Costa Rica Vacations

Located in Central America, Costa Rica has a great deal to offer urban and eco-tourists as well as beach-lovers of all ages. Although the majority of Canadian tourists favour the great beaches and natural wonders featured in Liberia, the capital city of San Jose provides tourists with a great urban alternative. For those who wish to experience great nightlife, restaurants, shopping, and Costa Rican culture, a Costa Rica vacation in San Jose will provide all of this and more. In addition to the many all-inclusive Costa Rica vacations that bring thousands of tourists to enjoy the natural beauty and warm climate of Costa Rica each year, Costa Rica also attracts many people from around the globe who have chosen Costa Rica as their permanent residence. Costa Rica appeals to a wide range of people, including singles, families, and couples.  With such outstanding geography, plant and animal diversity, it is no wonder that Costa Rica vacations primarily attract active nature lovers in search of ecotourism adventure. 

Getting Around: Mobility is not an issue while on a Costa Rica holiday and tourists tend to move easily from place to place via taxis, car or jeep rentals. Driving distances to points of interest may be considerable (90 minutes), but driving in Costa Rica is fairly manageable and provides great access to secluded natural wonders. Many tourists arrange excursions from the resort hotels, which is a great alternative to a self-guided adventure.
