Escape to Costa Rica

Costa Rica feels like nature turned up to full volume! One minute you’re hiking past Arenal's still-smoking volcano, and the next you’re drifting through mangroves by boat. Even a casual breakfast can come with toucans perched nearby.

For first-time visitors, many travellers split their trip between the Pacific beaches and the country’s jungle-covered interior. You can soak in hot springs, hike through the misty Monteverde Cloud Forest, or spend slow afternoons along the warm waters of Playa Ballena. Costa Rica also lends itself perfectly to a road trip. The roads can be bumpy and slow-going at times, but that’s part of the charm!
