Puntarenas, Costa Rica - Vacation Packages

The “Little Switzerland of Central America” has a strong democracy and the highest standard of living on the continent. Thankfully its conservation program is also one of the most aggressive, for although Costa Rica is a small country, its bio-diversity is staggering. While laying claim oto only .03% of the world’s land mass, the small Central American country contains 6% of the globe’s bio-diversity. In cloud forests resplendent with ferns, palms and dazzling orchids, hummingbirds and butterflies flit from blossom to blossom, and there are more species of birds than in all of North America.

Puntarenas provides a gateway from Costa Rica’s sun-browned Pacific coast to the riches of this prosperous Central American republic. Walk in a rain forest, visit the village of Sarchi with its brightly painted woodcrafts, or drive through sugarcane and coffee plantations to San José, the charming colonial capital.

Why go to Costa Rica?

• Check out the very active, very stereotypical Volcán Arenal. Just don’t climb it
• Swim or relax on Pacific or Caribbean beaches
• Grab your board for some of Central America’s best surfing
• Photograph the scarlet macaws in Parque Nacional Corcovado
