About Costa Rica
Known for their sustainable and
eco-tourism efforts, traveling to Costa Rica is a must for all travelers. Microclimates are found throughout the countryside with colder cloud-forests filled with organic coffee farms and lowland beaches brimming with the calls of howler monkeys.
Costa Rica is hailed as a nature lover’s playground and an
adventure traveler’s haven. Relax in
5-star/5-leaf resorts, take a canopy tour, zipline through the rainforest, learn how to surf, or go whitewater rafting. The adventure options are as bountiful as the lush countryside.
In the 1980s and ‘90s, Costa Rica led the ecotourism movement around the world and even today nearly half of all visitors are there for the unique
biodiversity the country offers. Although it’s a small country, representing just .03% of the world’s landmass, it contains 5% of the world's biodiversity. That’s an amazing level of natural diversity and Costa Rica has worked hard to showcase it
in ways that are both responsible and ethical.
The greenest country in the world is also a mostly stable and safe one to visit. While many neighboring countries underwent intense periods of political strife and turmoil, Costa Rica managed to avoid these events. With a strong economy regionally and
an understanding of the importance of tourism, travel to Costa Rica is both fun and safe.
