Nestled along the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, Costa Rica has been attracting eco-tourists for decades, thanks to abundant wildlife and rich biodiversity. Here you’ll find pristine beaches bordered by sparkling blue waters, peaceful conservation areas, and outstanding adventure sports. Get in touch with ancient civilizations at the National Museum or tiptoe to the edge of a crater at Poás Volcano National Park. Surfers will dig the unparalleled conditions of the Guanacaste province.

Costa Rica has a well-deserved rep as a hot spot for adrenaline-fueled adventures, from zip-lining through jungle canopies to white-water rafting on raging rivers. But there’s also some serious local yin to balance out all that yang, serving as a much-needed antidote to the year that’s been. Think of a vacation here as a chance to reset, recharge and rappel down a waterfall (if you’re so inclined).
