WHY COSTA RICA?
Costa Rica is such a small country you can cross it from the Caribbean coast to the Pacific coast in less than a day but we have many destinations to visit and have fun and lot of options in every place, for every kind of traveler. Whether your goal is to enjoy the exotic paradise, relaxing on a tropical beach, slake your thirst for adventure, absorb the magic of a tropical forest, glimpse exotic animals in their natural habitat, take part in outdoor or water sports, go fishing, watch an active volcano erupt, or any number of other activities…Costa Rica is the perfect place for you.
A tropical paradise strategically located at the heart of the American continents, Costa Rica serves as a biological bridge between North and South America. With an area of only 51,100 square kilometers, it accounts for approximately 6% of the planet's biodiversity, making it the ideal destination for nature lovers, birders, photographers and adventurers. This contribution to the world's biodiversity is a result of efforts to maintain this country as a nature refuge; around 25% of its territory is protected by a model system of conservation areas divided into national parks, wildlife refuges, biological reserves, forest reserves, and other areas. Our national park system not only conserves our land forests and species; we also have marine parks brimming with marine life. Visitors to these parks can also witness one of the planet's most spectacular natural events - part of the annual migration of some of the world's few remaining humpback whales as they pause on their journey to breed and give birth to their young in our warm coastal waters.
If the ocean is what brings you here, Costa Rica offers more than 1,200 kilometers of coastline with a wide variety of beaches and lodging for any kind of taste and budget. The possibilities for enjoying our beaches are endless. You can lay back in restful contemplation of the sea from a hammock on your hotel room terrace - or you can go for the adrenaline rush of surfing the perfect wave.
Costa Rica has also been blessed with a fascinating geography, making it possible to visit several different kinds of volcanoes. With some of these you can go right up to the crater and feast your eyes on the unusual landscape. With others, such as the Arenal Volcano, you can enjoy an unparalleled natural spectacle as you watch eruptions of glowing lava from a safe distance.
