To celebrate our exciting partnership with Costa Rica Tourism, we're working with specialist tour operator, Journey Latin America, the UK’s no.1 Specialist in travel to Latin America, to offer one lucky winner and their travel companion the chance to win an 8-day holiday to Costa Rica!
San José, the lively capital city of Costa Rica and also known as “Chepe” offers a wide variety of world-class museums, theatres, parks, historic buildings, high-quality restaurants, and trendy neighbourhoods that will pleasantly surprise those who want to find out more about the “hidden gem” of the world’s happiest country.
The landscapes surrounding San José are truly captivating. From the rolling coffee country of the highlands, to the stunning Pacuaré River – most popular for action packed adventure activities, down to the fertile Central Valley watched over by the smouldering Poás and Irazú volcanoes.
The town of La Fortuna is where you find Arenal Volcano National Park. Costa Rica has many volcanoes but Arenal is the ‘landmark volcano’ because of its perfect cone shape. The landscape here is ruggedly captivating and it is one of the best spots for adventure activities. Zip-line through the cloud forest, hike to waterfalls then relax in thermal pools – this is a diverse and fascinating region.
Costa Rica has two coastlines, the Caribbean and Pacific – both offer a different experience. On the Pacific coast, you will find mainly dry forests and biodiversity that can survive in the tropics. Its waters are filled with tropical marine life including whales, making the pacific great for water activities such as snorkelling, diving and surfing.
Manuel Antonio is one of the smallest national parks in the country found on the Pacific coast, however, it’s considered one of the most charming due to its stunning beach and rocky outcrops backed by lush forests. Its network of trails will take you past reptiles, sloths, monkeys and over 950 species of birds.
