Activities and Attractions

A national motto of “Pura Vida!” or “Pure Life!”; delicious and hearty fresh food; succulent tropical fruit; great weather, friendly people, 700 miles of beaches, over 200 volcanic formation, 32 microclimates, and an endless supply of outdoor adventure are all reasons why Costa Rica is a popular vacation destination. In terms of the country’s background, the nation is approximately the same size as West Virginia in the United States. Containing 4 percent of the Earth’s biodiversity, Costa Rica is one of the world's most biologically diverse countries. Scientists have estimated that close to 4 percent of the Earth’s species live in Costa Rica. The nation boasts rainforests and cloud forests (there is a difference), sunny beaches, mountains, volcanoes, hot springs, waterfalls and rivers – as well as all of the action you would expect to find across these terrains.
