Welcome to our tours page of Costa Rica. You are about to set foot in one of the world’s most beautiful ecological gems. The land which Christopher Columbus named the “rich coast” is now seen as one of the safest and most progressive countries in South America. The only thing to be found in Costa Rica is the Pura Vida (literally “pure life”), an optimistic zest for life in all circumstances… The Costa Ricans (or Ticos for insiders) are constantly cheerful and welcoming to visitors! Costa Rica was also the first nation in the world to dissolve its army, a testament to their commitment to peace and prosperity above all else. It is regularly classed as one of the top countries for standards of living, and has a remarkable development model that prioritizes education, health care and protection of the environment. If you are a nature lover, you will find yourself in heaven… Costa Rica is a pioneering country in the field of ecotourism, and has an extremely rich biodiversity. Several unique species can be found in some of the country’s 33 national parks and reserves: no less than 25% of the Costa Rican territory is protected! To visit Costa Rica is to discover a wild paradise in which people are truly happy – what more could you want?

Though <a href="/costa-rica/">San José</a> didn't leave us with an everlasting memory, Alajuela gave us a glimpse of the sweetness of living in Costa Rica. It's a simple city, not lacking in charm. To fully enjoy the city's atmosphere, don't miss strolling in the central park where the inhabitants come to feed the several squirrels and pigeons who are far from being shy. 
The city does not have spectacular sites, but some places like the cathedral, the Juan Santamaria Museum (a national hero) and the parks are nice monuments away from the crowd that other tourist spots of the country experience. This city allows you to immerse yourself in the daily life of Costa Ricans and that's why we advise you to choose it as a base for visiting the surroundings.
