Overview
Costa Rica, located in Central America, is a vibrant country celebrated for its breathtaking natural beauty and commitment to environmental sustainability. Bordered by Nicaragua to the north and Panama to the southeast, Costa Rica is a land of diverse landscapes, ranging from lush rainforests and volcanic mountains to pristine beaches along both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. Its strategic location between these two oceans endows the country with a rich array of ecosystems, making it one of the most biodiverse nations on the planet.
Renowned for its ecotourism initiatives, Costa Rica boasts an extensive network of national parks and protected areas, which cover over a quarter of its landmass. This commitment to conservation has preserved a wide range of wildlife, including sloths, jaguars, and colorful bird species. The country’s natural allure is complemented by its warm and welcoming culture, where the concept of “pura vida” (pure life) embodies a laid-back, positive outlook on life. Costa Rica’s blend of stunning natural landscapes, eco-friendly practices, and rich cultural heritage makes it a premier destination for travelers seeking adventure, relaxation, and a deep connection with nature.
