Explore Costa Rica

Costa Rica is one of those countries that immediately captivates you. Some come for the waves on the Pacific coast, others for the density of the rainforest in the interior, and still others for the volcanoes, the suspension bridges through the cloud forest, or the sheer number of animals that can be encountered in such a small space. What they all have in common: They leave a lasting impression.

Nele lived in Costa Rica for a while and therefore knows the country not just from the tourist side. She knows which areas are truly worth visiting and which look particularly good on Instagram. And she knows that Costa Rica is one of the few countries where nature conservation exists not just on paper — but is truly felt when wandering through one of the national parks.

The country is smaller than one thinks, but denser packed than one believes. How does one plan a route that is not too rushed? When is the rainy season — and is it really a problem? Pacific or Caribbean, or both? And what’s the deal with the famous Pura Vida?

Our Costa Rica travel guide answers all of that for you. We help you plan a trip that matches your pace — whether you’re in a different place every day or have the jungle right outside your door for a week.
