Frequently asked questions
Costa Rica is a small country which packs a big punch. Costa Rica is one of the most diverse places on the planet, where you spend your morning on the beach and be deep in the mountains by evening. There are over 100 beaches to explore in Costa Rica on both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean sides, each offering beachgoers a unique experience. Surfers will want to head to the Pacific Ocean side where you can find world-famous wave breaks, while those seeking calmer waters will want to find lodgings on the Caribbean sea side. The capital, San Jose, makes a great base from which to explore Costa Rica, particularly if you’re visiting for the first time. Believe us when we say you won’t want it to be your last!

Think four seasons in one day! Bring all the gear you need to enjoy some downtime at the beach (swimwear, sunnies, hat and sunscreen), smart casual clothes and comfortable shoes for wandering around towns, long sleeved clothing and hiking shoes for visits to the cloud forest, and a light jacket for when temperatures drop in the mountains or in the evenings. You also want to make sure you have some decent insect repellent handy, particularly when visiting the mountains.
It really depends on what brings you to Costa Rica. San Jose is a great place to get your bearings before venturing further afield.
