Read More »Firmly planted on the eco-tourism map since the late 1980s, Costa Rica continues to be one of the best destinations for outdoor adventures. There are few places in the world with the diversity of Costa Rica and, thanks to a strong commitment to conservation, this Central American gem will continue to showcase the best of mother nature for many years to come.
Costa Rica’s two coasts- on the Pacific Ocean and one on the Caribbean Sea are widely different. The Pacific coast is rugged with forest-covered mountains often descending dramatically to the sea. The beaches here are pristine and under developed. On the Caribbean coast there are two distinct sections: the northeast coast with its rivers and rainforests and the southern section with empty beaches.
Inland, Coast Rica is marked by three major mountain ranges, lush valleys, thick rainforests and several volcanoes. This diverse land is home to a range of eco-tourism options from zip line adventures to trekking to wildlife watching. And the spectacular coral reefs and marine life are prime for snorkelling and swimming.
