Costa Rica
Costa Rica is situated on both the Caribbean and Pacific coastlines, and home to lush rainforests, wildlife, beaches and volcanoes.
A fantastic destination for adventure-seekers, Costa Rica can be like getting off the beaten path but with creature comforts. Zip lining, bungee jumping and canyoning are just some of the adrenaline-fuelled activities here, along with tranquil hikes, birding and sunset horseback rides.
Top spots worth a visit include Arenal Volcano, Manuel Antonio National Park, the La Paz Waterfalls, the Papagayo Peninsula, Tamarindo beach and the ethereal Monteverde Cloud Forest. For a coastal escape, head to the Osa Peninsula or Puerto Viejo which encapsulates Costa Rica's pura vida vibe.
