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?

I spent a night in the town of Parrita, which as far as I was concerned was just somewhere to stop at on my journey. And with good reason: Parrita is located halfway between Quepos and Jacó. Nevertheless, when in Parrita you do have the possibility of spending time relaxing on the beach at Palo Seco or getting out into the greenery at Rainmaker Park, which is home to an abundance of fauna and flora and has a very important nature conservation program in place. If you have enough time, I recommend a trip to Cangraja National Park, a few kilometers to the north of Parrita, and a visit to explore the permaculture farms located around the village of Mastatal. It's an ideal place for for fans of off-the-beaten-track tourism.
