Costa Rica

Costa Rica is built for the outdoors: full of rainforests and wildlife, where nature is carefully preserved. Around Arenal Volcano, visitors can hike forest trails, relax in hot springs or zip-line through the canopy. Along the Pacific coast, beaches like Manuel Antonio and Tamarindo combine national parks, surf culture and abundant wildlife, from monkeys and sloths to sea turtles nesting along the shore. Inland, the cloud forests of Monteverde are famous for hanging bridges, misty trails and incredible biodiversity. From jungle adventures to quiet beach sunsets, Costa Rica offers a balance of outdoor exploration and laid-back tropical living.
