Between the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean lies a little slice of heaven in Central America. Costa Rica is a tropical paradise rich in biodiversity that hasn’t been compromised by millions of tourists visiting each year. It’s a great place to go to explore, get active, and relax all in one amazing vacation. While you might not get to visit all of these amazing Costa Rica attractions, here are some suggestions to choose from during your getaway.

Eco Tourism

Eco Tourism is a major focus in Costa Rica. Most of the local luxury villas and boutique hotels match the surrounding biodiversity with eco-conscious accommodations. There is an impressive selection of sustainable and stylish developments going up all over the region. Properties like Water Villa at the Elements and Casa at Finca Nosara draw inspiration from the natural beauty of Costa Rica.

Arenal Volcano

The commanding Arenal Volcano has been Costa Rica’s most active volcano for over 40 years. During the day it rumbles and smokes, while at night it erupts with hot lava. Walking around the massive volcano is a unique experience the whole family will get a thrill out of!

Manuel Antonio National Park

Costa Rica is full of incredible National Parks that hold protected acres of rainforest, beaches, and wildlife. Manuel Antonio Park is the most notorious and a definite must during a vacation. This is where you can really take in the biodiversity Costa Rica has to offer. Monkeys, birds, and other tropical creatures can be seen at almost every turn while you hike along the beautiful shores of the park.
