Costa Rica

The Pacific Coast of Costa Rica is blessed with a lush landscape of tropical rain forests and sun-drenched coastline that beckon with magnificent beaches, ideal surf breaks and big fish. So, it's no mystery why this region has become a must-visit for hikers, anglers, surfers and sun-worshippers.

Costa Rica has also become one of the world's most popular destinations for eco-tourists because of its biodiversity. The Central American country possesses the greatest density of species in the world and approximately 25% of its national territory is protected by a system of conservation areas.

Beautiful national parks along the coast harbor rare species of animals such as the squirrel monkey and scarlet macaw, along with the more common iguanas and white-faced capuchin monkeys. Manuel Antonio National Park is one of the country's most popular tourist destinations due to its gorgeous beaches and rich wildlife. Guanacaste on the Nicoya Peninsula is one of just four "Blue Zones" in the world. The area is so salubrious that local residents commonly live active lives past the age of 100, giving them many years to savor some of the world's finest coffee grown in the local foothills.

For a beautiful experience through the rainforest visit Sensoria, a family-owned operation whose main focus is on preserving and conserving nature, while creating a space and opportunity to share it with the world. They offer visitors a unique tour through their tropical rainforest, with a high level of personalized service. 

Costa Rica, known for its diverse landscapes and rich biodiversity, has a tropical climate with distinct wet and dry seasons. November to April is the dry season, characterized by sunny, warm weather ideal for exploring the country’s rainforests, beaches, and volcanoes. This period is perfect for outdoor adventures such as zip-lining, hiking, and wildlife watching, as well as enjoying the country’s beautiful coastlines and vibrant cultural experiences.

May to October is the wet season, marked by frequent rain showers, typically in the afternoon. Despite the rain, this season offers a lush, green landscape and fewer tourists. It’s an excellent time for experiencing the vibrant rainforests, visiting waterfalls, and enjoying the rejuvenating tropical environment. The warm, rain-washed environment also makes it a great time for exploring Costa Rica’s rich biodiversity and tranquil natural settings.
