-- Facts About Costa Rica --

If you’re dreaming of a tropical, luscious South American holiday, Costa Rica could be perfect for you. Whether you’re looking for a wild jungle getaway, a beach side holiday, or a little bit of South American culture at it’s best, this is a great country to visit.

Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to explore the rain forest? Well, at Monteverde, that’s exactly what you can do. Be warned though – while this beautiful, lush green reserve is always shrouded in cloud, it does have 100% humidity – pack light, and expect hot, balmy days and nights.

La Fortuna

La Fortuna is a tiny town, much like many others in Costa Rica, with a few very special attractions up it’s sleeve. First are the spectacular natural fireworks – La Fortuna is at the base of Arenal – Costa Rica’s most active volcano. Then, there are the hot springs. Naturally formed by the heat of the volcano, they’re surrounded by tropical vegetation. Pack your swimsuit, and laze in the warm water all day if you want to!

Surf

If you love surfing, or would love to learn, Costa Rica is a brilliant place to try! The Gold Coast has towns like Playa Longosto and Tamarindo, where you can stay in a laid back environment, with friendly townspeople, laze on the beach, and hit the waves when the urge strikes.

National Parks

If you’re planning a trip to Costa Rica, chances are it’s the wildlife, the jungles, and the oceans that interest you . Luckily, there are many beautiful, unspoilt nature reserves in Costa Rica, offering everything from marine life to fantastic jungle scenery.

The Tortuguero National Park is one of these, and a visit to the park might reveal one of the eight species of turtle that breed here. Of course, there are also lagoons and rivers to explore, and if you’re very lucky, you might spot a rare West Indian Manatee swimming in the warm waters.

Drake Bay and Corcovado National Park are two others that should be on your list if you want to see nature at it’s best. They’ve been listed as two of the most bio diverse locations on earth, and while you won’t see many clubs, cars or any other hallmarks of civilization as we know it, you can spend some time watching the sun set over the rain forest, as you listen to exotic birds. A fair trade off I’d say.

Village Life

Another great choice if you’re planning a trip to Costa Rica is to stay in one of the native Tico villages. San Ramon, Grecia, and Sarchi are traditional villages in the highlands of San Jose, where you can stay in quaint villages, shop for local arts and crafts, and really get away from it all.

Costa Rica is really something different. Warm, tropical, and utterly beautiful, it’s the place to go if you want to spend some time in the glory of nature, get away from it all, and be alone with someone you love. Fabulous beaches, great little resorts and amazing sights will combine to make a holiday you will never forget.
