All about Costa Rica

One of the world’s most biodiverse countries, Costa Rica punches above its weight with its ecological treasure trove of national parks and wildlife refuges. This small Central American country is a dream destination for nature lovers, beach fans, and adventure seekers. Rainforests, mangroves, waterfalls, volcanoes, and tropical beaches abound, humming with wildlife. The country is also setting trends in sustainability, surf chic, and farm-to-table dining.

In Costa Rica’s Central Valley, dotted with moonscape volcanic craters, Quetzales National Park is home to the eponymous red-and-green bird. The forests, lakes, and rivers of the Northern Plains provide sanctuary for water birds, reptiles, and mammals, while the Sarapiquí area shelters the endangered great green macaw. On the country’s western coast, Monteverde is the archetypal cloud forest, dotted with zip lines and hiking trails. Central Pacific beaches sparkle with turquoise waters, and the South Pacific region is frequented by whales and dolphins. To the east, on the less-developed Caribbean coast, the Old Port of Talamanca is a colourful beach town worth exploring.

What are the top things to do in Costa Rica?

Poás Volcano

Consider eschewing the oft-visited Arenal Volcano for the much older Poás Volcano in the Alajuela district. One of five active volcanoes in Costa Rica, Poás has one inert crater and one that’s highly volatile. A green, rain-fed sulfuric lake bubbles ominously down below, while eruptions can reach heights of 250 metres. A wheelchair-accessible visitor centre and small museum guide you through the action.

Corcovado National Park

One of the crown jewels in Costa Rica’s network of protected parks is this beautiful, remote spot on the wild Osa Peninsula. Major ecosystems range from lowland rainforest to mangrove swamp, and the golden coconut palm-lined beaches are deserted. Many endangered plant and animal species lurk here, including jaguars, scarlet macaws, harpy eagles, and red-backed squirrel monkeys. Don’t forget your boots — there are lots of snakes.

Santa Teresa

A small, sleepy fishing village turned boho surf mecca on the western edge of the Nicoya Peninsula, this Pacific beach town is blessed with consistent offshore winds. For non-surfers, there’s fishing, scuba diving, kite surfing, and a healthy dollop of yoga and innovative dining. Forest trails, waterfalls, and wildlife are on the doorstep, too.
