The warm and friendly people of Costa Rica claim they live the ‘Pura Vida’ (pure life), and seeing as they live in the world’s first carbon-neutral nation, they are both literally and figuratively correct! The poster child for eco-tourism, Costa Rica holidays are all about unspoiled and pure nature. Blessed with both a Pacific and Caribbean coast, there are miles of spectacular beaches that frame a land of lofty mist-swathed volcanoes and tracts of lush, virgin rain- and cloud forests packed with all sorts of colourful and exotic creatures, all drenched in the balmy, tropical warmth. Yes, we fancy a slice of that ‘Pura Vida’ too…

Wildlife

With over 500,000 animal and plant species, Costa Rica is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world. With its lush rainforests and pristine beaches, Costa Rica is home to all sorts of wildlife, from toucans and macaws to sloths and monkeys. And if you’re lucky, you may spot a majestic jaguar or puma as you explore the country’s lush rainforests. Away from the sounds of the rainforest, Costa Rica’s coastlines are just as diverse with their thriving marine ecosystems.

Ecotourism

Ecotourism focuses on sustainable travel to natural areas that conserve the environment and support local communities. Costa Rica is a world leader in ecotourism and is committed to showing the world its most beautiful corners sustainably. Ecotourism activities are designed to be low impact, so pursuits like hiking, birdwatching and wildlife spotting are popular. Ecotourism in Costa Rica also aims to support the local communities by creating jobs through tourism.

Beaches

Costa Rica is home to some of the world’s most stunning beaches, which stretch for over 800 miles along the country’s Pacific and Caribbean coasts. The beaches of Manuel Antonia are some of the most beautiful spots in the country. Across the country, the wild beaches of Tortuguero have a more rugged feel and are teaming with incredible marine and bird life.
