From wildlife-filled forests to still-simmering volcanoes, holidays to Costa Rica reveal landscapes ripe for exploring.
It’s the destination on everyone’s lips. Plum in the middle of North and South America, Costa Rica acts as a bridge between the two continents. As such, the landscape offers up a real pick and mix of must-sees ranging from tropical beaches through to soaring volcanoes by way of dense rainforests.
No day’s the same in Costa Rica – one day you can be clambering through cloud forests, and the next you’ll be delving into hidden valleys. And because a quarter of the country is protected, you’ve got national parks, wildlife havens and nature reserves on tap.
The key to this place is its name, which translates as ‘Rich Coast’. Holidays to Costa Rica open up all the soft sands and swaying palms you’d expect from a place dubbed paradise on earth. To be precise, there are more than 300 stretches of beach spread between its Pacific and Caribbean coastlines.
