So, if you’re looking for a new travel spot this winter here’s why you should try Costa Rica.
Miles of adventure
If you love to stay active on holiday you won’t run out of things to do in Costa Rica. From zip lining through the jungle to tackling whitewater rapids and hiking through diverse terrain, there’s an adventure on every inch of this pure landscape.
Regardless of your age, size or ability there will be an activity for you. So, whether you’re an adrenaline junkie who is looking for the ultimate challenge or a first-timer who needs guidance there will be an adventure to suit your needs.
Tropical beaches
Aside from rainforests and volcanoes, there are around 300 beaches to relax on in Costa Rica. So, whether your hotel sits on a private shoreline or you visit a public one there’s nothing quite like a Costa Rican Beach. Picture curved coastlines backed by miles of jungle and just inches away from the Pacific Ocean – now can you see the appeal?
Some of our favourite sand spots are Puerto Viejo because of its stunning white sand beaches and Manuel Antonio National Park, which is home to four stunning unspoilt beaches.
Year-round spring temperatures
Costa Rica has an extremely diverse climate, which comes down to a combination of two things – it’s close to the equator location and its mountainous topography.
December through to April is the best time to travel as it is classed as ‘dry season’ so you’re less likely to see rainfall, while May through to November are the wettest months. But Costa Rica actually has no real winter and enjoys spring temperatures all year.
Fascinating wildlife
With 615 species, Costa Rica has the most diverse wildlife in the world, making it a great travel spot for nature lovers. Travellers will be able to get up close and personal with a wide variety of wildlife including sloths, white-faced monkeys, red-eyed tree frogs, coatis, and king vultures.
These can all be found in its array of national parks such as Manuel Antonio National Park, where you’ll be able to observe wildlife in their natural habitats.
Breathtaking natural wonders
Jungles, mountains, volcanoes, rainforests, waterfalls, and beaches make Costa Rica one of the most dramatic landscapes in the world – so as we’re sure you can imagine it has a number of natural wonders.
The most famous natural wonder has to be Arenal Volcano, which sits in Arenal Volcano National Park, and is one of the most viewed sights in the whole of Costa Rica. But don’t worry this volcano entered into a resting phase in 2010, meaning its eruptive cycle has been paused.
Alternatively, you can always relax in hot springs, observe majestic waterfalls, and walk across the famous hanging bridge in Monteverde Cloud Forest – one of Costa Rica’s most impressive sights with its thick cloud coverage.
