Costa Rica

When you mention Costa Rica people automatically envision paradise. This tiny country in Central America draws nearly 1.5 million visitors each year. This has to do with the array activities that Costa Rica offers.

The ecosystem draws many visitors Costa Rica’s lush and beautiful forests contain animals from Howler Monkeys to Toucans. One of the best places to view wildlife from is La Fortuna. The famous La Fortuna Hanging bridges enhance your wildlife viewing experiences be providing you with views that could not be seen from the forest floor. While in La Fortuna you could go see the Arenal Volcano, which is famous for its generous flows and large eruptions. You could also visit Cloud Forest, which is a nature reserve that is more than 25,000 acres. But if you visit here you have to get there early. The park will not allow more than 160 people in the park at a single time; due to the fragility of the environment in this region. If you visit Cloud Forest is sure to bring a pair of shoes you can get muddy. The trails are always muddy due to its geographical location.


Costa Rica just does not have rainforests to offer its visitors. In fact, Costa Rica has some of the most beautiful beaches in Central America. The most beautiful beach is Playa Conchal hands down. Its pristine white sands are soft as sand and the neon blue water is perfect for snorkeling and catching a glimpse of aquatic wildlife. Most night time bonfire/parties are accepted on public beaches. This is a great opportunity to drink, dance, and socialize. But if that is not your scene there are several desolate beaches where you see more hermit crabs than people. Costa Rica offers both popular crowded beaches and secluded romantic beaches.
So whether your idea of vacation is a night in the jungle in a thatched roof hut or catching some rays and surf at the beach Costa Rica would be a great destination to visit.
