Do you want to surf along the most gorgeous beaches of Latin America? Or go hiking in misty forests? Would you prefer to take your binoculars for a walk and discover rare birds? Ever smelled fresh coffee beans or picked juicy papayas and bananas? If you haven’t, you have not been to Costa Rica.The friendly Ticos, the indigenous population, are renowned for their hospitality, and they are more than happy to show you how to enjoy life Costa Rica-style. It’s a fascinating lifestyle, a mixture of modernity and tradition, and always green: about a third of this beautiful country is preserved in national parks, making it an attractive destination especially for outdoor and sports fans. A rental car offers a lot of flexibility, allowing the traveler a truly individual experience, discovering remote little treasures and natural diversity. The country’s capital, San José, is a convenient starting point for your itinerary. It is a relatively small capital, but has good museums and great markets on offer. If you are not too exhausted from your day of discoveries you might enjoy San José’s excellent nightlife, limited not just to bars and clubs, but visible even in the streets. Your dance card will be filled all night, the Ticos are happy to give you a rhythmical introduction to salsa, leaving you addicted to the dance.
