Visit a country whose happy motto is pura vida - pure life! From lush rainforests filled with wildlife to still-simmering volcanoes, Costa Rica is packed with the charms of Central America – it's simply unforgettable. The people of Costa Rica, rated one of the happiest countries on the planet, know its real riches come from its immensely fertile volcanic soils which have created an incredibly varied biodiversity. With more than 25% of the country designated as protected reserves and national parks, what can you expect to see on a holiday to Costa Rica? One of its most well-known inhabitants is the three-toed sloth. There are also iguanas, brightly coloured tree frogs, monkeys, jaguars, crocodiles, leatherback turtles and breathtaking birdlife (like the quetzal) to name a few.   We'll travel cross country to several national parks, collecting unique experiences as we go. From spotting wildlife on a safari down the Rio Frio to walking through the tree canopy of Arenal Volcano National Park on hanging bridges - you can even zipline through the dry tropical forest of Rincon De Vieja National Park. Before relaxing in Guanacaste on the Pacific coast, known for its tropical beaches, on a three-night stay.
