With 5 % of the world's biodiversity in a country half the size of Virginia and just a little larger than Switzerland, Costa Rica is a fascinating country, with impressive and unmatched natural wonders. 26% of the country is composed of conservation and natural protected territory.
Its population the “Ticos” are warm and welcoming people, proud of their democratic and peaceful country, a heaven in Central America which has not had an army since 1949, (the funds are since then split between Education and Health). No surprise, Costa Rica is an exceptional area for vacationing, receiving more travelers every year, but controlling its development in a sustainable way. Costa Rica is also an attractive country for investment and offers great potential for the establishment of important multinational companies, thanks to the outstanding academic level of its population, as well as the high standard of modern services and social and political stability.
From the lowlands and pristine beaches of Guanacaste to the highlands of the Central Valley and its fresh climate, extensive rainforests with abundant flora and fauna, coffee plantations, distinct micro-climates, cloud forests and lush jungle, to the beaches of the Caribbean coasts and its laid back way of life, the options for activities are almost endless.
Whether you are looking for nature and wildlife or an active, multi-sport adventure (hike in active volcanoes, zip line in the rain forest, walk on hanging bridges over the canopy, ride a horse on a desert beach or in a large farm or “Finca”, gentle or strenuous white water rafting, bird watching in the rain forest, explore canals and abundant tropical wildlife in comfortable boats or kayaks), a romantic honeymoon or Anniversary, or a bird watching trip, go scuba dive or snorkeling, surf or play golf, or just relax in a desert beach, Costa Rica is waiting for you!
Although tourism is relatively developed already there, Costa Rica remains a wonderful country and can’t miss in your “wish list” of destinations to visit, with new properties – some rustic but clean such as tree houses, others very upscale, often located in exceptional, remote locations- and unique activities. At Costa Adventures we organize trips since 1999 and try to make you discover and enjoy the country in an authentic and unique way, offering the highlights but also less traveled areas and trying to stay away from the crowds when possible.
