    From wildlife-filled forests to still-simmering volcanoes, our holidays to Costa Rica reveal landscapes ripe for exploring.

    Costa Rica’s calling

    It’s the destination on everyone’s lips. Plum in the middle of North and South America, Costa Rica acts as a bridge between the two continents. As such, the landscape offers up a real pick and mix of must-sees ranging from tropical beaches through to soaring volcanoes by way of dense rainforests.

    A Garden of Eden

    No day’s the same in Costa Rica – one day you can be clambering through cloud forests, and the next you’ll be delving into hidden valleys. And because a quarter of the country is protected, you’ve got national parks, wildlife havens and nature reserves on tap.

    Tropical shores

    The key to this place is its name, which translates as ‘Rich Coast’. Holidays to Costa Rica open up all the soft sands and swaying palms you’d expect from a place dubbed paradise on earth. To be precise, there are more than 300 stretches of beach spread between its Pacific and Caribbean coastlines.

    Departure tax included

    You don’t need to set aside any spending money for departure tax, as it’s all included within the cost of your holiday.
