Travel Bucketlist

Adventure awaits!

Costa Rica is a spot of calm in a region of strong political currents, with high education levels, stable politics and no standing army. Agriculture and finance are key industries, and turism is a major player, with surfers and wildlife watchers coming here in droves. The rainforests are home to toucans, caiman, sloths, capuchin monkeys and butterflies. Plus, the waves are prime, the beauty is staggering and the slow pace of life is seductive. Of course playing paradise to the worlds has its consequences. Now two-thirds of the coast is foreign-owned and development often trumps environmental concerns. Thankfully, there's a real focus on sustainabiliby, with the country targeting carbon-neutrality, and government incentives encouraging reforestation and conservation.
