Costa Rica
For many, Costa Rica's allure is found in its verdant jungles, pristine beaches, and diverse fauna. It is simple to understand why with its magnificent vistas and wide variety of animals, including jaguars, toucans, and monkeys. Where else can you spend a few days hiking active volcanoes, zip lining through cloud-covered rainforests, and surfing warm turquoise waters? Exciting outdoor activities abound in this small but diverse tropical paradise. While beachgoers spread out on the fine dunes, nature lovers will wander through dense jungles. It's impossible not to be in awe of the beauty that this "Rich Coast" has to offer.
Others, meanwhile, find this little Latin American nation's laid-back lifestyle to be more appealing. The saying "pura vida" is frequently recited by locals, sometimes known as Ticos (or "pure life"). From San José, Costa Rica's cosmopolitan capital, to the sandy Pacific and Atlantic shores, this driving principle is evident. Sit back and take in the breathtaking environment to completely immerse yourself in the good life.
At La Paz Waterfall Gardens, you may be surrounded by beautiful butterflies. You can also climb alongside the enormous Arenal Volcano, meet locals in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, or just relax in a hammock by a palm tree along the Nicoya Peninsula. We are confident that you will also find the pure life.
