Why visit Costa Rica? People ask me that all of the time. Everywhere I go, from Europe to the United States to other parts of Latin America, it seems nearly everyone has heard of Costa Rica and is intrigued about the little Central American country.
Besides being a peace-loving nation full of friendly people, Costa Rica fills its small territory with tremendous diversity. There is an incredibly large country-wide system of national parks, private reserves and wildlife refuges protecting exotic, unique nature. People come for the rainforest and nature, the beaches and volcanoes, and the widely varied tropical climate.
On top of all of that, adventure lovers find Costa Rica adventure travel unsurpassed. Whitewater rafting on gorgeous tropical rivers, hiking by active volcanoes, rappelling down waterfalls, scuba diving bountiful waters, surfing perfect waves, zip-lining and trekking through rainforest – these adventures will get you excited about life.
