Unique Costa Rica is a nature lover’s paradise.  The country’s Disneylike cast of creatures, ranging from howler monkeys to toucans, are populous and relatively easy to spot. The waves are ideal for surfers, the beauty is staggering and the sluggish pace seductive. A peaceful oasis and a geological wonder, this tiny nation draws 1.5 million visitors every year. The incredibly varied topography means it is possible to cruise the cloud forest one day, visit an active volcano the next and relax on a hot sandy beach to finish. Costa Rica's beaches are largely surrounded by forests and have great natural diversity. There are many beautiful coral reefs to explore through diving and snorkelling while adrenaline junkies can choose from a multitude of ways to challenge themselves, from zipping through canopy lines hundreds of meters long, to riding the rough surf of the Pacific.

Indeed, Costa Rica occupies a privileged spot in the heart of Central America. While its territory touches both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, the country is surprisingly accessible; it is possible to travel from coast to coast in just three hours by car (or approximately 45 minutes by plane). Visiting this colourful paradise promises to be an experience you will never forget.
