I feel Costa Rica has been most ignored country with natural richness in it’s beauty and flora and fauna. It was called as poorest Spanish Colony in Central America by Spanish governer then. But we cannot ignore the fact that it’s one of the richest area for plants and animals where 25% of land area is protected for national forests. We can just imagine how rich greenery it would have. As I read, around eight hundred species of birds have been identified in Costa Rica.
Planning a vacation to Costa Rica can be expensive or most economical trip as per your preferences. Good thing here is, you are not stuck in the range of expensive hotels and resorts only as you do in Maldives or Mauritius like places. You can find vacation rentals in Costa Rica for as low as $100-150 per day, that is also without adjusting on any of the services provided by the rental services. You can book hotel and adventure packages that will range from $1000-$3500 and that is for a good two-week stay.
Costa Rica has to offer variety of experience to travelers and you would understand why I say so.
Wildlife and Mountain Adventures – Wildlife preserves and parks will give you a chance of enjoying precious flora and fauna. You don’t want to miss the world’s largest species of turtle; rare, indigenous, eye-popping species of plants in Wilson Botanical Garden; some fascinating caves at Northeast of Nicoya; and medicinal herbs, colorful flowers, an array of birds, iguanas, and howler monkeys throughout the forests. You also might end up visiting the infamous Arenal Volcano.
Sea Surfing – Paradise of Surfers as they call Costa Rica with popular places to ride on waves like Playa Naranjo and Ollie’s Point or the famous “long lefthander” Golfito region. One cool thing here is you can experience both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans at many beaches. If not in a mood of surfing, you can just sit back on the sea shore and relax.
Cruising – Costa Rica tourism offers good cruise package that would take you to the waters of Costa Rica. You can go island hopping and experience the diversity in Costa Rica’s culture and travel.
Romantic Getaways – Some of the secluded islands of Panama and Boca Chica in Costa Rica are good for your honeymoon trip. It can be an unforgettable tour to such beautiful place with diversity to offer and still not biting your pockets.
