Why Costa Rica?
The bigger question is, “Why not?” This tropical country, located in Central South America, has
everything one would expect from its Caribbean and Pacific coast neighbors. Beaches, volcanoes,
rainforests, tropical plants, volcanos, animals and more. Add in the fact that this is one of the most
eco-friendly countries in the world and you’ll have yourself an adventurethat is good for the planet
as well as the soul. Here are just few of the many wonders of Costa Rica.

Costa Rica Hot Spots!
Nicoya Peninsula: With beaches covering this area from end to end, the Nicoya
Peninsula is plastered with mountains, allowing for breathtaking views of the surf below. Once
filled with volcanos, adventurers can now spend their days hiking through dry and wet tropical forests.
Caves like Barra Honda are a must for adults and kids like. Equally interesting is the Curu Wildlife
Refuge that holds 232 bird species as well as an ocean coast that is dominated by sea turtles during
nesting time. Finally,hikers will enjoy Montezuma waterfalls that provide travelers with both stunning
scenery as well as the opportunity to swim and lounge.

Arenal Volcano: If seeing a live volcano is on your bucket list,check out the Arenal
Volcano located in the north west of Coast Rica not far from San Jose. While not life threatening, people
can still marvel at the well timed eruptions by day and party in La Fortuna at night.

Guanacaste: Translated into “Gold Coast,” Guanacaste is world famous for its beaches.
Celebrities and regular folk flock here to sunbathe against a backdrop of mist-covered
rainforests. White sand extends all the way to the border of Nicaragua where people can also take in
simple fishing villages.Traveling inland, one can see an active cowboy culture andenjoy authentic
shopping and eating.

Celeste River: If you’ve ever wanted the experience of wading in crystal blue water,
come on down to the Celeste River. This is not for the non-physical fit as it takes three hours to
hike there through beautiful rainforest terrain.

San Jose: Second to the natural beauty of Costa Rica is the man- made beauty of an
incredible city. San Jose is the capital of Costa Rica and rife with shopping, entertainment, food,
drink and more. Consider seeing the museums such as The Jade Museum and The Pre-Columbian Gold Museum
before heading into the more primitive parts of the country. Both structures contain incredible
pre-Columbian treasures and artifacts.

Manuel Antonio National Park: Located on the Pacific Coast, this national park
has some of the best rainforest views in the country. Expect to see white sandy beaches, coral
beaches and a wide variety of plant and animal life including 100s of bird species, white faced
monkeys and toucans.

Park is gaining a reputation as one of the planet’s most diverse bio-systems. Housed here are jaguars,
squirrel monkeys, scarlet macaws and more. Hikers will enjoy the beautiful coastal trails that weave
through beaches and rainforests.

area. Located off of the north coast of Costa Rica, these beaches feature nesting grounds for sea
turtles (including endangered green turtles). River turtles canbe spotted via canoe or boat.
