It's not every day you hop on a plane and jet off somewhere new, but when you do, be sure to pick Costa Rica as your next travel destination. If you already have plans to travel somewhere else this year or are saving up for the future, be sure you put this paradise on your bucket list of dream places you need to visit!
As a Central American country famous for its gleaming coastlines, rainforests, and cultural institutions, Costa Rica holds many reasons why you should be visiting soon. Let's look at some of these reasons.
Natural Beauty and Wildlife
Costa Rica boasts a tremendous number of natural wonders. Around a quarter of the area is jungle stuffed to the brim with wildlife, including sloths, monkeys, tree frogs, and all kinds of birds. And a huge variety of mammals and reptiles can be spotted here, both on land and within the surrounding sea.
Great accommodations and Pampering
After an adventurous day out, you may want to clean up and relax in luxury. In Costa Rica, there are plenty of opportunities to get your pamper on! Go ahead, spoil yourself, indulge in the services and extras, or just lounge by the pool. Either way, you're in for a treat! No matter your budget, the opportunities to pamper yourself are endless!
Good Weather
One of the biggest priorities when picking a destination is ensuring that the country has good weather. In Costa Rica, average temperatures fall between 70° and 80° Fahrenheit – and this isn't just in summer. With very little temperature change throughout the year, you don't have to worry about Costa Rica being too cold for your liking. The only other thing to look out for is how dry your vacation will be. The dry season takes place between December and April. On the other hand, the rainy season occurs between May and November. Many tourists try to avoid the rainy season, although going during this season would allow you to embrace smaller crowds and lower prices.
A 'Happy' Country
Costa Rica ranks highly on the list of the 'happiest countries in the world,' falling near the top of all lists that monitor their residents' overall well-being. You may notice this when embracing the culture of Costa Rica. The culture is spectacular, with friendly people adopting a happy-go-lucky attitude. With no army to fund, this happy country has transferred its military budget into healthcare and education to further look after its people.
Adventure
