Behold the spectacle of Arenal Volcano – see it by day, and watch its fireworks in the evening as you relax in a natural hot spring pool. Explore the plush rainforest by hiking along the famed Hanging Bridges, and while gliding above the canopy on the Sky Tram and on exhilarating zip-lines hung between the towering trees. Visit plantations growing pineapples, bananas, and coffee, then end your active journey by relaxing on the white sandy beaches of Guanacaste.

Overview:

Emerald rainforest, pastel-colored hummingbirds, smoldering volcanic peaks, tumbling rivers, and freshly picked oranges still warm from the glowing Central American sun: if Mother Nature can ever be accused of showing off, it is in Costa Rica.

Sat just north of the Equator, this verdant chunk is one of the most bio-diverse spots on the planet. Costa Rica has a simply stunning variety of landscapes, microclimates, and flora and fauna. Showcasing the country's breathtaking plant life, Costa Rica's national parks are its greatest glory, with one-third of the country set aside as protected natural areas. As well as being a world leader in eco-tourism, Costa Rica superbly caters for visitors looking for an adrenalin kick, with options including whitewater rafting, zip line tours through the rainforest canopy, surfing and quad biking.
