Costa Rica

Visitors to the Republic of Costa Rica will quickly discover that despite its small size (not much larger than Lower Saxony), the country offers an incredible variety of attractions and activities. This tropical paradise is home to nearly 5% of the world's known plant and animal species, making it a true haven for nature lovers.

The country invests heavily in conservation, with almost 25% of its land designated as protected national parks—more than any other country in the world.

You can expect to encounter warm and welcoming people, as well as breathtaking natural beauty: volcanoes, waterfalls, hot springs, Caribbean and Pacific beaches, rainforests, cloud forests, and dry forests, with a fascinating array of plant life and many animal inhabitants.

On-site, you can enjoy a wide range of activities: hiking (rainforest walks, birdwatching tours), canopy tours, boat trips, horseback riding, swimming, snorkeling, and much more. There are active tours available, as well as more relaxed experiences like visiting a hummingbird garden or a coffee plantation.
