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?

Q uepos is a quite nice town located on the country's Pacific coast. Many tourists travel here to go sport fishing, to hike through the rainforest or to have a go at treetop zip-lining and canopy tours. And of course, there are others who come simply to enjoy the coast or surf the ocean waves. A visit to this town is therefore likely to be one of the main excursions you make during your trip to Costa Rica. When you're in Queopos, I imagine you'll only have one thing in mind: a visit to the famous Manuel Antonio National Park (and you'll be right to want to go there). To get the most out of your visit, I advise arriving early in the morning when the park opens. This will enable you to avoid the hordes of visitors and, most importantly, give you the chance to see the animals in their natural habitat!

Quepos is a town on Costa Rica's Pacific coast from where you can reach Manuel Antonio National Park.

It wasn't one of the best places I visited in Costa Rica, but the surfing atmosphere and the close proximity of the Manual Antonio National Park, the most country's most famous, give it a certain attraction. This also means there are numerous good quality restaurants, art galleries and, especially, a succession of souvenir shops there. I found Quepos to be a little too touristy and urbanized for my tastes, but for those who enjoy thrills and excitement, it is possible to book organized horseback rides along the beach as well kayak and rafting trips. These are enjoyable ways to get out into the surrounding environment. Where the local wildlife is concerned, bird watching enthusiasts may get the opportunity to photograph very rare species such as the quetzal and the scarlet macaw, as well as humming birds.

Quepos, a small town located close to the Los Quetzales National Park in Puntarenas Province, is especially well-known as a place to practice sport fishing and surfing.
