Part of our guide to learning Spanish in Latin America
Costa Rica is a nature-lover’s dream, world-renown for its vast variety of flora and fauna.
With hugely different eco-systems, from tropical rain forests to volcanic highland areas, it feels like someone squeezed a whole continent into a single, small country.
Although nature is the main pull for foreign tourists, it also helps that Costa Rica is one of the safest countries in the region, with a rich and well-developed tourist infrastructure.
Costa Rica is world famous for its biodiversity, and no trip to the country is complete without visiting at least tow or three of the natural parks.
If you’re one of those adrenaline junkies then you’ll want to head for the hills. Apparently, they’ve been white water rafting in Costa Rica since the 70s and the country considers itself something of a pioneer in this wet and wild activity. There are various destinations in different parts of Costa Rica. Check out the official tourist board guide here.
If your idea of a beach getaway involves chilling out over a cocktail with a soundtrack of Reggae in the background then head to Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast. If surf is more your thing, then head for the beaches on the Pacific. You’ll find impressive, palm-fringed beaches on both sides of the country.
