Rich Coast by name and even richer by nature, Costa Rica is small country that packs a huge punch. With stacks of biodiversity, volcanoes, rainforests, and two contrasting coastlines with an endless supply of beaches, it is not surprising that Costa Rica is one of the world’s top family holiday destinations.
It’s difficult to portray the character or culture of a nation, but the ‘Ticos’ (as they like to call themselves) have done it for us. ‘Pura Vida’ is how they greet you; literally translated it means ‘pure life’, but is probably closer to ‘full of life’ or ‘this is living!’ Their infectious enthusiasm and positive attitude to life could be the reason that Costa Rica has evolved into the adventure capital of Latin America.
