Costa Rica Holidays
;img.crop(width:658%2Cheight:370))
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
Book a holiday to Costa Rica and you can be clambering through cloud forests one day and delving into valleys the next. 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.
Departure tax now included
For holidays starting on or after 1st May 2019, you’ll no longer need to set aside any spending money for departure tax, as we’re including it within the cost of your holiday.
