Country Information


With dense rainforest, hundreds of colourful bird species and the Caribbean and Pacific Ocean lapping on its shores, Costa Rica is a real tropical paradise. Much of the country has national park status and the scenery is fantastic with active volcanoes and beautiful beaches. Offering the ideal opportunity for exploration and relaxation, you can visit the jungle waterways of Tortuguero, head to the volcanic hot springs at Arenal or just adopt the attitude of a sloth and lay back on a pristine palm fringed sandy beach.
