Costa Rica captures the hearts of just about every traveler — adventurers chasing rainforest thrills, couples escaping to the beach and families eager to share once-in-a-lifetime memories.
Stretching across 200 miles from the Pacific Ocean to the Caribbean Sea, this peaceful, democratic nation hasn’t had an army since 1949. It’s home to the highest literacy rate in the Americas and has won a Nobel Peace Prize for its commitment to harmony. But it’s the natural beauty — volcanoes, rivers, waterfalls, untouched beaches and dense jungles alive with orchids, toucans and howler monkeys — that truly defines the experience.
Enjoy unique experiences and incredible sights across all seven main regions of the country — Guanacaste, Caribbean, Puntarenas, Central Valley, Northern Plains and Central and South Pacific.
No Artificial Ingredients
Sustainability isn’t a slogan here — it’s a way of life. More than 26% of Costa Rica is protected land, encompassing over 30 national parks. Though it covers just 0.03% of Earth’s surface, it safeguards nearly 5% of its biodiversity. Renewable energy powers most of the country, and eco-consciousness shapes everything from tourism to transportation.
A must-see highlight is Arenal, one of the country’s most photogenic regions. Rising 1,633 meters above sea level, Arenal Volcano has been in a resting phase since 2010, but the surrounding area brims with activity. Visitors can soak in natural hot springs, kayak across mountain lakes or explore rivers winding through the jungle — all within sight of its iconic peak.
Green Season: Nature at Its Best
From May through November, Costa Rica’s Green Season brings the country into full bloom. Afternoon rains refresh the landscape, reviving waterfalls, renewing forests and coaxing wildlife from their hiding spots. It’s the best time for travelers seeking vivid scenery, authentic encounters and great value.
This season also reinforces Costa Rica’s commitment to sustainable travel. Fewer crowds mean a lighter footprint and better opportunities to connect with the local culture — whether learning to make traditional gallo pinto, volunteering on a conservation project or watching scarlet macaws and sea turtles in peace. It’s also ideal for wellness seekers looking to reset with sunrise yoga, volcanic mud baths and rainforest retreats.
Adventures for Every Traveler
Surfing on both coasts attracts pros and beginners alike. Rain-swollen rivers turn into playgrounds for white-water rafting, canyoning and waterfall rappelling. Ziplining and mountain biking reach new heights as mist rolls through the canopy. Costa Rica is the birthplace of the canopy tour — first introduced here in the 1990s and now adapted across mountains, rivers and forests. There’s no better place to experience the original.
And for travelers who prefer their thrills a bit calmer, world-class sportfishing, birdwatching and naturalist-led tours offer an equally unforgettable way to explore.
Climate and Comfort
Thanks to its range of elevations, Costa Rica enjoys multiple climatic zones. Average temperatures hover between 70° and 81°F. The driest months are December through April, while May through November brings refreshing rain, most often in brief afternoon bursts. The heaviest rainfall arrives in September and October, leaving mornings bright and inviting across most regions.
