Costa Rica

Costa Rica offers travellers an almost endless number of places to visit. Bask in the noonday sun at one of more than 50 beaches, visit some of the more than 150 parks, reserves and conservation areas or visit one of the most active volcanoes in the world!

Costa Rica is among the safest and most politically stable countries in Central America. A quickly developing nation, Costa Rica's primary industries include electronics, pharmaceuticals, software development and tourism. It is the most visited country in Central America, mainly as a result of its devotion to ecological tourism, which serves to minimize the negative aspects of conventional tourism on the environment. This has allowed the nation to maintain its status as one of the most biologically diverse places in the world.

Costa Rica's fantastic weather is just one of the factors that makes it such a stellar place to visit. Its mild tropical climate is defined by wet (summer) and dry (winter) seasons, though year-round warm temperatures and at least some sun during the rainy season make Costa Rica pleasant to visit any time. The wet season generally runs from May until October with April and November being months of transition. However, even during the rainy season, there is an average of 4 hours or more of sun per day, mainly during the morning hours.
