For a group trip you can choose to have a local guide, who will take you off the beaten track and show you unique spots, making your trip one of a kind. Costa Rica is a great destination for families and is well set up for visitors and provides great activities for adventurous children.

Costa Rica holidays are one of a kind and are becoming hugely popular, with this tiny nation attracting 1.5 million visitors every year.

Most people visit Costa Rica for the experience of nature that it offers. Within its small area, Costa Rica has a great variety of scenery: mountains tipped with misty cloud forest, lowlands swathed in rich rainforest, dry and dusty ranch lands, long beaches and rocky coves.

Costa Rica also has impressive volcanoes, wild rivers tumbling through narrow gorges, and country roads that wind through sleepy villages whose farming families grow coffee, flowers, or fruits.

Often called the Switzerland of Latin America, Costa Rica is peaceful and well organised. Costa Ricans report the highest life satisfaction in the world, have the second-highest average life expectancy of the Americas (second only to Canada) and have so light an ecological footprint that the country comes very close to achieving one-planet living.
