There aren’t many places you can watch the sunrise over the Caribbean and the sunset over the Pacific on the same day. Yet what it lacks in size, it makes up for in diversity. Costa Rica, or “rich coast” is one of the most biodiverse countries on the planet, home to over half a million species. 

Costa Rica is a one size fits all destination. Rainforests, spewing volcanoes, exotic wildlife, heart-pounding adrenaline activities, and some of the best beaches on the planet.

Jaco is a town on the Pacific coast whose secret got out in the 1990s. It’s known for its surf beaches and serves as the gateway to Costa Rica’s national parks.

Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio

The country’s second smallest national park, is also one of its most beautiful.  It was declared a national park in 1972, minutes before it was to be bulldozed for condos and resorts. This park is one of the last remaining habitats for the squirrel monkey,.
