Costa Rica vacations blend adrenaline activities and raw wilderness with the luxury and relaxation of some of the world’s finest destinations. But you’re signing up for so much more than a zip line and an umbrella drink when you select Costa Rica as your next destination. You’re signing on for a range of stunning natural settings and wildlife exposure well beyond your typical beach vacation. You’re adding in rainforest exploration, white water navigation, volcano hikes and countless water backdrops. All of these once-in-a-lifetime scenes are yours … if you can pull your gaze away from the tranquil beach chair views!

Costa Rica Vacations Explore A Natural Wonderland

Costa Rica vacations provide nature lovers an extraordinary immersion in some of the world’s most unique settings, all within a short distance. In less than 20,000 square miles, Costa Rica contains five percent of the world’s documented biodiversity, including more than 500,000 animal species. When your destination includes more than 840 species of birds, prepare yourself to hear a symphony of songs no human could ever recreate. The 1500 species of butterflies frequently add their colorful fluttering applause to the performances.

Wandering along the Las Pailas Trail becomes a highlight for any visiting nature lover. Winding around the base of the Rincón de la Vieja volcano, bubbling pools of gray mud and geysers give way to striking flatlands. Along the way, you pass through the natural habitats of toucans, spider monkeys and an extraordinary collection of lizards parading their colorful patterns.

A Costa Rica vacation offers you the chance to experience raw, natural settings in a way that photography and video can only vaguely suggest. Engage all your senses in a world few will ever see or experience by exploring the natural wonders of Costa Rica.
