Costa Rica boasts some pretty impressive wildlife so you’ll likely have no trouble spotting some critters, especially with one of our experienced guides on hand. A great place to start is in Tortuguero National Park, an ideal place to see nesting sea turtles – green sea turtles, leatherbacks and hawksbills all make an appearance during their nesting seasons.

In the cloud forests of Monteverde, you’ll find plenty of colourful birds, with resplendent quetzals, hummingbirds, and toucans calling this piece of paradise home. You can also spot the sleepy three-toed sloth and various types of monkeys swinging through the treetops. Another great spot is Corcovado National Park, nestled down in the southern tip of the Pacific coast. This untouched wilderness is home to a staggering array of fauna, from elusive jaguars and tapirs to curious capuchin monkeys and vibrant macaws. Its unique location means you can be weaving through dense jungle one minute and strolling along wide sandy beaches the next.

Costa Rica’s diverse landscape is a tapestry of natural wonders, from ancient rainforests to palm-fringed beaches, looming volcanoes and hidden coves. The jungles of Boca Tapada, with their web of trails, allows you to explore on foot, taking in the beauty of the area and the rich wildlife. Whilst Arenal, with its imposing volcano, combines lush rainforests and thermal hot springs – a great spot for some adventure and relaxation.

Cahuita, on the Caribbean coast, has a different pace of life – boasting sandy beaches, swaying palm trees, and vibrant coral reefs that beckon beach lovers and snorkelling enthusiasts alike. With all these different landscapes packed into a small country, the beauty of travelling through Costa Rica is that distances are relatively short, meaning you can experience more places during your holiday.

Living in harmony with the stunning landscapes and abundant wildlife here are the communities dotted throughout the country, from remote rural villages to buzzing coastal towns. We love showcasing the spirit of the Costa Rican people during our trips and the Juanilama community is a perfect example of this. Nestled in a quintessential Tico village, there is a spirit of entrepreneurship that thrives among its residents. This initiative was formed by a group of women from seven families, aiming to introduce the world to their corner of Costa Rica through tourism. During your stay, you’ll gain insights into the rhythms of rural life, discover the array of plants and vegetables cultivated here, and even learn to prepare a delicious recipe, all while residing in the welcoming embrace of a local home. Pura Vida!

We try to support as many local people as possible during our trips whilst giving you an experience you won’t forget. Our accommodation is focused on Costa Rican owned and operated lodges, hotels and guesthouses wherever possible – your trip gives back to the local people and you can gain an insight into local life here.
