Top 6 Reasons to Visit Costa Rica
BRING ME TO COSTA RICA
There are countless good reasons to get on a plane ASAP to Costa Rica.
We could easily name 100, but to start, here are the top 6.
#1: The People
When planning a trip, it’s normal to think of the natural wonders, exotic wildlife, delicious cuisine, and other typical attractions. Costa Rica offers all of that plus something else worth getting to know: the people!
Costa Ricans, often referred to as “ticos/ticas” by themselves and other Central Americans, are known and appreciated for being welcoming, friendly, and warm.
Being a stranger in a foreign land can often be confusing and overwhelming, but you can relax knowing that the locals in Costa Rica are helpful, laid back, and honest.
#2: Wildlife
Animal lovers unite! Costa Rica is one of the most diverse eco-destinations in the world. On land and in the sea, you will get to experience nature’s most beautiful and majestic creatures in abundance.
What makes Costa Rica’s wildlife population so rich and varied is the fact that it boasts 12 unique ecosystems in only 51,000km2!
Caribbean and Pacific coastlines, tropical rainforests, cloud forests, mangroves, wetlands, coral reef… All of these areas are brimming with butterflies, jungle cats, birds, marine life, sloths, monkeys, frogs, and more!
#3: Coastline
Costa Rica’s Pacific and Caribbean coastlines share 800 miles of pristine, postcard-worthy beach.
Among it’s top beach destinations are the Beach of Manuel Antonio, Santa Teresa Beach, Whale Tail Beach (Uvita), Playa Tamarindo, and Playa Conchal. This is only to name a few, because the reality is there are innumerable idyllic beaches to visit.
In addition to simply lounging on the sand reading, or frollicking in the waves, visitors can take advantage of world-class snorkelling, surfing, fishing, kayaking, and diving.
#4: Coffee
This tropical paradise is not only abundant in wildlife and adventure, it is also the perfect fertile land necessary for growing coffee plants, among all the other delicious fruits and gorgeous flowers that grow in Costa Rica.
The high terrain and volcanic soil produce world-class coffee, known for its incomparable quality and richness. Costa Rica has eight different coffee-growing regions, with one of the most famous being the province of Alajuela.
Interested in trying Costa Rican coffee for yourself, but not ready to fly to Central America? Order one of Alajuela province’s best offers, Cafe El Yodito.
All batches of El Yodito Coffee are 100% guaranteed fresh. The coffee beans are richly infused with timeless artisanal flavor from the mountains of Costa Rica.
#5: Volcanoes
Regardless of who you are, you have to admit that volcanoes are epic.
There are five active volcanoes in Costa Rica (Turrialba Volcano, Poas Volcano, Arenal Volcano, Rincon de la Vieja Volcano, Irazu Volcano, and Barva Volcano) and 61 dormant volcanoes.
If you love hiking, you will be in paradise. For those that aren’t as excited about a foot trek, there are many amazing volcano tours you can book that include transportation, accommodation, guides, and even relaxing hot springs.
#6: Safety
Safety is obviously a huge concern for travelers heading to Latin America. Rest assured, Costa Rica is ranked the number one safest country in all of Central America and the Caribbean combined. That means you get to enjoy discovering a new culture, going on epic adventures, broadening your horizons, and crushing your bucket list, all with peace of mind and minimal risk to your safety.
Costa Rica is top of the list when it comes to happiness, peacefulness, and safety - ¡Pura vida!
