Costa Rica Trips & Tours

Costa Rica Trips & Tours

Live la pura vida in this pocket-sized, peaceful slice of Central America where the biodiversity is juicy with a capital 'J'.

If there was a world ecotourism and sustainability class, we’re pretty sure lovely Costa Rica would be teacher’s pet. 25% of the Central American country’s diverse terrain, from cloud forests and gurgling volcanoes to wild and wonderful beaches, is protected in the form of national parks, and a staggering 99% of the electricity is from renewable sources too. This commitment to the environment has made it an almost permanent feature on bucket lists around the world – but the sensory landscapes, wildlife (all half a million species) and outdoorsy adventures are undoubtedly helpful too. In the central spine of the country, the slopes of the active volcanoes are covered in tropical forest that drip in flora and fauna: look for sloths lounging in the branches, howler monkeys announcing their presence, and quetzals and hummingbirds flittering around orchid-festooned trees. On the Pacific Coast, blonde beaches are made for sun-dazed afternoons, whilst the turquoise waves are a surfer’s dream, and on the Caribbean side, life is breezy and barefoot. Then, there are the world-famous coffee plantations and the fascinating capital, San José, to visit; rivers to white-water raft, trails to hike, and volcanoes to ogle; marine reserves to snorkel and dive alongside barracudas, parrotfish and turtles; tropical forests to zipline across and waterfalls to rappel; and a population of warm-hearted Ticos ready you to welcome you to every corner.
