There are two sides to Costa Rica holidays – you can go all Tarzan in the rainforests, or snooze like a sloth on the sun-drenched beaches.
Lucky slice of Latin America
Mother Nature was feeling generous when she put together Costa Rica. Jungles, active volcanoes, hot springs, textbook beach resorts – this Central American country’s got the lot. A quarter of it is part of a protected forest or reserve of some sort, too. As such, the wildlife’s off the charts, with everything from toucans to turtles and tree frogs.
Adventure awaits
If you’re a bit of an adventure junkie, Costa Rica will give you a quick fix. You’ve got a cushty set-up of landscapes, so you can switch between white-water rafting down rivers, zip-lining through rainforests, or wildlife-spotting in the national parks. The Monteverde Cloud Forest is a one-stop shop, with hanging bridges, a sky tram and a maze of zip lines. Plus, you can hike the hot spring at Arenal Volcano National Park.
