In Costa Rica, locals greet one another by saying “Pura Vida”, meaning “Pure Life” and the saying is true – life here really is pure! Voted as one of the World’s happiest countries, Costa Rica is simply breath-taking. Boasting crater lakes, jungle-fringed deserted beaches, sparkling blue rivers and mystical waterfalls, the natural beauty of this country is never ending! Also home to simmering volcanoes which offer stunning views from the top and 800 miles of coastline, this is the ideal destination to try your hand at surfing.

Despite being just a fifth of the UK in size, Costa Rica hosts 5% of the world’s biodiversity. From toucans and sloths to dolphins and whales, this really is a paradise for animal lovers. Whether you want to relax on stunning beaches, study the native wildlife or climb the tree tops, Costa Rica is sure to create a once in a lifetime experience.
