Tripology Travel Experts Blog: Costa Rica

Costa Rica is a Destination for all Seasons

When you think green, tropical and exotic think Costa Rica.  This small Central America country has something to offer eco-travelers, sun worshipper, scuba divers, surfers, old and young.  With 22 climate zones ranging from cloud forests to deserts, 2 oceans, volcanos and a myriad of animals you don't know what you are missing.  After visiting several years ago, I immediately went home, put my home on the market and within 7 month moved to the Pacific Coast.  I chose Costa Rica's Pacific side because I like a drier climate and wanted to live on or near the beach.

One of the most important things about visiting Costa Rica is defining your interest, then finding a good travel consultant to help you plan your trip.  And 9 out of 10 times just access the internet will not provide you with vital, personal insight for a successful trip. On a few occasions at the local airport I've heard disgruntle travelers say they didn't like Costa Rica because they didn't want to go zip-lining or lay around a beach all day.  Obviously the one planning the trip didn't properly match travelers needs with the right area or activities.  Yes there is a lot of adventure travel, but don't overlook tamer activities such as river tours, bird watching, pottery making, great orchid exhibits, festivals, hot springs and spas.

November through April is consider the high season because its colder up north and very warm and dry in most of Costa Rica.  However, green season - when it rains and everything is so many shades of green is my favorite.  This is also the time to take advantage of reduce prices - both on air and for local accommodations.

So the next time you're looking for a tropical destination, come to the place of happy, happy people -  experience the Pura Vida (the pure life) in Costa Rica.
