Costa Rica

The national motto and greeting of Costa Rica is pura vida or pure life, and it embodies the feeling of traveling here. The pace is casual and the natural world is the star of the show. Start your trip spotting monkeys in the rainforest or soaking in a hot spring and finish it with surfing, yoga, or simply lounging on the beach. Organic food is readily available throughout the country, the water is safe to drink, and crime is relatively low. Costa Rica is the quintessential Central American outdoor destination and a great option for families looking to travel abroad. Read our travel guide…
