Why we love it Design your trip Highlights Notes

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.”

San José & Central Valley

The capital of Costa Rica is home to friendly locals, vibrant culture and is jam packed full of historical attractions. It might be tempting to use the city as a gateway to the rest of the country but spend some time to get to know this modern cosmopolitan city's parks, museums and restaurants before you head off to the Central Valley, to experience its agreeable climate, go whitewater rafting, undertake a plethora of cultural excursions and visit coffee plantations, volcanic craters and lagoons.
