Costa Rica is simply wonderful for nature lovers and famous for its staggering biodiversity. Everywhere you look you will find eye-catching colours, exotic flowers and abundant birdlife, from tiny orchids to brilliant hummingbirds. Yet it also has another often-overlooked treasure - its people - whose love for their country and its natural riches is clear in everything they do. Staying at community-owned and managed nature reserves is a wonderful way to be part of their deep connection to this enchanting country.

Despite its increasing popularity in recent years, Costa Rica has carefully managed its tourism to preserve its environmentally-aware way of life. You will be accompanied by some of the most highly trained guides in the world as you discover jungle ecolodges where toucans perch an arms-length away, majestic forested landscapes dominated by active volcanoes, and wild beaches where the forest tumbles onto the sand and mischievous racoons investigate your towels while you swim.
