Costa Rica

Welcome to Costa Rica, a Central American marvel renowned for its commitment to ecotourism and breathtaking biodiversity. This vibrant nation, proudly embodying its “Pura Vida” (pure life) philosophy, is a haven for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. Despite covering just 0.03% of the Earth’s landmass, Costa Rica astonishingly hosts nearly 5% of the world’s estimated species, making it one of the most biodiverse countries on the planet. From the majestic Arenal Volcano, with its active hot springs, to the mystical cloud forests of Monteverde, teeming with unique flora and fauna like the Resplendent Quetzal, every corner offers an incredible encounter with the natural world. More than a quarter of Costa Rica’s territory is protected within national parks and reserves, solidifying its status as a global leader in sustainable tourism.

Whether you dream of zip-lining through a rainforest canopy, exploring ancient pre-Columbian sites, or simply unwinding on sun-drenched Pacific or Caribbean beaches, Costa Rica has an adventure tailored for you. The country offers a diverse range of climates, making it a year-round destination, though the dry season (December to April) is generally preferred for outdoor activities. While recent years have seen some shifts in tourism numbers, with a 4.6% increase in international air arrivals in April 2025 compared to April 2024, Costa Rica remains a top choice for those seeking immersive nature experiences. Prepare to be enchanted by its vibrant culture, friendly locals, and the sheer abundance of natural wonders that truly define the “Pura Vida” lifestyle.
