Why take a Costa Rica Vacation?

Despite the relatively small size of the country (0.03% of the world’s surface), Costa Rica houses a massive variety of wildlife. Because of its neo-tropical climate and location between the Americas, it is one of the most bio-diverse countries in the world, housing 5% of the earth’s biodiversity! Costa Rica has just about every type of habitat and terrain imaginable: tropical rainforest, active volcanoes, whitewater-rivers, waterfalls, hot springs, beaches, mountains, scenic countryside, and warm ocean water.

National Parks and conservation areas enclose and protect the many different ecological systems and wildlife of Costa Rica. While on your Costa Rica Vacation, you will have the chance to witness many different species in their wild habitats such as: Howler monkeys, Spider monkeys, Squirrel monkeys, Capuchin monkeys, Jaguars, Pumas, Sloths, Anteaters, Frogs, snakes, iguanas, lizards, turtles, Tapirs, Quetzals, Toucans, Hummingbirds, Parrots, Macaws, Dolphins, Manatees, Sea Turtles, Butterflies, and other animals and insects, many that are endangered!

Costa Rica mountain biking, horseback riding, and hiking are all fantastic, thrilling ways to experience the rugged, natural terrain while getting a chance to see the very unique animals, birds, and ecosystems of Costa Rica.

Costa Rica is lined with beautiful beaches and is surrounded by warm ocean water on the west and east coasts that make perfect conditions for fishing, snorkeling, swimming, scuba diving, and of course, surfing!

Costa Rica surfing is becoming world-renowned as one of the most beautiful and fun places to surf with world-class breaks on both coasts.
