Most people get of picture of paradise when Costa Rica comes into the conversation. Abundant wildlife is everywhere and easy for nature lovers to spot. The waves are unmatched, the pace of life, slow and the natural beauty of the country is simply stunning. Costa Rica is a peaceful oasis caught between Central and South America.
More active travelers can hike, surf, cycle, snorkel, explore the cloud forest, visit a volcano whilst those looking for more restful pastimes can relax on one the sandy beaches dotted along the coastlines.
There are a myriad of ways for adrenaline addicts to make their mothers worry from riding the roughest surf that the Pacific Ocean can offer to riding canopy zip lines hundreds of meters long. Flying in the forest offers a unique experience and is considered one of the best zipping experiences anywhere in the world. Platforms and lines allow you to observe birds, monkeys and sloths in their natural habitat before traveling through the cloud forest, over rivers and waterfalls; all you need is a sense of adventure.
There aren’t very many direct flights to Costa Rica from either the UK or Europe and most European travelers choose to fly to the US first. Due to the huge numbers of Americans who visit Costa Rica, there are direct flights from many US airports.
