Costa Rica is Central America's special jewel. A Costa Rica vacation promises a unique vacation experience for all ages, and the country's natural attractions, wildlife and reputation for enlightened conservation draw tourists from all over the world. Successive governments have made a real effort to preserve the country's image as an eco-tourism haven, making Costa Rica one of the best places to experience the tropics naturally and with minimal impact. Visitors to Costa Rica have an opportunity to experience several diverse and popular tourist areas, each unique in both landscape and available activities. For those who want to see it all, the country is surprisingly accessible – one can drive from the Caribbean coast to the Pacific coast in just 3 hours! The country's bio-diversity is certainly a huge attraction. Add to this the incredible warmth and sincere hospitality of the local people and the exceptional variety of accommodations, in both the coastal and interior regions of the country, and you have a recipe for a unique and memorable vacation for couples, singles and families! |
