WELCOME TO COSTA RICA

A tropical corridor between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, Costa Rica presents a landscape of rainforest, soaring volcanoes, lava fields, hot springs, rich pastureland and pristine coastline.

WHY VISIT COSTA RICA?

It is a safe, stable country in Latin America, famed for its invigorating pura vida lifestyle, commitment to sustainability and ambitious climate change policies.

With an impressive 30 national parks and over a quarter of the country under conservation, Costa Rica is one of the most biodiverse countries on the planet. Its jungles thrum with wildlife, including sloths, jaguars, tapirs, toucans, macaws, turtles, howler monkeys and manatees.

Don’t miss whale season in the Osa Peninsula, from August through October, and remember to ask about our collection of working haciendas and luxury estates.

COSTA RICA INSPIRATION

Select a Sense

Costa Rican cuisine, known for its fresh, tropical flavours, prominently features rice and beans in dishes like Gallo Pinto. Interestingly, a key ingredient in Gallo Pinto is salsa lizano – very similiar to Worcestershire Sauce. Fresh fruits like mangoes, pineapples, and papayas are staples. Seafood is abundant on the coast.

For a unique beverage experience, try the traditional, milky-horchatas or the refreshing, fruity refrescos.

Costa Rica’s marimba provides the backbone for many traditional tunes. Calypso rhythms reflect the Afro-Caribbean heritage, especially on the Caribbean coast.

LISTEN IN

He was incredibly well organised and knew everyone and everything wherever we went. He was extremely knowledgeable about history, animals, birds, plants, fish and everything about Costa Rica.
