Amenities:
Costa Rica is a land of diversity: its landscapes range from mountains, volcanoes, valleys and plains to beaches. Such variety is matched by a fabulous wealth of ecosystems. Fully 5% of all the plants and animals on the planet call Costa Rica home. Over 200 mountains and 760 beaches on both Atlantic and Pacific coasts make for a lot of exploring, and nearly 1/4 of all land is national parkland.
Dining & Restaurants:
Food in Costa Rica is great, we grow most of what we eat in our country. An important fact about Costa Rica is that we are part of the BLUE ZONES where people live much longer than average due to our diet.
Overview:
What do visitors do when they visit Costa Rica? They do everything they would do at any tropical vacation spot – and then again they do things they have never done before. After lounging on the beach, how about visiting a cloud forest? After sailing, you could kayak in the mangroves. After visiting the world’s longest constantly active volcano (Arenal), why not bask in hot spring spas? After golf, try a jungle safari. After parasailing, don’t miss flying through the rain forest on canopy zip lines.
Our country, though small, contains about 6% of all the world’s biodiversity and has the greatest density of endemic species than any other country; you see it the moment you arrive and wherever you go. Trees with dense foliage line the narrow highways, the calls of monkeys set the soundtrack for the day, wild tropical fruit falls out of the trees begging to be eaten, and gorgeous flowers and birds paint a rainbow of colors against the green landscape. Come and join us on a rainforest concert where one minute of silence is a million sounds.
