Costa Rica holiday and honeymoons; An expert guide to Costa Rica

Costa Rica is a nature-lover’s paradise boasting a biodiversity comparable to the Amazon in a country the size of Wales. Thanks to years of stability and peace, a sophisticated tourism infrastructure showcases an amazingly rich and varied network of national parks that protect an impressive 25% of the country. The relaxed and friendly nature of the proud locals gives you a warm welcome.

Monteverde cloudforest

The famed cloud forest reserve of Monteverde found in the north of the country is positively teeming with life. The sight of the sun setting over the pacific ocean is stunning from up here.

Tortuguero

Tortuguero is set in dense rainforest on the Caribbean coast, far from any roads, where a network of backwaters offer unrivalled opportunities to view the abundant wildlife up close. Literally thousands of Green Turtles land on these beaches to nest each year, giving the place its name.

Arenal Volcano

The perfect volcanic cone of Arenal is one of the most active in the world, regularly spouting lava. This firework display can be best appreciated at night while you soak in thermal spring waters with a cocktail in your hand.

Nicoya Peninsula

Pristine beaches are lined with coastal jungle offering the perfect location to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of this stunning coastline. Away from the more developed parts of the coast are a handful of boutique hotels that offer an exclusive retreat in paradise.

Manuel Antonio National Park

Found on the Pacific coast and within relatively easy reach of San Jose is the natural paradise of Manuel Antonio with its tropical beaches, cheeky monkeys, turquoise sea and jungle trails.

Osa Peninsula

This Pacific peninsula is the last frontier in Costa Rica and boasts the richest concentration of flora and fauna. Relatively inaccessible and only recently opening up to tourism, Osa offers an ideal opportunity to explore the wild!

Adventure in Costa Rica

If you are looking for adventure you’ll find it here with rafting, hiking, mountain biking, horse-riding, surfing and zip-lining through the forest canopy. The grand rivers of Costa Rica have impressive rapids that offer world class rafting of different grades to suit all adrenalin needs. It’s easy to see why Costa Rica has become the world’s leading ‘eco-tourism’ destination.
