Costa Rica
A small country and yet a destination which has plenty to offer the visitor in natural beauty, Costa Rica is magical nature where the evanescent cloud forests cannot help but capture the imagination of even the most demanding of spectators. If one examines the different ecosystems that exist in Costa Rica, it becomes apparent that it is one of the biologically wealthiest nations in the world. From the forested slopes of its volcanoes to the coral reefs off both coasts, Costa Rica possesses an almost unfathomable diversity of flora and fauna.
The main visits should concentrate on the splendid nature of the country and the variety of habitats and micro-climates - from dry forest in the Pacific Guanacaste to cloud forest along the Central Cordillera and rain forest in the lower South. Nine active volcanoes continually remind visitors of the incredible power contained deep within the earth and of the unspoiled beauty of Costa Rica: consider a pilgrimage to this natural paradise at least once in your lifetime, before it all disappears. Although the ocean views and the waves attract many people and some of the resorts built along the coast are of good standards, Costa Rica is NOT a beach destination per se. Fortunately, at least for the moment, nature is still sovereign and even going to the beach is an adventure!

Suggested Costa Rica Discoveries
- CRUISES - The wildlife-rich national parks and pristine islands of Costa Rica’s Pacific shore form a sparkling chain of jewels linked only by the sea. From Curú Wildlife Refuge in the west to Isla de Coiba National Park in Panama, the Pacific Explorer provides magical access to these often roadless wonders. Each day, you’ll take Zodiacs to the beach. Expert naturalists escort you through the forest, alert to the cry of a toucan, the slow-motion movement of a sloth, or the flash of an iguana. Then when it’s time to weigh anchor, back to the ship, and off you go to the next day’s adventures in the sun.
