The rain forests of Costa Rica

Welcome to Costa Rica!

Costa Rica may be a small nation, but we have made a big impact. We are home to the highest density of biodiversity of any country – containing as much as 6% of the world’s species, and 26% of our land mass is protected. We offer the ideal combination of natural resources and modern infrastructure, creating an inviting setting for both leisure and business travelers, digital nomads in search of a more balanced lifestyle, and entrepreneurs seeking opportunity. Costa Rica’s tropical climate and welcoming atmosphere have long made it a treasured destination, and our commitment to sustainable tourism has strengthened our position as a global leader.

With the Caribbean Sea to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west, bordered by Nicaragua to the north and Panama to the south, Costa Rica’s terrain is as diverse as its wildlife. Explore miles of tropical coastline that range from golden sand to rare pink beaches to black volcanic grains, as well as large mangrove forests and steep mountain slopes.

Costa Rica’s capital city of San José, located in the Central Valley, is a bustling metropolis filled with cultural attractions, historical architecture, contemporary hotels and an exciting restaurant scene. Consider it a launching point for your journey, or make it a home base for discovery.
