- A wildlife lover’s paradise
Costa Rica’s protected land is covered with 5% of the world’s biodiversity. Spot sloths, monkeys, and birds in Manuel Antonio National Park, observe the sea turtles hatching in Tortuguero, and watch out for the quetzal in Monteverde’s cloud forest. Whether you take a safari float, go on a night tour, or simply take a good old-fashioned hike through the forest, you’ll surely spot animals wherever you go!
- Immerse yourself in the natural beauty
One of the greenest countries in the world, this country has lots of microclimates and environments that are yet to be experienced. The landscape seamlessly transitions from cloud forest, rainforest, dense jungle, pristine beaches to massive mountains and everything in between. As your trip progresses, your pictures will look like you visited way more than just one country!
- Good Food, Good Mood
Costa Ricans know how to make rice and beans tasty. Traditional restaurants are called Soda, and one thing common on every menu will be Casado, a plate of Gallo Pinto, choice of protein, fried plantains, a salad, and a drink. The fresh fruits here are unbeatable, right from farmer’s market and local produce, and get your hands on the best of avocados, mangos, passionfruit, and more. And, this Latin American country has the perfect elevation for growing coffee and the perfect climate for growing chocolate, so be sure to sample some freshly-made brews and bars!
- Come for the fantastic weather
Just like how our moods change a thousand times in a minute, the weather in Costa Rica can change dramatically based on elevation and season. But in general, you will enjoy fairly warm weather throughout the year, the dry season from December to April, and the rainy season from May to November. Explore the best of Costa Rica in both seasons, you won’t regret it!
