Why we love it
“Costa Rica is the ideal place to begin your foray into Latin America - one of the greenest nations on the planet, this country ensures the environment is at the heart of everything it does and is a world leader in sustainability. Arriving in the well-connected capital, San Jose you'll have a chance to ease yourself into "Pura Vida" before you venture into Monteverde national park and explore the Arenal volcano area. Here, adventure takes centre stage; from hiking waterfalls to treetop canopy walks and zip lining through rainforests. Next, you'll head east to the Pacific coast where the verdant jungle meets the crystal clear waters and wide sandy beaches - perfect for catching waves or sunrise yoga sessions.”
