Costa Rica

Enjoy lovely tropical beaches, the grandest adventures, the wonders of nature, scintillating culture, and world class fishing; all the components for an ideal holiday. 

The fact that more than one million people visit Costa Rica each year does not happen by chance. Known for its spectacular natural beauty and biodiversity, Costa Rica boasts over 15 different ecosystems with dramatic changes in landscapes, climate and nature. Magnificent beaches stretch for miles along an unspoilt coastline. High on the mountains, cool and pristine cloud forests are alive with mysterious sounds and below splendid tropical rain forests are packed with life. In such a small geographical area it is surprising how much there is to see and do. There are activities to suit all travellers and any mood, from action to relaxation. These include horseback riding, hiking mountainous paths in the cloud forests, surfing, snorkelling and guided bird-watching tours, or simply enjoy a soak in one of the many hot springs. All these characteristics are found in a country of only 51 thousand square kilometres, surrounded by both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans (which are only three to four hours away from each other by land or 45 minutes by air). 

One of Costa Rica’s famous attractions is the abundance of fishing on both the east and west coasts. On the west it is not only famous for hectic Sailfish and Marlin fishing but also for the tough fighters of the sea, those Rooster fish. Yellowfin Tuna are present all year and at certain times these fish can be caught over 200lb. On the east coast the many estuaries and rivers are famous for their Tarpon nurseries that offer, at certain times of the year, the chance to catch monstrous Tarpon as they migrate into the rivers from the sea to spawn. With all the fishing and other activities, the most challenging activity in Costa Rica will be choosing what to do!
