Costa Rica

Costa Rica used to be very off the beaten path. Though the secret may be out now about this glorious tropical destination, don’t think you’ll be bumping elbows with other tourists here. There’s plenty of Costa Rica to go around, and luxurious privacy is the name of the game; just you, your villa, the parrots and the monkeys.

Costa Rica can be as adventurous or as relaxed as you wish…or both, all in the same day.
