  • Costa Rica

    Introduction

    Costa Rica is a spectacular country bridging North and South America. Supporting eco-tourism and the preservation of nature it has a very high number of protected national parks.

    If you love wildlife then this is definitely the place to go, you cannot escape the abundance of species here, including monkeys, racoons and sloths. There are some of the most unusual and colourful birds in the world in Costa Rica, such as the endangered Scarlet Macaw, we would advise joining one of the many guided bird watching tours available.

    If you want a faster pace then you could try an exhilarating session of white water rafting or river tubing. Horse riding, diving and snorkelling is also available in many resorts.

    A large number of hotels and resorts are focussed on sustainability and many have carbon neutral status.
