Finally, visiting Costa Rica is also about beaches, volcanoes, forests and mountains.

A natural heritage unique in the world

Its fauna and flora represent the greatest tourist attraction of Costa Rica. There are indeed thousands of plant and animal species that are very well protected.

And if ecologists see this place as an earthly paradise, it is nevertheless the opinion of simple tourists who know how to appreciate nature. It is the perfect destination for nature lovers.

Infrastructure to welcome visitors

As mentioned above, ecotourism in Costa Rica is highly developed. This implies that the country has the appropriate infrastructure to receive its guests. Thus, during a trip to Costa Rica, one can perfectly have lunch in most of the national parks if one does not want to eat in the capital’s establishments. And about what is most often found in the local dishes: beans, potatoes, meat, white rice and seafood are common. On the other hand, the country’s hotels also serve international dishes for those who prefer to eat like at home. Afterwards, on the accommodation side, it is possible to sleep comfortably at different budgets.
