In a country as diverse as Costa Rica, the ‘jewel’ of Central America, the first-time traveler might find it hard to choose where to go and what to do. The mountains –the beaches — the rain forest and national parks? The best thing is to book a travel package that range from comprehensive ones that allow you to experience a little of everything, to more specific ones dedicated either to a single activity or area.
Many of these packages can be customized to suit your requirements, and will offer a choice of accommodation ranging from colonial mansions to jungle lodges, and tent camps to luxurious beach resorts. You can choose a journey into the jungle, taking in the mighty Arenal Volcano, a variety of wildlife, hot springs, and a horseback ride deep in the rainforest canopy. Or you can opt to chill out at a beach resort at Playa Tamarindo or Playa Tambor where you can enjoy activities such as wind surfing, snorkeling, scuba diving, and deep-sea fishing. If you’re looking for adventure, try white water rafting on the spectacular Reventazon River or Savegre River, or take a fishing trip with other anglers.
If your idea of a holiday is doing nothing more energetic than pampering yourself book a spa package that takes you some of the finest spas in the world. Unwind in luxury and treat yourself to herbal wraps and massages, volcanic body wraps and mud masks, aromatherapy and a special Costa Rican facial. Some of these spas are located in the lap of nature, allowing you to also enjoy some breathtaking scenery even as you rejuvenate your body and mind.
For the real Costa Rican experience, look for a package that includes interaction with the Ticos, as the locals are affectionately called, and you must sample the local cuisine. Special relocation packages are available for those seeking to retire in Costa Rica, and they include an introduction to all aspects of life in the country. Your holiday might just turn out to be a prelude to a major move.
All tours start in San Jose, the capital city, and most major international airlines fly here. Travel packages are usually for seven- to eight-nights’ duration and prices include accommodation, taxes and domestic transportation. Costa Rica awaits you!
