Welcome to Costa Rica

Costa Rica’s greatest attractions are natural. Rainforest, active volcanoes and prolific birdlife are certainly at the top of the list because they are more accessible in Costa Rica than in most other countries with similar attractions. The national park system is the best in Central America and provides visitors with memorable experiences.

The most accessible volcanoes are Poás and Irazú, both of which have roads reaching overlooks of their active craters, and Arenal which is one of the most active volcanoes in the world and the best viewed from afar.

For rainforest, the National Park at Corcovado is the wildest and Manuel Antonio is the prettiest. Tortuguero is excellent for wildlife and Caño Negro is the least well know but is superb for birding.

Outdoor enthusiasts also find top-notch surfing, white-water rafting, windsurfing and sport fishing. River running through the rainforest on the Pacuare or Reventazón Rivers in offered daily.

Windsurfers consider Laguna de Arenal to be among the best windsurfing spots in the world. Anglers routinely hook (and release) world-class tarpon and sailfish on both coasts, and firts-class fishing resorts and experienced boat skippers provide all the necesary expertise.

Combining outdoor adventure with the rainforest brings you to places where you can climb into the canopy and spend time on platforms gazing out over the tropical treetops.

Your itinerary will depend on your interests. Many visitors come to Costa Rica specifically to practice a hobby such as surfing, fishing or birding.

Others take the advantages of the guide and van program and travel more relax and comfortable and enjoy the greatest experiences and knowledge of the guide driver.
