Costa Rica - Travel Guide
If you can’t decide where to vacation, travel to the “Switzerland of Central America”, which promises the best of all worlds with access to the wild Pacific Ocean or calm Caribbean Sea, Amazon-like rain forest and white sand beaches, back to nature surf vacations on near deserted beaches or luxurious getaways with top service. This small country’s motto is ‘Pura vida!’ meaning ‘pure life’, and that is what one experiences here.
Nearly quarter of this country is given over to nature preservation and has the densest biodiversity in the world, and is simply stunning to behold. Journey to the top of Mount Chirripó, the highest point in the country, or Irazú Volcano and, on a clear day, see the country from shore to shore. Or have a true volcanic experience and watch the natural light show of rumbling Arenal Volcano, where you can even sit in a hot spring to witness it.
Costa Rica is fully experienced by those with an adventurous spirit, kite boarding, horseback riding, canoeing, kayaking and hiking have endless possibilities here. For something new, try ‘canyoning’, a combination of hiking, rappelling down mountainsides and stopping to occasionally jump into a hidden pool.
