NEW BEST FRIENDS

From hanging sloths and cheeky capuchin monkeys to colourful quetzals and sleepy turtles, the wildlife here is truly something to behold.

ADVENTURE EVERYWHERE

No one sits still in Costa Rica. We prefer ziplining through a tropical jungle or hiking around the incredible Arenal Volcano National Park.

RELEASE & RELAX

This country seems designed to unwind. Find a beach to perfect your tree pose or discover the art of forest bathing and earthing. Namasté.

GIDDY UP

Indigenous, African and European traditions melt together here. Visit a local ranch to uncover a strong rural heritage and proud cowboy culture.
