Natural Thrills, Enchanting Tranquility
In Costa Rica, nature isn’t just a backdrop—it’s the main character. From misty cloud forests to wild coastlines, this eco-rich country blends untamed beauty with pura vida spirit. Adventure flows effortlessly here—surfing Pacific breaks at sunrise, hiking to hidden waterfalls, ziplining above rainforest canopies. But Costa Rica is also about balance: think open-air yoga retreats, serene spa sanctuaries, and quiet beaches where howler monkeys provide the soundtrack. Whether you crave connection, wellness, or wild-hearted thrills, your Envoyage advisor will craft a Costa Rican journey that lives up to the magic.
