Why Vacation in Costa Rica?

Costa Rica has evolved into one of the most sought after destinations for tourists from North America, Europe and South America. Visitors are fascinated by the incredible natural beauty of this amazing little country. Despite being the second smallest country in Central America (about the same size as West Virginia), Costa Rica is home to 5% of the planet’s plant and animal species. Moreover, its diverse terrain gives it many microclimates, each with its own flora and fauna. The variety is staggering: rain forests, tropical jungles, active volcanoes, vibrant pueblos, sophisticated suburbs, and of course, amazingly beautiful beaches.

If you want an active Costa Rica Vacation, it is possible to tour much of this country in two or three weeks since it is only 19,305 square miles in size. The Caribbean coast measures a mere 99.4 miles from Panama to Nicaragua, while the Pacific Coast (with more peninsulas and bays) measures 298 miles. From the Caribbean coast to the Pacific is 174 miles at its widest point, which means you can literally spend the morning diving in the Caribbean, and the afternoon surfing in the Pacific.

Visitors with less time or who just want a more relaxing vacation usually select one area of the country to focus on. The North Pacific or “Gold Coast” of the Guanacaste Province has become one of the most popular areas due to convenient access via the Airport at Liberia, which has over forty international flights per week on recognized carriers such as Continental (www.continental.com), Air Canada (www.aircanada.com), American (www.aa.com), U.S. Airways (www.usairways.com) and Delta (www.delta.com). Moreover, the Gold Coast enjoys over 266 days of sunshine per year, with an average daily temperature of 75-80 degrees. Besides offering the driest weather in the country, this Gold Coast has some of the most beautiful beaches and offers an endless list of activities for your Costa Rica Vacation.

Costa Rica Vacation Activities

Take a tour of a world-famous national park that is a protected nesting site for giant leatherback turtles. Explore one of the local estuaries by kayak or horseback, and explore their incredible eco-systems and wildlife. Spend a day on a gorgeous 18 hole Golf course with beachfront holes. Surf some of the best breaks on the planet, or if it has always been your goal to learn to surf, take some lessons at beaches with warm water and gentle waves. Explore the coast on quads, or take an adrenaline charged canopy tour. Enjoy world-class sportfishing from Flamingo Beach, site of a new luxury marina, or dive off the Catalinas, renowned for sharks, manta rays and eels.

Then again, you might just want to relax and enjoy swimming and strolling along a quiet, pristine cove, or spend an afternoon exploring the small shops in bustling towns like Tamarindo. Our restaurants boast the freshest fish, shellfish and tropical fruits and vegetables, and as a result of our international community, our menus are influenced by cuisines from all over the world.

Costa Rica Property Types

There are a variety of vacation rental options, including basic cabinas, luxury homes, small boutique hotels, larger four and five star resorts, and beach condominiums. The availability of options has increased drastically over the last three years. For travelers taking only one or two days in a particular location, hotels and resorts are often the best bet. For those spending longer periods or traveling with family and friends, or who like to do some of their own cooking with fresh foods from the local markets, condominiums and homes are some of our most sought-after options. Prices vary with size, quality, features and distance to the beach and amenities. Some of our vacation rentals are situated in Costa Rica golf communities, some in the center of bustling beach towns, and others in more tranquil locations.
