica's Pacific coast is a haven for surfers, with world-renowned breaks like Tamarindo and Jaco attracting surfers of all levels. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a curious beginner, Costa Rica offers waves to suit your skillset.

Beach Bliss

Beyond the waves, Costa Rica boasts stunning beaches for relaxation. Sink your toes into the soft sand of Manuel Antonio National Park, where playful monkeys might join you on the beach, or snorkel in the crystal-clear waters of Cahuita National Park, teeming with colourful fish.

Pura Vida Lifestyle

"Pura vida" (pure life) is the Costa Rican motto, and the laid-back atmosphere permeates the country. Immerse yourself in the local culture, sample fresh and flavourful cuisine like gallo pinto (rice and beans) and patacones (fried plantains), and learn a few basic Spanish phrases to connect with the friendly locals.

Hiking boots are recommended for exploring the rainforests. Costa Rica is a leader in sustainable tourism, so be prepared for responsible waste management practices and a focus on preserving the natural beauty.
