El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama all have their attractions, though some are easier to get to than others. But if there’s a jewel in the crown of Central America, it’s undoubtedly Costa Rica. Renowned for its vibrant biodiversity, this incredible destination has every habitat from tropical jungles to tranquil mangroves and is flanked by unspoiled beaches touching two oceans. CAPTIVATING COSTA RICA Wildlife and activities might be what attracts you to Costa Rica, but what happens when the adrenaline wears off? That’s easy. Stay at an eco-lodge on the Osa Peninsula and discover thriving biodiversity in Corcovado National Park , or head to the shore and soak up the sun on the sands of Manuel Antonio , Papagayo , Tamarindo or Nosara . From adults-only luxury to fun family escapes, there’s a beach resort for everyone on the twin coasts of Costa Rica. After the Adventures

Costa Rica isn’t just for sightseeing. It’s for getting involved. Wherever your tour takes you, we recommend activities such as hiking , horse riding , boat safaris , bird watching , zip-lining , and jungle canopy walks on hanging bridges high in the trees. You can visit at any time, but rainforests need rain, so light, waterproof jackets are advised on holidays between May and November. The best way to make the most of trips here is through tours like our nine-day Spirit of Costa Rica , which includes the city of San José, the mangrove forests of Tortuguero, Arenal Volcano, and the Monteverde Cloud Forest. Got different ideas? No problem. We can create any itinerary you choose, customising each experience to match your energy and intentions. Travel Tips and Must-Dos

But, once discovered, they’re always remembered. From ancient Mayan culture to timeless wildernesses, Central America tempts you off the beaten path. Explore rainforests or stay by the sand and dive into the Caribbean Sea, where the world’s second-largest barrier reef resides.
