Costa Rica is Central America's safest and most stable destination and has been attracting tourists for decades with its well-promoted eco-tourism, fantastic beaches, unspoilt wilderness and good infrastructure. San Joseacute; is a cosmopolitan capital, somewhat commercial with shopping malls and fast food chains, but charming none-the-less with its colourful markets, pavement cafes and excellent museums. There isnt much in the way of historic buildings but the CBD is pleasant and easily walkable. Costa Rica has the benefit of excellent beaches facing both the Pacific and Caribbean. Golfito, on the southern Pacific coast, is a good center for exploring the coast and seeking out your own private beach among the lush vegetation. Playa Cativo, Playa Zancudo (good swimming) and Pavones (good surfing) are popular. The coast features numerous remote coves, with jungle-lodge accommodations and a virgin rain forest backdrop. Jaco is a much livelier resort town, full of package tourists, but you can escape to the quieter offshore islands, such as Isla Tortuga. The Caribbean coast has more cultural diversity and more than half of this coastal area is protected by national parks and wildlife refuges. Puerto Limoacute;n is the main town and attracts the environmentally conscious. Nearby, Parque Nacional Tortuguero has plenty of birds, monkeys and lizards. The Creole beach paradise of Cahuita has a nearby national park with attractive beaches, coral reef and coastal rain forest. Puerto Viejo de Talamanca is more bohemian. The national parks are Costa Ricas biggest drawcard. The Parque Nacional Volcaacute;n Arenal in the northwest, is famous for its perfectly conical Volcaacute;n Arenal. It is still active and if your timing is right you can witness spectacularly eruptions. Parque Nacional Santa Rosa, on the Peniacute;nsula Santa Elena, is the oldest and best-developed park in Costa Rica and is a cornocopia of wildlife and natural beauty. The unique Rincoacute;n de la Vieja is a volcanic wonderland of cones, craters, hot springs, boiling mud pools and lagoons, while Parque Nacional Corcovado (Pacific coast) has some of the best (overnight) hiking trails in the country. If youre really looking for adventure hire a 4X4 and explore the Peniacute;nsula de Nicoya with its nature reserves, secluded bays, untouched beaches, caves and endless rainforests, teeming with wildlife. San Joseacute;'s Juan Santa Maria International Airport receives the bulk of flights, mainly from North American cities, though connections to other Central American and limited Carribbean and South American cities are also regular. A second airport at Liberia, northwest of San Joseacute;, has been upgraded to international status.
